Can Nutrients Cause a sex change

Indoor Novice: I am down to 13 hours of light. Two week ago, I was 95% sure my 2 plants were female. This week I started using "Big Bud". A couple days after the first watering with "Big Bud", I am now 95% sure my 2 plants are male or hermies. Did I cause this potential sex change?

Can you do a real-light pic?

I'm with @xtsho it's a guy. I've often confused stipules with pistils when they are young and I'm loaded. It's a hazard of the trade and unless your nutrients contain auxins I'm with @Nope_49595933949 in saying nope :)

Its a male. Is your big bud by advanced nut's ? If so You not supposed to really be using that to feed till about week 3 of flower in a 8-10 week flower strain. Even so it wouldn't change the sex of the plant .

I thought I read somewhere, that stress can cause a female to turn hermie. My thinking was maybe my actions could have stressed the plant and turned it.
You can't stress a plant in veg to turn male or hermie.
You can stress a flowering plant to throw out nanners (not balls)..........it's called rodelization.

Dropping the light to 13 on and 11off and feeding with big bud you have probably pushed the plant to go Into bloom. But not sex switching
