Ferminized method... True? or not

[highwayman]

I read that if you let your female plant flower long after the "window" of harvest that it produces a banana shape polen sack that has all female polen that porduces ferminized seeds in the buds. where i read this it said that it produces it's own polen sack to keep the species going when growing in the wild (unpolenated by a male). it does this when not polinated by a male indoors because the plant sences that the species is dependent on that one plant to survive so it creates it's own polen. Has anyone tried this method or heard of it.. and if i may ask could someone try this to see if it really works because i can't obtain any more seeds so i would like to know if this is true or not.

i've heard something like that.when a female flowers for to long it will produce seeds but dont know if they would be femenized and know if it's right or not.but if u have a female plant that develops 5-10% male flowers and it self pollinates they should be 98% female seeds.it's something i read in a grow book.anyone know for sure??????

 

[highwayman]

how would you beable to get 5 to 10% of male in a female?

Hermies will produce female seeds.

 

[highwayman]

but i was reading up on hermies and they usually produce hermie seeds instead of female.. so if i stressed a female plant into a hermie and then cloned it would produce a hermie seed but if i polinated a full female with a female hermie it would give more female seeds... but i think it would be easyer to over flower a female then you would just have either male or female seed again which would be less trouble then looking through every branch for male flowers among the female flowers

I usually get about 90% feminized seed from my forced hermies but i use hormone spray to make them hemie NOT stress. Its much easier to buy the hormones spray them and let them go to seed.

 

[highwayman]

i can't get acess to any hormone spray so i'll have to light force them

 

[highwayman]

anything you can make at home that does the same thing?

Here is some Gibberellin spray for pretty cheap.

I generally treat the seeds as well as the plant for better results

Would you mind expanding on this a bit?

Do you spray the whole plant? Just a bud/branch?

I take it, foliar spraying?

 

[NewGrowth]

Yeah I just spray the whole plant I have found it to effective in producing hermies in early flowering. I also treat the seeds and give the plant a periodic treatment throughout the vegetative period. i don't use the stuff I posted I buy a powder form from a lab supply company. This is the same hormone the use to produce seedless grapes. I'm not sure if this technique is outdated as it is rather old. I know that the dutch breeders are using methods that are supposed to be more effective (about 99% feminized seed). I assume they are using a combination of hormones and C. Silver.

Colloidal silver can be used and generated easily with a lil bit of wiring

has anyone used or seen the female self flowering method done before? Because i really want to know befoer i start my only 2 seeds

 

[KINGOFTHEWEED]

i read a little bit about it in a book called (i love it)but it doesent go into to much detail

I have a book by Soma (the NYC Diesel and G13 breeder and organic grower guy). In the book, he says the way that he makes feminized seeds is to flower a set of females for a long time, until they show bananas. He then clips some bananas and refrigerates them. On the next crop, he uses that pollen and a small brush to pollinate just the branches he wants seeded, and those seeds are supposed to be feminized.

Whether this is true or not, I do not know, but he's a master grower guy, so I tend to believe it. I just haven't tried it yet.

I had herd similar. Force hemies, but use that pollen on other plants (cuts down the in-breeding. but if yo are in the deep south.......)

 

[fireice]

ill do an experment with my ladies. They are Ice. cannot be femonized.. but i will try to force a few buds in the lower of the plant to produce seed? 5 weeks in to flower now ill keep you'z poasted. Grow in peace

 

[highwayman]

just leave one lady into flowering after the others are harvested to see if the female polen thing works just keep her there until she shows banana's

i bought a few gram of ak and found a seed in the bottem of the bag so i planted it and flowered when it was 9 inch and it was a femaleView attachment 159290

View attachment 159291the weed was real good so maybe he left it to long i dont know i'm pretty new to all this
