Hi there J.C.grower!

Most cannabis plants are dioecious, meaning that they will either have female or male flowers exclusively in their genetics and will only become a hermaphrodite if stressed.

If you buy feminised seeds from a reputable breeder who has followed the proper breeding techniques, feminised plants will not have the genetic ability whatsoever to become hermaphrodite no matter what conditions the plant is placed under.

If you haven't stressed your plant then my feeling would be that your plant is a monoecious hermaphrodite, meaning that it will produce male and female flowers regardless of stress or its environment. All its offspring will be hermaphrodite too.

Silver nitrate is a way of reversing the gender of a plant but I won't go into that process here.

Best thing to do would be to buy seeds from a reputable breeder and reduce environment stress as much as you can. Good luck!
