how?
by letting them go hermie?

no all you have to do is keep the lights on at least 18/6 then observe the plants generally it will take 4-6 weeks for the plants to start auto flowering and then its simple choose the male and female that you like and use them to pollenate and make some seeds the thing is because you cant reveg it you have to make the right choice in parents from the beggining slightly squeez the stem to get more or less the idea of how it will smell look at plant structure and most important smoke a little of the respective parents to try and find the most potent ones, when it comes to the male alot of people try and collect the pollen personally iv never had great results storing pollen getting rid of all the moisture is difficult what I normally do with all my males is to starve them cut off all nutrients and feed the give them as little water as possible then you have to pull off the ripening pollen sacks you have to check the plant on a daily basis, when the female has grown enough pistols just start looking after the male by feedind and watering it properly and it will recover within a week and make nice fresh pollen for your female, by making a plant hermie you dont know what the end results will be thats why that part is best left to breeders or people with alot of experience, personally I wouldnt go near creating feminised seeds because of the fact that you dont know what the end result will be and I cant afford to waste the time growing a couple hundred hermies by accident

Hope this helps
