no 'method', just blind luck, and love of the plant ... lol send me the seeds you refuse ... I had a male many years ago, and another a couple of years ago ... in fact, I tried purposely stressing the hell outta my last crop, in an effort to force a hermie, as I want to make some seeds ... no luck, they all stayed female ... how's that for shitty luck ? ... ... P.S. ... as any of my friends would vouch , "I don't lie" ... :smokin:
