I am telling you for a FACT!!. Female plants can and do turn male during growth.
DAMN man i have lost loads of money because of this.
2 seeds from 1 plant will differ.... FACT!!
Female clones off a female plant which is hit with female hormone can turn male still.... FACT!!
Perhaps look up polonation of the dope plant and learn a little first.
That actually wasn't from Google, Google was a suggestion to you.
Just read what I quoted there buddy, it explains the entire process and why it happens -- written by a Botanist..
I mean, I am not going to make the assumption that you aren't a graduated or in the process of being a Botanist -- but the fact that you can not even spell pollination
It isn't even about hormones or pollination as much as it is chromosome balancing..
Thanks for the negative -- Maybe take some anger management classes?
Here is some food for thought by the way:
During the 1960's and 1970's some cannabis breeders took to experimenting with Colchicine. Colchicine, a powerful mutagen for both man and beast, stops cell duplication, while the cellcore duplication continues the same. The end result is a doubling or more of the chromosome set. This treatment can be beneficial to cannabis because it enforces many properties such as higher production of thc and resistance to disease. What also resulted, when gender chromosomes doubled, is that male or female chromosomes appear manifold, called Hermaphrodites. What's the plant to become? It becomes all at once. The result is called feminized or effeminate seed.
Genetically, a cannabis plant is more or less predisposed to become male or female. This is regulated by 2 chromosomes everyone knows as the X and Y chromosomes. A plant with 2 XX chromosomes becomes female. A plant with an X and Y turns into a male. Plants have hormones that regulate it's functioning, of which gender is one of those functions. The hormone balance is genetically determined, and partly influenced by environmental factors. An example is when plant roots get damaged. The roots will produce a substance that in turn slows down leaf growth. The result is male flowers. When discussing hormone balance you get FEMALE SEED: a female is a plant with XX or only female chromosomes.
When you have a seed with just X chromosomes, you are certain this seed will grow into a plant that is genetically female. To achieve the XX only plant: a female plant is forced by a hormone called Gibberellic Acid to produce male flowers, the pollen created contains only X chromosomes, when you offer this pollen to another female plant you can be absolutely certain to get seeds which are 100% XX. Once again this seed is called FEMALE SEED. Gibberellic Acid can be found in online. It takes years for an individual to achieve the proper plant hormone manipulation to get 100% female XX seed. Supplies therefore fluctuate and there are many different strains available worldwide.
