Stressing a female to produce pollen??

I have a female I'd like to seed so I can store the strain for a while without having to keep a mother alive. Problem is I have no male.

I believe I can stress her into producing pollen, which I believe needs to be done during the flowering cycle at a point to late to pollenate itself, but the pollen could be stored and used to pollenate a clone that is earlier in the flowering cycle.

Does anyone know if this is close to what needs to be done? And if so, what kind of stressers would do the trick, and at what point during the flowering cycle should it be done?

Or I would take any other suggestions

Just flower her and then introduce some light during her 12 hours of darkness. That will do the trick...

Interesting

whats that?

I've had a lemon kush plant that was flowered for about a month or two, turned back veg, and never showed a sign of a pollen sack. I doubt that'll do it. It's unknown to us STILL, exactly why females hermie. I did though have a plant that did hermie that I kept in a closet for a while in the summer when the temps were high, and I didn't get a fan until late into flowering that turned hermie. Then again she was potbound, heat stressed, nutrient starved, and it was my first plant. The other plant that came out the same bag of seeds was in the same condition and seemed to be a female but ended up with one or two seeds on it (out of half an oz). Just stress the shit out of it, whichever way you can think of, and it will probably produce some sacks...if not, then keep trying I guess. Like I said, it's not really known to us exactly how female plants hermie.

i had hermies on my last attempt at growing i think it was from taking them out of the grow often during lights on and taking alot of pictures with the flash and shaking them around by moveing them all the time i dont think i had any light leaks and i did alot of stupid shit to them so couldnt say anything for sure but if i had to guess it would be taking it out from under the hps and useing the flash from the camera over and over so maybe takeing it out after lights on for awhile and hitting it with a strobe light might work lol but i have no idea just my thoughts on it good luck

DTR, now that you do mention it, I was flowering them in a closet. I didn't really have any disregard for turning on and off my bedroom light...that might be what does it. Disturbing it during it's dark phase AFTER it's been flowering. Sounds like an experiment
