Is turning a male plant hermy a good/plausible idea?

[Attach Lamps]

I figure that way I could get a little bud instead of none, right?

 

[chuckbane]

just start over, seriously

 

[Attach Lamps]

I don't have a male plant. I was just asking for future refrence. It isn't always practical to just start over, I don't have much growing opportunity.

you can't turn a male hermie ,a male will always be a male...

 

[chuckbane]

if you have a male plant then yes it is practical to start over

 

[chuckbane]

you can't turn a male hermie ,a male will always be a male...

i dont believe thats true... i am almost sure that you can genetically turn a male into a hermaphrodite

OK...it MIGHT be possible to do if your injecting female hormones into the male...but just turing a male plant hermie is like...well...just plain supid!

thays what i was trying to get at,, a complete waste for time.. save your electricity and go and buy a dime bag,, you will get more and a better high with that than you will ever with a "male hermie"

link please.........

im not going searching around for a link about something i dont care about.. im not arguing saying it is possible... but if you can turn a female hermie then why couldnt you turn a male hermie? if you want to waste your time looking for a link to prove you cant then be my guest,, but im not wasting my time over something i dont care about,,,, i will never in my life try to turn a male hermie so i dont care....

seed sex is determined just like humans are.

some seeds are fem some are male its just luck really

fems can be turned into a hermy but a male will always be a male

yep boys will be boys. females can be turned hermy by stress and shit... but males can't be turned the other way.

you said you have heard it can be done,no argument necessary just asking you to back up the statement.
