Yeah dude, Soma has a good technique for procuring pollen sacks from female plants by simply letting a plant go longer (like a month-month1/2). If you collect the pollen in a film cannister you could paint buds in your room with this pollen. this is how he achieves female seeds organically without chemicals and such. I assume you could also save the mature banana looking pollen sacks in said film cannister and paint the lower buds also. I think the feminized seed thing would be cool though. I want to try it and see if it works.

A male's bannana looking pollen sack could be used in said cannister is what i meant to say at the end!

It most certainly is. some strains do it better than others but thats how he gets female seeds. as long as you use the pollen from a clone on the same clone line. So if you have a room full of clones from the same mother then a bananna looking pollen cluster's dust from any plant in the room can be used on any plant and get female seeds as long as it's the same genetic makeup i.e a clone of the same mother.
I saw this tek in high times a few years back. it was called somas organic feminized seeds or something like it. It caught my eye because the pictur on the page was a red somango with a big juicy seed portuding from it and it caught my eye!

Age Feminization Technique (AFT) or Rodelzation
Soma, the famous marijuana cultivator and breeder (he developed the now legendary NYC diesel strain) recommened the following organic method for making your own Feminized Seeds. It does not require any stressing of the plant or addition of sketchy chemical additives like gibberilic acid. It is sometimes called Rodelization, not for the subspecies known as Ruderalis but after a friend that helped him develop the technique. Soma sets forth this and many of his methods and philosophies in the short grow guide “Organic Marijuana Growing Soma Style”.
Marijuana is nothing if not a survivor. The best survival strategy Marijuana employs is getting humans to cultivate it for its many medical commercial and recreational uses. But this clever plant has more than humans in its arsenal of survival tools. Some lament marijuana’s tendency to hermaphrodization. However this ability is a genetic survival tools par excellence. Consider a lone female marijuana plant that has some how made it to flower. Without any males she would be deprived of the chance to procreate. But marijuana like some other plants and even some vertebrate animals has the ability to produce viable male reproductive structures. Previously unfertilized females will sometimes develop male “bananas” full of pollen at the end of the reproductive cycle. This creates an opportunity to deliver her genetic contribution to the next generation. A few seeds may develop after the males bananas shed their pollen onto the female buds. These very seeds have the potential to allow females to continue in the absence of males. This is evolutionary slightly disadvantageous because it does not allow for the diversity of a healthy gene pool. But it is much more advantageous then not surviving at all! The implications for humanity are staggering and I shall leave that to the reader’s imagination.
The AFT Technique for producing feminized seeds.
1. Let selected females continue to grow about 10 -14 days beyond normal fully ripe harvest.
2. Harvest the aged females and inspect for banana or male pollen sacs.
3. Remove any pollen sacs and store in an air tight plastic bag for up to 2 months
4. You must have some female plants that are in their second week of flower before the pollen begins to loose potency.
5. Using a fine water color brush take a small amount of pollen and gently apply to all the buds except the main colas (which you will keep for your use of course) Caution: pollen will be carried on the wind and remain viable for very long distances. Turn of all ventilation and fans when pollinating
6. Let the plant finish as normally and collect the seeds after the plants have been harvested and dried. You should have a selection of mature feminized seeds that are a cross of the original hermaphrodite and the seed bearing female.
