Double Harvest With a Few Seeds?

Yes.. Because the stems will become stockier and sturdy! Just don't have it blowing them over where they have to spring back up. They could break at soil level or the lesser.. Bruise. Just kinda make them dancin' girls. Ya know what I mean?

I fully agree, but, if you are growing regular seeds, (not feminized), any extra stress can cause them to naturally form into male plants.
I had read in one of Mel Frank's books that there were studies done on stress and a higher percentage of the plants naturally turning into males due to stress such as wind, dry soil, etc. Mel Frank mentions that a plant needs to reach a certain maturity before it decides if it will be male or female, in this same book. The lower stressed plants had a higher percentage of becoming female. As for me as a grower, I cannot claim whether or not that this is true. I may have just been real lucky and ended up with a higher percentage of female plants throughout my growing experiences. I would only take it into consideration if I were paying a lot of money for the seeds.
Otherwise, I too prefer a little extra stress on the plants, it makes them tougher.
