Could someone explain how they feminized seeds and are they guaranteed to all be female and not hermaphedites.(sp).

If done right and the right plants are chosen then they will be 99,999% female. Most hermaphrodites come up if the parent plants had the tendency in their genes. The reversal is done by chemicals, look up STS (silver thiosulphate).

I've never had a fem hermie or be male.. DeadDog is correct but most hermies come from light leaks and other stress put on them by their gardeners.

EDIT: and most want to blame the breeder, not themselves.

Thanks for your answers. I prefer regular seeds (old school), not that there's anything wrong with femenized. I like the idea of making my own seeds f1 for my own stash instead of paying the high price of seeds. I know someone has to make a living putting the time and money into the business and definitely appreciate it.
