if its possible to stress a female plant into producing male parts could you also stress a male into production of bud?
Try getting fanny fat out of your knob mate 
Oh god i hope you are male

Actually you can stress a plant into producing male flowers, produced by over flowering and playing around with the light/day cycles I'm sure you've heard of hermies, no chance of getting a male to chuck out bud though, otherwise people would simply do it, rather than binning em

Sam the Skunkman has been experimenting with reversing males.....only to test for smoke quality when breeding. Using a chemical called ethephon I believe.

Has anyone done this?

Fertile female flowers can be induced in male plants by ethephon (2-chloroethanephosphonic acid) and NIA 10637 (ethylhydrogen-l-propylphosphonate). Interestingly, stamens could be seen arising even from fruits. Stopping the application of growth regulators caused the plants to revert to their original sex. We hypothesized that in Cannabis, GA and ethylene act as male and female hormones respectively, and that the expression of sex is controlled by a balance between their endogenous levels. Abscisic acid (ABA) is able to overcome the GA induced male flower formation (Mohan Ram and Jaiswal 1973; Mohan Ram and Sett 1985).

Although many environmental groups worry about toxicity resulting from use of growth hormones and fertilizers, the toxicity of ethephon is actually very low, and any ethephon used on the plant material is converted very quickly to ethylene.
