reallllly? how does that create feminized seeds???

Take pollen from a hermie and pollinate a female. This will yield feminized seeds. 
Good Luck.

thats not true at all!! remember hermies are a male and female plant...if it were true then all hermies would produce feminized seeds...if u crossed a hermie with a female ur chances of actually getting a hermie plant increase by about 55%Take pollen from a hermie and pollinate a female. This will yield feminized seeds.

i'm not talking about self pollinating the hermie... pollinating another female...
That being said not all hermies are equal..... you want a hermie which is mostly female with just a few male pods. Apply these to a strictly female plant and you should end up with a high percentage of female plants.

ya i get your point but lemme ask you something...how are u supposed to get a hermie which is mostly female with just a few male pods? i mean u cant control what kind of hermie u get. you could be waiting for a long time on trying to get one lol... im just saying if u want feminized seeds and quik without waiting months just let ur flowering plant go 10 weeks past due...no hermies neededi'm not talking about self pollinating the hermie... pollinating another female...

so what you are saying is that a pure female with no males present and is NOT a hermie....if you let her flower 10weeks past her harvest date? she will then produce seeds? got any evidence to this? I cant see HOW a female with no male......or pollen can produce seeds? i can be wrong but other than what you are saying...where did this information come from?
Peace

i mean i dont know how to produce evidence of this lol but its what ive been doing for awhile now...see i cross breed strains to get the best strain possible so when it comes to crossing and getting female seeds i know my shit the best i can tell you is try it out for yourself and if u do make sure u clip your top colas (the colas with the biggest buds) because your lower buds will still produce seeds and you dont need that many feminized seeds. BUT AS IN HARD EVIDENCE NO I CANNOT SUPPLY ANY

appreciate your honesty...no harm in trying it.....SO if i harvest ALL my top colas and allow the bottoms ones to continue? guess i can try it.....those small budz at the bottom aint doing anything anyways

RODELIZATION: SOMA'S WAY TO FEMALE SEEDS
Heres an easy, environmentally friendly method for breeding feminized seeds.
Story by Soma
Creating feminized cannabis seeds is an art. Just like art, there are a few different methods of application. I have written about some of my different methods of making seeds in previous HIGH TIMES articles. I have used gibberellic acid, pH stress, light stress, and fertilizer stress to force my female plants to make seeds. All of these methods are harsh on the plants, and some, like the gibberellic acid, are not organic. In my search for cleaner, more earth-friendly ways of working with the cannabis plant, I have found a new way to make feminized seeds.
Feminized seeds occur as a result of stress, rather than genetics. All cannabis plants can and will make male flowers under stress. Certain strains like a higher pH, some a lower one. Some like a lot of food, some like much less. There is quite a lot of variety in marijuana genetics, and you cant treat every plant the same way.
It takes many harvests before you really get to know a particular strain. Just like getting to know human friends, it takes time. I have grown the same strains for close to a decade, and am truly getting to know every nuance the different plants exhibit. I can recognize them from a distance. I must say that I get a lot of help from my friends, both in making seeds and in learning new and better ways of working with this sacred plant.
I named this new method "Rodelization," after a friend who helped me realize and make use of this way of creating female seeds. After growing crop after crop of the same plants in the same conditions, I noticed that if I flowered the plants 10-14 days longer than usual, they would develop male "bananas." A male banana is a very slight male flower on a female marijuana plant that is formed because of stress. Usually they do not let out any pollen early enough to make seeds, but they sometimes do. They are a built-in safety factor so that in case of severe conditions, the plant can make sure the species is furthered.
To me, a male banana is quite a beautiful thing. It has the potential of making all female seeds. Many growers out there have male-banana phobia. They see one and have heart palpitations, they want to cut down the entire crop, or at the very least take tweezers and pluck the little yellow emergency devices out. I call them "emergency devices" because they emerge at times of stress.
In the Rodelization method, the male banana is very valuable. After growing your female plants 10-14 days longer than usual, hang them up to dry, then carefully take them off the drying lines and inspect for bananas. Each and every banana should be removed, and placed in a small bag labeled very accurately. These sealed bags can be placed in the fridge for one or two months and still remain potent.
For the next phase, you need to have a separate crop thats already 2 1/2 weeks into flowering. Take your sealed bags of pollen out of the fridge, and proceed to impregnate your new crop of females. To do this, you must first match the female plant and the pollen from the same strain in the previous crop. Shut all the fans in the growroom down. Then take a very fine paintbrush, dip it in the bag of pollen, and paint it on the female flower. Do this to each different strain you have growing together. I have done it with up to 10 different kinds in the same room with great success.
I use the lower flowers to make seeds, leaving the top colas seedless for smoking. This method takes time (two crops), but is completely organic, and lets you have great-quality smoke at the same time you make your female seeds. If youre one of those growers whos never grown seeds for fear of not having something good to smoke, you will love this method.
You can also use this pollen to make new female crosses by cross-pollinating. The older females with the male bananas can be brought into the room with the younger, unpollinated females after they are three weeks into flowering. Turn all of the circulation fans on high, and the little bits of pollen will proceed to make it around the room. Do this for several days. Six to seven weeks later, you will have ripe 100% feminized seeds; not nearly as many as a male plant would make, but enough to start over somewhere else with the same genetics.

You can also soak the seeds in distilled water before germination. This can help prevent males.
