Yes I've read about that and considered that. Except for my perspective, you're introducing genes back in as if the plant was a hermaphrodite. You're going to get recessives that you wouldn't get otherwise. It's a fun science experiment, but my preference is just to buy regular seeds, in the old days I just grow a whole bunch of random bag seeds, and get a male plant the regular way and grow them in a separate tent. You may not have space for this so this is your method but I got to tell you this is an introducing things I wouldn't want to do unless I was a pro and had lots of time and money to spare.By using Colloidal Silver to make a femininized plant into a Hermie plant and collecting the pollen.
Colloidal Silver is easy to make by using 2 silver rods in distilled water and a battery.
You can also just make half of the femininized plant into a Hermie and it should make seeds.
Not sure it's going to work. But I have several femininized seeds to play with.
The plant won't be smokable tho. But the seeds will be ok.
This is from watching many YouTube videos and doing research on the internet.
I bought more than one type of seed. I'm going to try the silver on the autoflowers first to try and get pollen to try to pollenate a different strain.Yes I've read about that and considered that.

Nowadays, you have infinite choices from vendors such as seedsman.com. I'm not advertising it, it's an advertiser on this site, and I bought a whole bunch of seeds from them which germinated well and now hopefully they will grow well. But the bottom line is in the old day, we were smoking random crap from Mexico or Columbia and we were praying that when we grew the seeds out they were good plants. Now we can pick and choose for 7 bucks a feminized seed.
I bought some from Royal Queen Seeds.What seeds are you going to run?

i'm currently growing two royal dwarf autos from RQS. i'm keeping a journal over on that forum. i will say, despite "dwarf" in the name, they are the two tallest of the four plants. haha!I bought some from Royal Queen Seeds.
3-Royal Dwarf Automatic's
3-Special Queen #1's
And got one O.G. Kush free.
I just picked some because I have no idea between the different ones.
The last time I smoked there wasn't all the crazy names in the early 80's.
What is RQS?i'm currently growing two royal dwarf autos from RQS. i'm keeping a journal over on that forum. i will say, despite "dwarf" in the name, they are the two tallest of the four plants. haha!
Hmm, I was thinking it would be short. Hope they fit in my short grow tent.i'm currently growing two royal dwarf autos from RQS. i'm keeping a journal over on that forum. i will say, despite "dwarf" in the name, they are the two tallest of the four plants. haha!

If you're gonna expend the effort, consider silver thiosulfate instead of colloidal silver.By using Colloidal Silver to make a femininized plant into a Hermie plant and collecting the pollen.

ThanksIt's great to see other members interested in making seeds @Blue_Focus ~ your new project sounds exciting. Btw, really cool profile!
Personally haven't worked with reversing autos or making my own CS, so I'm interested to see your process.
Wishing you the best of luck & enjoyment. Lot's of knowledgeable members & threads here to help guide you in the right direction. Welcome to RIU![]()
I saw that you could use the STS. But my Silver wire came in and I'm going to try it that way first.If you're gonna expend the effort, consider silver thiosulfate instead of colloidal silver.
STS has a more profound effect in inhibiting ethylene and requires less frequent applications.
You can buy it or make it.
If you already have rods, by all means, go for it.I saw that you could use the STS. But my Silver wire came in and I'm going to try it that way first.
I've been watching the YouTube channel called Weed in a Pot. He said to apply it twice a day until you see balls then stop. Once when the lights go out and just before they come back on. That is if you do the light shifting.If you already have rods, by all means, go for it.
CS works fine, you just have to apply it much more frequently
Yeah, if you've got the supplies.. All it takes is practice and doing the thing. Colloidal silver works for lots of people. I started with purchasing CS then opted for the simplicity and shelf life of mixing STS. Making your own using electricity sounds a lot more fun lol. Plus when you run out you can just make more!I saw that you could use the STS. But my Silver wire came in and I'm going to try it that way first.
Must be from Buckeye state? Me too and I'm thinking of ordering clones and a sp3000 I have everything elseNew here and to growing. I've watched everything I could find on YouTube. I think I'm ready.
What I've bought so far.
24"x24"x56" Grow tent.
110cfm 4" fan.
4" carbon filter.
Spider Farmer SF-1000 EVO.
Several autoflowers from Royal Queen Seeds.
5 gallon cloth planters.
2-24 hour manual timers.
All in one PH and PPM meter.
Variety of other parts and pieces.
The tent with be in my basement that stays around 76⁰ and 50% humidity.
I'll be using an app for the PAR.
I'm going to wait until the law is in place before I start growing.
