Getting a Hermie out of a Male plant ?

Hello!
Been away for quite some time and now I return with one weird question:

I brought a few seeds from some kick-ass weed I smoked in Morocco last year, but lost them all on the way, except for one.
Germinated the seed to be part of the current grow, and lucky me, it's a fucking male!!! It is a great plant, vegging as good as Super Skunk (Sensi) and Amnesia Haze (home made seeds, original one from Soma).

So, the weird question is as follows:

If I intentionally mistreat/stress the male, is there any chance that it will hermie and produce seeds? This is only way I have to ever grow that strain and I'd really love to.

If it ain't possible, I'll have to cross it with one of the mentioned strains or with MasterKush (Nirvana). Which one should I choose? Super Skunk?

Hoping to hear from you,

Cheers!

your gonna have to cross it

That is the easiest option but the seeds would be from an hybrid, not this strain:s
So, no matter how bad I treat the bastard, he will not hermie nor produce any seeds?

Heres what You wanna know. Stress the male after ypu clone it. Make 3 clones, Stress ONE! Just one. Give him 10 hrs a day then 7 then 12 then 5 then 14 then 6 ect.... Point is give it the most unpredictable lighting patterns ever and he may put out female preflowers. Im not possitive ive seen this Im pretty sure I had something similar happen to a widow male I forgot about in my garage.. If the male does pop out a few calyxs, use the other males to pollinate those pre flowers.. This may not work and it may result in a high number of male plants but it may work. I also suggest you use the third clone to pollinate ALL of your above strains. You may find something special

seeds from a male plant would be remarkable
it may not be impossible, there is a well known breeder(DJ Short) that wrote some stuff up on fertile male hermies
however, this is a rare occurrence, the best you probably can do is collect pollen and create some seeds
if you freeze dry that pollen, you could try making a back cross with the offspring, but you're getting into a major project at that point

Growone's right. If you do out cross her, just save male pollen and back cross it. In a year you will be smoking something quite similar to what you had in morocco. Just do your homework on breeding and selecting good parents

Thank you all for your answers.
When you tell me to back cross it, you mean pollinating one of the other strains with it and do the same to the offspring, right? Because I have no female of this unknown strain...
PaulN'Chuck, why the 3 clones? Being clones wouldn't it be the same as auto-pollination?

Cheers!

this would be a male back cross, means using the male pollen on some females to make some seeds
then using that same male pollen later on 2nd generation females
traits from the male line will become more pronounced in the 2nd generation

Back cross sounds tight. try that! lol. just a noob opinion. i think he means save all the pollen you can get and use that pollen little by little to back cross it until you're happy. i don't know how many gens it takes. but it sounds fun. Good luck!

Thanks for your replies!
I've doing some of it already (irregular lighting, let it dry a bit more than usual, agressive supercropping, etc. If it doesn't work, I'll even try snapping some stems.
On the other hand, I will polinate the others, I think probably Super Skunk is the most stable one, but I will give it a try with all of them and them cross again the next grow.
One last question, SS and Amnesia are feminized, can that be a problem or it is the same as with regular seeds?

Not possible but i''d cross it with Chrystal

I wonder if the seeds would be "virilized" ... cn

male hermies are fairly rare. i had one. the seed you will make with it are what you need male hermies for since their pollen is special. you can breed them with plants and get some very interesting results because of the possibility of an extra chromosome.

I hope what polyarcturus is right about thta. Ive had one too. But I can guarantee that irregular light daily will work
