Is it true females can become males? how is this possible? is there a way to make males female. Is it a common thing to happen for females to turn males? i got bagseeds that were not feminized so im kinda worried.

i think what your talking is a hermaphrodite..sometimes through stress or genetics a female plant will sprout a few male flowers and pollinate itself..im not sure if a plant will herm from male to female, but in nature anyhting is possible

so if it pollinates itself then all the seeds will be feminized right?

this im not sure...i think that the seeds will be a ratio of feminized to herm...but its not in favor of the positive or else everyone would just stress there plants for seed stock......

if you want sinsemilllia they are..also when a plant gets polinated it stops producing bud and starts producing seeds....

Hermies have bud and seeds. A lot of times, A LOT of seeds. A male CAN NOT become female, due to the genetics of the plant. The seed decides male or female, stress or pollination causes hermies

Could you not you shock the plant and just cut off the male pollen sacks for later use? So you could just apply the pollen to the lower flowers resulting in some feminized seeds but the main bud and cola remain seedless.

the problem is once it turns you cant just cut a few nuts and thats it..it will continue to produce male flowers and polinate it self..the problem with polinating only the lower half is the plant will still go into seed production and slow down on resin and flower production...
