Very male, I just chopped mine the other day. Kept some of the pollen sacs in a small jar so I can seed a couple buds. Just waiting for some more of them too open before I begin the procedure.

what is this procedure?

how I'd do it. Dip a small artist's paint brush in the pollen and dab it on the pistils of a lower branch's buds. I cover the rest of the plant with a sheet of plastic to prevent any stray pollen from pollinating the rest of the plant. I do it outside. Once dusted cover the bud with plastic for a few hours (overnight is ideal) then recover the plant with plastic uncover the bud pollinated and spray it down with a mister to neutralize the loose pollen on the bud. The pistils should have withered overnight if the pollen did it's job.

you can really seed part of a plant and not the whole thing? wont it eventually herm the rest of the crop and surrounding plants?

nope, done it dozen of times sometimes with multiple strains on one plant. The key is to kill the pollen with water. You do it like I described and there will be no problems.

I'm not as technical as frmrboi I just turn off the fans and use a q-tip, be sure to your wash hands and stuff and just be really careful and move slowly.

But doesn't new pollen sacks grow and spread from the newly pollinated buds?

Nope just seeds, the only way pollen sacs will grow on a female is if it's stressed out to the point it herms. seeding doesn't stress the plant out enough to accomplish that on it's own, you would need other stress factors involved.

that's right, some believe it lessens the chance of hermies as the plant senses it has made seeds so there is no need to produce a hermaphrodite flower.
