All Females. What to do?

I know, I shouldn't complain about getting 6 out of 6 females. I was hoping for a male or two so I could grow my own seeds. I don't want to buy any online and the bag they came from was some really dank stuff from a dispensary.

Should I take one plant and stress it out a bunch (throw it off it's watering schedule, break some branches off, get it closer to the light) to try and get it to herm? Anyone know of any sure fire ways to get a plant to herm? I figure herm seeds are better than no seeds.

Change its light cycle a few times or have a light glowing in room during light s out for a week or so. You would need a different room but I am pretty sure that would do it.

you guys should be telling him to learn how to clone, not hermi his ladies lol you know the odds of gettting 6 out of 6 to be female if their not femd seeds.. I'd say your one lucky SOB hehe

i disagree, hermie seeds are not better than no seeds.. any why not just do what everyone else has suggested, and learn how to take clones?? it's really not very hard.. it can be as simple as taking a cutting and dipping it in some rooting hormone, and placing it in a cup of water under a small cfl or two for a week or two till you get some roots.. or it can be as complicated as you'd like to make it, but it need not be that way..
cloning really is the way to go for you, you just got to pick one plant out of the six and use that for a mother.. even if your plants are in flower now, it's not too late to start taking clones..

There is one girl that has really nice long branches for cloning. The only problem is I only have one room to grow in, and im using t8's that take up almost the whole closet. So I don't really have an area to keep a mother or veg clones at.

I was hoping for a way to only herm out one plant so I could get some seeds from that one plant or collect it's pollen.

I guess I'll just have to hope my buddy who owns a delivery collective can get some pollen or male plants from his growers.

So can you reveg a flowering mother? I would love to do that to one of mine.

I made out with 12 out of 14 females, from bagseeds. You'd think I was lucky, but I don't have enough lights for 12! I was figuring on 50/50 odds. I didn't want to kill any of them. :(

So I just kept them all.:blsmoke:

keep'em all
maybe 1 will herm out naturlly
if not, pick 1 and try to force it
go to the health store and get some colloidal silver
then use the pollen on one of the other 5 remainning females
now you will have a lifetime supply of fem seed (well,,, seeds with a %50 chance on being fem or herm)

yes you can reveg a flowering plant.. after you harvest her, just make sure you leave about 1/3 of the green growth on it, and put her back under 24 hours of light for about a month or so.. some plants take to revegging much better than others, and some won't simply want to reveg, but overall, you should have pretty good luck revegging her..
but you can even take a clone of a bud at the end of flowering just like you'd take a normal clone.. root the bud clone, and away you go.. it may take a lot longer for it to root than a vegging clone, but it more than likely will, and i've even heard that using a bud clone is a killer way to get way bigger yields then the plant it came from :)

you can also try to herm 1 by giving it erregular light cycles
just take the same one out of the room at light out every now and again, hell throw the silver on it also

Im thinking that the plants your growing are already herm seeds.. he said he got all the seeds from a good bag at a dispensary .... that would explain 6 out of 6 females ...I know everytime one of our plants go really long and self pollinates itself and we find a seed or two.. everytime you plant em.. guaranteed females or herms will sprout
