    Default Noob Question - Feminized Seeds

    So I'm a tight git and want as much value from everything as possible

    If I wanted to make my own seeds would I be better off:

    Get female plant, take a couple of clones, separate them, put them into flower and spray one with silver colloidal (top get pollen) and then let them do their thing?

    Or getting two regular non-feminized plants (same strain) one male and one female and then putting both in flower and letting them get it on?

    I know this is way oversimplifying things but I just want to make sure I get the concept right.

    Thanks

    I'd go with the male and female an let them get on with it.

    Although you could grow a male keep the pollen
    Then grow a female.put the pollen on the bottom 2
    Branches spray with water so it doesn't get airborne
    And have seeds and smoke.

    If you want fem seeds just let your ladies go all the way through flower right untill the end of their life cycle and they should produce seeds naturaly. Im also certain that the only reason mj carries the male/female gene is for this exact reason. If a female doesnt get pollinated the hermie trait as its known kicks in after the blooming has finished just to make sure that there will be a next generation and she will self pollinate

    Triggering a response mid way through bloom by using colidial silver or sts is making that gene active at the wrong time and is passed on to the next generation hence why fem seeds go hermie mid way through bloom. Its not natural

    Or just use male and female seeds to create reg seeds eliminating any possible chance of hermies on the next generation but just make sure your female is derived from reg seeds and not fems unless you use the above method cause again this in my opinion is piss poor breeding.

    I have seen many cs seeds grown out and not one hermie
    I have seen many fem seeds turn hermie though
    Through poor genetics or stress
    Most peeps buy female seeds an u don't hear of them all hermie mid way through flower
    And cs is how most of the big seed co make there own fem seeds
    There is another process of reversal where us using sts I think it's called other tan cs
    Producing s1 seeds of u fav strain of its a steady strain should not hermie mid flower
    Check out all the gpk seeds green dreams made an has been grown out they look exact like the mother

    Cs is used first day of 12/12 an instead of pistils it grows female pollen sacks
    This pollen is then used on a separate flowering plant to pollinate so no spraying mid way through flower

    I will give out 50 seeds of the first ones I have ready to forums members to try out n see how they go

    Mate its deeper than that much much deeper than that at least for me it is. The whole subject of fem beans is a massive subject and i would be happy to sit down with a coffee and spliff and discuss the whole situation. Their is no such thing as 100% fem seeds.

    Man could write books on the topic

    Fem seeds are a result of big business and not for the preservation of the genetics

    Agree every seed has potential to hermie under whether it be stressor light leaks or whatever
    But if under correct growing conditions it does not happen with a good solid plant
    I just had a juicy fruit herm the last few weeks there it was a seed I had years n only seed to hermie in my room in over 6 years the last one was dp blueberry
    No other plant I have grew has done it
    I have a few strains clone only I been keeping alive for 6 years an back up of these would be good to have incase anything happens and I lose them
    I have stressed 2 of these strains to the near death and not one has turned and a few guys I gave them to try the same to no result these are solid strains possibly as the parents were good genes
    Imo poor genetics and poor growing conditions light leaks etc etc will stress a lot of strains to turn but we should all be at up to combat these things in our quest for buds
    A been quizzing breeders on the whole subject and a couple guys have been helpful n giving me some good info
    But s u say the info is endless so many factors on the whole thing
    And for new growers it can be confusing trying to work it all out

    if your breeding then its only natural to use genetics that are from reg seeds or clones of reg seeds from which males and females derive, if you are working with fem seeds and are using them to breed with they have already been stressed at some point to to produce male pollen and now again your triggering that response to produce more fem seeds so your making that strain even more hermie prone

    I was trying to educate the original poster about the does and donts of breeding

    all the big seed banks have hermie issues and I can gurantee that many seasoned growers have also had the issue of hermies but in truth if your a breeder why would you be working with fem seeds to create new seeds?

    fem seeds is big business mate anybody can throw 2 plants together and produce seeds but lets just stop and think for a minute about what were actually creating?

    do we really wanna be using genetics that have all ready been stressed to produce female off spring or do you wanna be using reg moms that haven't been stressed at all in their life to continue the lineage ?

    also if you pollinate a fem seed with reg male pollen the female has already been stressed anyway so your still not doing yourself any favours

    true breeding is from reg seeds or stable mothers from reg seeds and fem seeds are all about the money imho

    I have some s1 skunk #11 seeds and some s1 master kush x sk# 1 if you want some free seeds

    The sk#11 threw bannanas and self pollinated herself so the seeds should be fem and the master kush also hermied impregnating my reg fem sk#1 so they should also be fem seeds

    No sts or cs was used in the making of these seeds it just happened

    But please dont hate on me if the seeds hermie on you aswell ll be more than happy to give them out to as many growers as poss so i can see the results of the off spring. Pretty sure their will be some winners and losers though and im not gonna be that guy charging £70 for 10 fem seeds
