Is there a way to turn hermi's back to females?

Today, I decided to give my girl a nice go over. She's a 2 month veg'd Orange Mass, in soil and sex was shown almost 4 weeks ago.
So I'm going over the bitch and start pruning the smaller tops off to give way to the bigger ones and clean up the underneth. So I cut 5-6 smaller shoots off, which left me with 21 nice colas, anyways, I was trimming up the immiture buds (Gonna dry and smoke, I'm not a wasteful guy lol) and I notice, that there's some seeds starting to develope on the buds.
So I do a REALLY good search for almost an hour and I find not 1 bannana or pollen sac. WTF!? This is the only girl I have in flower at the moment, and would hate to loose her to hermi after the 2 month veg.
So I was wondering how this may have happened? Geneticly from the seed? My conditions are pretty optimal, so it shouldn't be stress. Is there any way to stop the progression of the hermi and turn it back to female?
I will kiss-asswhoever's ass, that helps me out lol

You wouldn't wanna see this beautiful bitch turn into an IT would you?

It's a running debate about Hermie's

Lots of folks think it's genetics..... others think it is stress..... and of course some say it is a combination of the two.

I think stress is the factor personally...more than genetics.

It's a survival mechanism for the plant. Don' forget that most growers kill any male around.... the females WANT a male around. :wink:

I was wondering what I can use to stop the change to hermi, I've heard of spray's you can use, but I can't find the threads or sites I saw it on

Yea man, I've read it a few times, and now that I need the info I don't know where I found it lol
The spray's just stop the hermi from progression, you'll still have the seeds you started out with but won't get anymore, damn I wish I could find it again, I think it was called back lash or something like that.......

I totally agree with the stress thing, especially with newbs. :o

But I'm also seeing more hermi threads pop up with (somewhat:confused:), more experienced growers and when giving details of the grow, "Feminized" seems to get mentioned a bunch when giving the strain.

Not saying anything, but sure noticing a trend it seems.

Last year I had maybe one Hermie out of many. I also had a phenomenal fem ratio ... like 90%.

I think it is random....but can be decreased by keeping the plant in it's natural rhythm, nutes aside.

yea I'm gonna get that Dutch Master reverse and stop the progression. I knew there was a spray but couldn't remember what it was. I still don't know how it became hermi, there's NO male flowers, pollen sacs or anything just when I squeezed the bud it had a seed forming in it, on a couple of the buds. It's weird, if they pollinate themselfs don't they have to have male flowers or pollen sacs?

it says not to use after the 4th week but i used it on the fifth week on my girls and this is how i did it to be safe and prevent mold, i took the plant out of the room and srayed it down so that it dripped off the leafs i did not drench the buds though just a light mist for them then i give them a small shake to knock the dm off and place the plant in front of a fan for about 15-25- min or untill it is completeyly dry. also after u mix the penatrater in with the reverse make sure u use it 15 minutes after u mix after 15 min the spray is useless and needs tossed

Yea, I read up on it, says to use 2 tsp of penetrator with it (per pint) I won't need that much so I'd do half, I think I'm just gonna let her go and get the stuff anyways (if the local shops have it) and use it for now on

this is what my buddy at the hydro shop recomended so i didnt wast som much he said for every 8 ounces of the reverse add 1/2 tsp to that and then spray plants that much is enough for me to spary all 6 of my plants with no waste and u dont add anything to it either, and i am always gonna use it now that i know it works just to be xtra safe and sure
