Male seed question

Currently have males that are seeding, so if I grow these seeds is there a 50/50 chance of females or will they be predominantly male?

In the FAQ it says that if you force a female plant or section of a female plant to hermie and it pollinates a plant, the female will make feminized seeds. I think it also says the these seeds could have a greater chance to become hermie's. I haven't tried this or posted a question about it yet, but I did have a hermie sneak in on me and I got some seeds. I'll see next time if they all/most come out female.

What do you mean 'males that are seeding'? You're a few days early for April 1st.
Only female plants produce seeds after being pollinated, usually by a male but sometimes an intersex plant.

Ok this is what i heard.... aspirin.
Add water soluble aspirin to the water of the male plant and the seeds will be female....
Dont take my word for it, but its worth a shot.

You need both a make and a female to make seeds.The male has [pollen which fertilizes the female, and her buds begin to fill with seeds.Doesn't matter where you are, it all works the same.Sometimes, you can have a hermaphrodite, which has both the female's pistils and the male's balls.It can pollinate itself, but tends to pass the hermi trait to its offspring. Anything you see hanging off the male plant...those are not seeds, those are his little balls.Inside them is pollen.You have to get the pollen on a female plant to make seeds.:joint:
