Just figured I would add more to this.
A foliar feed of 100ppm or higher of GA3 is needed to turn a plant to hermie. The GA3 that I used was a powder and you had to mix it with a few drops of rubbing alchol to make it into a liquid then added the proper amount of water to that for the desired ppm. GA3 is not very water soluble and unless your going to flush your plants with somehow with alcohol, smoking that bud is not something I would do. There are various foliar sprays and seedling treatments with GA3 in them (20 to 30 ppm of GA3) and there are folks that use things such as this and smoke the buds which I suppose is fine, its just not something I like to do I guess just because poisonous chemicals (natural organtic ones included) even in small amounts still scare me.
You will want to expermint with that amount of ppm in your foliar feed. I have used as much as 400ppm but the lowest ppm while still inducing the hermie is what you should be working for. Also there are reports that hermaphrodites occurring three or more generations down the line using this process. I have had this happen but honestly it didnt seem like a common accurance for me. Its been years now sence I have screwed with this but when I did it didnt seem like a big issue. I did have plants hermie on me for an extra generation but I planted those seeds and those seeds never went hermie on me. I may have been lucky and it could be a strain thing as well so you will have to experiment and if it does happen just let that plant seed out and plant those new seeds for the next generations eventually they wont hermie.
Hopefully this will be helpfull for other folks and thanks for the +rep
