Just discovered on my 13th day that a Hindu Kush, which I accurately identified as female on February 14th ...3 days later is now growing sacks at most nodes...

There is a product you may want to try called Dutch Master's Reverse. It is used to make seedless watermelons commercially and can be used to "reverse" hermaphrodites that are not genetic.

I had a few hermies due to light leaks and it cleared them up, diesel ryders that went on to produce 1.5oz per 17" tall plant. Worth its weight in friggin gold

yeah check for light leaks - i had 3 females go the way of the herm because of a light leak a couple grows ago - here we call it "blast" and it can get yer hermie back on track, yer best speaking to yer local hydro guy coz it's guaranteed he'll have something similar that should get her back on track and kill off the pollen

good luck! get crackin tho ;)

The product in question contains a chemical called ethephon
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethephon

It causes the release of ethylene gas in the plant which causes a swing in hormone from male to female, ethylene being a female hormone. It is not only sold by Dutch Master, most commercial agro chem retailers sell it as well although not under the name Reverse. If you intend to foliar feed it to your plants it pays to do it on the time you switch, then again 10 days later. You will need to mix some biodegradable dish soap in with it to help it penetrate the foliage.

Even better though is to eliminate the environmental circumstances that convince plants to grow balls.
