I think the point that AimAim was making is that female plants often put out single pollen sacks when grown way past maturity. Remember marijuana is an annual plant that produces seed and typically does not survive after a seasonal cycle. Stressing a plant by keeping it alive long past its genetic programming causes it to do what it can to reproduce. In females it is to produce pollen I am with AimAim and believe that pushing a male past its life span would compel it to produce pollen as well.
