Will a male marijuana plant affect a female marijuana plant?

Hi, I am growing ourdoors and have 2 female plants about 3 moths old and 1 male plant, my question is; Will the male affect the 2 females or possibly change them into hermaphrodites even if the male is on the other side of the yard?

The principal effect will be pollination. I am unaware of any hormone shifts in response to the mere closeness of the other sex. In Cannabis, that is. cn

Male plants will produce pollen once mature. Cannabis is a wind-pollinator, so they produce much and strong pollen. When a pollen grain contacts a female's pistil, you have plant sex in all its shocking glory. The result? seeds. Most growers who keep males do so for the express purpose of making those lovely little future-drug grenades. My opinion. cn

if you are trying to self pollinate to only certain parts of the female to get a few seeds IT IS POSSIBLE outdoors, you just have to be sure to get your pollen from the first few sacs that open, if to many open before you pull it then pollination to all of your females will be definite due to wind, insects, etc.
