2 feminised forced to breed?
- Thread starter bbgun80

are the seeds regular or hermie pron?
When you stress the plant with the light cycle, AKA rhodelization, you cause male flowers to form on what is considered unstable female plants.
It is true that this will make seeds but has proven to sensitize future progeny to the point that a majority pf the plants from seed are intersex prone.
If you want to force 2 females to flower, look toward silver thiosulfate or colloidal silver and use mother plants that do not herm when stressed.
STS or CS blocks ethylene production in female plants which causes male parts to grow and hopefully produce viable pollen. for methods of use use the search function. there are many tutorials here at IC mag.

MJPassion is correct. 
I would use light stress on some clones of your plants, to check if they're stable or not. Make sure you also drop the pH in the root zone for a couple weeks during flower, as this mimics the root bound condition a lot of growers run in to.
Once you have plants you know will not herm, use STS or colloidal silver as suggested. Feminized seeds are handy for sooo many things.
