How do I turn my flowering female into a hermie. Correct me if I'm wrong but a hermie will make female seeds, right?

I've heard that if you flower your female long enough it will grow a sack of balls and pollinate itself. Is this true? Thanks in advance.

you need a male plant, take a bag (big zip lock) and put it over the one part you want to polinate, with the male pollen on the bagged part of the plant, it should produce seeds. the problem with the seeds is they will not all be female. a vast majority will but not 100%. thats how you turn a female into a hermie

Only a plant that hermies itself naturally makes another hermie.
Plants that are forced or stressed into hermies will make fem seeds that do not become prone to being hermies.
The best way imo to make a female produce pollen is to use light stress at about 4-6 weeks into flowering.

Do this by every week or so going from 12/12 to 18/6.
I guarantee that this will make it produce pollen and make seeds.
The best way though is to use a male and then just grow a load of seeds and kill the males and then keep the females:leaf:

Light poisoning, gebillac acid (sp) or colloidal silver can make a female a hermie.

but, seeds from a self pollinated hermie aren't great seeds (will get mostly hermies from them) you want to use a hermie to pollinate a true female for fem seeds.

but to get the most stable seeds use a male and female.

well my problem is that i have some strains that I do not have males for. I'm also growing out doors. I would like the female to turn hermie and pollinate it's self where I can have the seeds of the same strain. Do you think it would be a better Idea to just cross all my strains with white widow or white rhino? What would be the best strain to cross it with if my self pollinating Idea does not work? That may be a personal preference but I'm new to all this so sorry guys. I do thank you for your time and effort though.

Personally i would just use light stress to preserve the purity of the strain if that's what you need.
F1 crosses can sometimes become hermies themselves anyway.
If you can do all of the methods:leaf:
