What the heck are you talking about?
A plants sex is predetermined, with the exception of showing hermaphorditic traits.
And if pollen was released into the air, you wouldn't see it, bud. You'd just see the result on any bud, with large seed pods and perhaps premature orange hairs. Just wait for the other plant to show, eh?

Chill. I was just confused as we already answered the question and you seemed to pose the same question a second time. I was just clarifying the answer- the " what the heck" was for emphasis.

listen shit brick, dont grow plants unless i say you can. anyways, yeah clones are always the same sex. its a genetic replica. i asked the same question about three weeks ago. my question is if the sex is predetermined than how can stress alter the sex? the fact that the plant can turn hermie means it is monoeceous. however each plant is not complete and come in either sex or as a complete plant, being a hermie. so i think environment does change the sex, in actuality.

The plant's main purpose in life is to breed. As I see it, cannabis is a primitive -but- highly evolved plant. It's genetic makeup allows for it, under certain conditions, to manifest secondary sex characteristics different from its predetermined sex in order to self-pollenate.
You'll notice a wide variety of hermaphroditism can show up, some being more male dominant but having female characteristics, others being true hermaphrodites from the beginning, while others escape the notice of the grower as they are predominantly female, but grow male sex characteristics in order to produce seed.
A handy survival trait, to be sure, but a pain for us growers unless we replicate the most favourable environmental conditions for our babies.
