confused ?

Okay i just need a simple answer
I bought alot of fem seeds (different sorts) how do i make it have have female seeds ? Do i cause it to Hermie ? Of do i get a male ?
(i got males but they're from a different strain)
And if the answer is Hermie can i use light stress ?
Simple answer;

Do research befor even attempting to breed it is best left for the Pros Not to be a dick but it takes time to learn and dont just happen over night iw ould but a Marijuana book or look for a forum for breeding.

you don't even need a book. greenman's online grow guide covers the basics on just about everything
http://www.greenmanspage.com/guides/

you can ask any questions you can't find answered right here in breeder's paradise
https://www.rollitup.org/breeders-paradise/

and if you keywords search, you can find FAQs and even youtube videos for just about anything. the best info on SCROGging i've ever found was in a video that showed the tech in action with talk about pruning techniques too. another video in bubble hash was very helpful too.

if you want the BEST book for breeding, marijuana botany is mostly about breeding, but even in the 80s, cervantes' indoor marijuana horticulture was the best guide you could find and a few years ahead of the competition that was still all about sea of green. that was the ONLY tech people were using in the beginning.

Yes, you cause it to hermie. Its best to collect the pollen from that hermie then use it on a different female plant. Making seeds out of the same plant as you hermied can have tendencies to mutate.
But I agree with the first comment. You should really take the time to learn the plants and how they grow and what qualities to look for before trying to make seeds. If you go in half-assed you will end up with half-assed end product. You would be better off just getting seeds out of shwag in the end.

Spray the plant with either silver thiosulfate or colloidal silver solution to provoke some "females only pollen" then use it to breed your plants

So you're trying to make your female plants (from feminized seeds) themselves make female seeds?

Some would advise against this, claiming that once-feminized seeds genetics aren't as "strong" as conventional sexually produced plants.

I don't know if that's true, but on the other hand, I am pretty sure that unless you're starting with an true-breeding line (and you probably aren't) any offspring produced by "selfing" a hybrid plant will NOT be genetically identical to the parent plant. So instead of ending up with "clones" of your original plant (which is presumably what you are after), you may end up with many different phenotype plants none of which are exactly like your original.

The absolute BEST way to perpetuate good female plants that you like is by cloning them (ie taking cuttings), and that's how the "pros" do it.

But to get back to your original question, yes, the way feminized seeds are created is by forcing a female plant to express male flowers (ie "go hermie"), and then using the pollen from the male flowers to fertilize a female plant (ie the same one, or a different one).

This is typically done using chemicals; eg colloidal silver, or gibberelic acid, both of which are available commercially.

"Can" it be done with light stress? That's probably *possible*, but it may not be reliable. Some strains are simply not susceptible to light stress and may not make male flowers no matter what you do to the lighting.
