Feminized or effeminate marijuana seed.
Genetically, a cannabis plant is more or less predisposed to become male or female. This is regulated by 2 chromosomes everyone knows as the X and Y chromosomes. A plant with 2 XX chromosomes becomes female. A plant with an X and Y turns into a male. Plants have hormones that regulate it's functioning, of which gender is one of those functions. The hormone balance is genetically determined, and partly influenced by environmental factors. An example is when plant roots get damaged. The roots will produce a substance that in turn slows down leaf growth. The result is male flowers. When discussing hormone balance you get FEMALE SEED or feminized marijuana: a female is a plant with XX or only female chromosomes.
When you have a seed with just X chromosomes, you are certain this seed will grow into a plant that is genetically female. To achieve the XX only plant: a female plant is forced by a hormone called Gibberellic Acid to produce male flowers, the pollen created contains only X chromosomes, when you offer this pollen to another female plant you can be absolutely certain to get seeds which are 100% XX. Once again this seed is called FEMALE SEED. Gibberellic Acid can be found in online. It takes years for an individual to achieve the proper plant hormone manipulation to get 100% female XX seed. Supplies therefore fluctuate and there are many different strains available worldwide.

Can you explain it more simplier? I'm completely stumpted from what you said, I do under the XX chromosomes, but I don't understand how do I make mine femenized?

I am told that this should force the female to produce male flowers, and
pollinate itself, with all of the resulting seeds being female. get it?
you need gibberellic acid, if you can get it.
one option, I think, a wacky lighting schedule.

making female seeds is not going to be simpler than was explained, it is far more complicated than that in real life. You don't just walk over to your fave female and put a couple drops of gibberelic acid on it and then come back a few weeks later and harvest all female producing seed.
