Tips on making feminized seeds?

[Dr_Whitethumb]

I wanted to do a seed run so I bought a 10 pack of regular Afghani #1 seeds, of the 9 seeds that sprouted every once of them is female.

My only option now is to cause a hermie to get some pollen, my problem is that they're already 20 days into flowering and from what I've read it takes over 30 days for silver thiosulfate to produce a hermie capable of producing pollen but by then it will be too late and the resulting seeds won't have time to mature.

My first thought was to throw most of them back into veg while I work on getting a hermie but maybe you guys have some other suggestions. Any insight on the process of making fem seeds would be appreciated also.

i would clone them let those run through if there already at 20 days and then doing your breeding project on your favorite phenos your already a 1/3 through flower id take the bud

Herming is stress.
Quality is reduced by stress.

Clone or buy more and clone them.....

i will argue theres nothing wrong with a properly made feminized seed look at csi Humboldt one of the most respected breeders all fems

To get hermies turn the lights off in the middle of day for 20-30 minutes you can let them flower longer for the seeds ripen

I'm not worried about the quality of this bud, I just want seeds for future outdoor grows.
I've never actually cloned a plant in flowering, that seems like the best option though.
Unfortunately the plants are tiny and don't have any branches big enough to take cuttings.

I agree! You use the proper chem MIX not just one thing or the other. Stress Made S!'s are junk though!

Stable plants hit with STS make stable fems, IMO. It's the stressed out plants that herm and make seeds that are more likely to herm down the way.

BINGO!
