colloidal silver vs stressed intersexing?

[kotaburnz]

So ive been reading up a bit on cs and how it disrupts ethylene production in plants to produce female pollen sacs. Is there any difference if I were to just stress the shit out of a plant till it is intersexed?

Prefer using a mother that doesn't herm due to stress and requires something like CS to herm it.
If it will herm with stress, that trait most likely will carry over to offspring.

I agree with Althor.

You would get pollen sacs either way, except with cs, you can use a plant that would be able to handle stress without making pollen sacs so that your seeds don't carry that low stress tolerance trait over. (hermie trait is what most call it)

Colloidal Silver is one of the best methods. It's easy, cheap enough, and pretty safe (don't smoke the sprayed plant).

True colloidal silver won't stress the plant at all. It just makes it think it should be making pollen sacs instead of calyxes with pistils. It isn't a stress response. The stuff you buy online is most likely not true colloidal silver though (not completely anyway) and you might burnyour plant, so don't spray it on the leaves. If you made your own true colloidal silver at about 20ppm, you would get a perfect reversal without damaging the plant. It will look like a male instead of a mutated female with pollen sacs everywhere.
