how do you turn a female clone into a male?

hello all,i want to inbreed a female plant i have and make seeds.
so i was wondering how to make a female clone turn into a male plant. thanks for all the reply's and have a buzzed day i know i will ! PEACE AND gOD BLESS.

I know of no for sure way. Stress is how we get hermies. I'm curiuos what answers you get.Good question

Spray the future flower sites with gibberellic acid,it a plant hormone.Once you induce flowering you should see male flowers develop were sprayed,the pollen from these flowers can be used to pollinate the female flowers on the same plant thus producing feminized seeds since their was no male genes involved. Hope this helps bro
 
hello all.those ways like stess and silver are for makeing a female hermie and produce feminized seeds. i remember reading a long time ago that you can make a female clone turn male then put into 12 and 12. it will be pure male.any ideal's on how to do that????
it's nice seeing all of you here and may you have a buzzed day, i know i will. peace and God bless

Stressing a plant can cause it to hermie.

STS and CS do not make a female "hermie"...
Both processes create a chemical change in the plant which inhibits the female traits, and create female pollen.

There are NO other know methods of changing the sex of plants.

Gib acid is known to cause male expression in females. Is that a stress condition or is it inhibiting ethylene production?
 
i can tell you what happened to me.i had all my clones in the box this winter when the heater went out.the temp got down to 28f for a day untill i got back and discovered the problem.When i flipped the clones into flower much to my astonishment i had 5 males.they were not maph but pure male.The only thing out of the ordinary was the cold temps.I did a little research and found that cold stress can change the sex.Hope this inspires.

Stress can be much more likely to lead to intersex expression in the filial generations than simple ethylene inhibition... at least in my experiences.

I wonder why that is. As far as we know the stress on an organism doesn't increase or decrease the production of gametes with certain genetic markers.

Colloidal silver suppresses ethylene production in bud sites, stimulating male characteristics. Spraying selected leaves, branches and – in cases where large a amount of seed is desired – whole plants with colloidal silver solution has become a preferred method of obtaining feminized seeds. Gibberellic acid has also been used for the same purpose, but it is harder to find than colloidal silver. One method of obtaining colloidal silver utilizes a small direct current power supply and two pieces of solid silver jeweler's wire, or silver coin.[40]
Some cultivators claim that the genes responsible for hermaphroditism are present and may be expressed under stress from any of the above methods and that once expressed, this characteristic passes to seeds regardless of what activated it. This view, in large part, is incorrect, as a random half of the genes present in each of the parental plants passes to the next generation, regardless of whether the genes that contribute to hermaphroditism were induced by stressors or not. This widely accepted Mendelian model of inheritance (Mendelian inheritance) does allow for genetic mutations that have occurred in the germline (Germline) of an organism to be passed on to any offspring, but this process applies to all DNA sequences, not just those contributing to hermaphroditism. The inheritance of acquired characteristics (Lamarckism) that are not directly coded in the DNA sequence (Epigenetics) has recently received much attention in the area of genetic research and could possibly explain any anecdotal evidence for increased hermaphroditism in the offspring of plants induced to a hermaphroditic state. However, a more likely explanation is that by propagating plants easily induced to hermaphroditism by environmental stressors, the frequency of genetic elements contributing to this trait is increased by artificial selection following traditional genetic models of inheritance. Some theories suggest it is possible to selectively breed hermaphroditic cannabis to express the female flowering before the male flowering

As far as pH and light stress goes I'd assume it's to customize the particular line to its environment.

A plant that is light poisoned exhibiting male flowers still flowers though the phytochrome regimen is insufficient to support flowering.

Miracles happen, we just run around trying to explain them all ;)

so i was wondering how to make a female clone turn into a male plant..

1. STRESS . if the genetics are prone to hermaphrodites, then a combination of HEAT, LIGHT, and OVER-FEEDING can promote male flowers.

2. CHEMICALS . if the genetics are stable then a dose of Colloid Silver will often inhibit female sexuality in an otherwise female plant holding XY chromosones. As a result the male (Y) flowers will be displayed and you can use the pollen.

3. NEVER . if the genetics are 'true' and stable. like the original Exodus Cheese clone for example. These clones do NOT produce viable pollen.

Hope this helps

I think it's important to note that a male is a male, a female a female and a hermaphrodite is a hermaphrodite.. peace out Headband707
 
hello everyone,thanks for al your help !!!! i thought for sure there was a way to turn a femal clone into a male. mayby the best i can do is femminized seeds then. i'll try that but i'm going to try some stress to one and see if i can get it to change sex. hans again fo al your help and hve buzedday i know i wll. peace and GOD BLESS
