I think your mixing up the termogoly of things. Herming or hermi means the plant grew both male and female parts of its own accord. Not something you want. Reversing is when you introduce silver "STS or CS" into the plants system and cause it to make male reproductive parts on a female plant thus creating female only pollen. STS works better and is easier to use. You simply spray the silver onto a branch and that branch will reverse its sex as silver blocks the one hormone that makes female sex parts and in turn it makes male parts. As the plant is a female it only has female chromosomes vs male ones like from a male plant pollen source. So when the pollen hits the stigma it is fem seed. In normal life pollen is male and stigmas are female and the seeds/kids are a 50/50 mix of male and female, this method make the kids 99.9% fem. but does not protect against disease or hermi traits. it also can weaken its genetics long term if you keep making fem seed from fem plants. best to start with reg seed then Reverse one plant and breed it with another plant. I have done this using CS and it worked out for me. I did a self back cross and the plants offspring are stable. I started with a good breeder, but I would not use the seeds I created for any other breeding projects as its just not a good idea. So in short, reverse one part of a single plant "plant A", and pollinate the other plant "plant B" with the pollen the other plant made "plant a pollen". Plant A pollen >>>> Plant B flowers = seeds, If plant A also makes seeds, they can be used or tossed out, they well be self'd and not as good as the a to b seeds. Do not use any part of the sprayed reversed plant for smoking or eating. Best to toss it out and skip the compost pile. Good Luck!

You would have to do it as you start to flower. Honestly I would not since the plants will generally always end up smaller. Plus you also increase chance of plant naturally going hermi. If you are trying to save money on seeds there is lots of banks that will send seeds for diaries. Just track your grow with good information and start asking around.

I think you information is wrong. There are lots of video of other people doing it. I have been doing a lot of research and I am even talking to people right now as we speak about it.

You will not charge the sex if you do they will not be any decent seeds as still 75% chance of being hermies you need a proper male plant to pollinate the female but if you also grow bud its big risk as you can pollinate the other plants easy from just clothes and its invisible so why would you want to risk it but they will not be decent seeds inless you have male plants and not one that started female sorry for saying

Hermie seeds are not something that you can use they will never be any decent buds cos they will be hermie plants and they will be full of seeds so if you want hermies over and over again then please do however if you want nice smoke then use proper seeds
