Can I make feminised seeds from male plant?

I'm probably stupid but I bred my own seeds a little while ago, my friend has grown 5 which turned out to be male, I have grown 3 which turned out to male. I currently have five growing and it looks like two are going to be males, and the other three are yet to show.

If they all turn out to be male again I would like to carry on and make another batch of seeds, but only if I can feminise these seeds?
I have read a bunch and its all about making the female plant produce seeds so they will be feminised, with the colloidal silver.
I've tired myself out of searching to see if I can make a male plant produce feminised seeds so hopefully someone can clear this up for me?
It doesn't look likely, but jeez, we're having bad luck with them turning out to be males. I'm just a casual grower and have plenty to keep me going but it's wearing pretty thin wasting time on males, especially with my lack of space and only one area to grow

You have to use a female and its l best to use clone from strong pheno. Then you use your colloidal silver to force the female to produce feminized pollen sacs.

Yes, you can. You can reverse a male with ethephon and make seeds, but XY + XY means you'll get 25% normal XX females, 50% normal XY males, and 25% YY "supermales". You can pick out the females and proceed with reversing those to make fem seeds.

I've thought about using ethephon to reverse males.

I'm a critic of using ethephon prevent or mitigate hermaphroditic behaviour in plants grown for production but I don't have any issues with using it to reverse a plant for breeding purposes.
