wait..so all you have to do is keep the plants in the flowering stage until they sprout male bananas ?...

No, that's not all, but that's the start of the process. Have you ever grown ur bud before and see little yellow things sticking out? Those re the Bananas they are talking about. It will show up sometimes if your plant has been stressed, and also if you been flowering to long. Those Bananas are the key to making the Feminized seeds. But after that you need a 2nd crop flowering to pollinate with. Give the article another read over encase there are things you have missed.

Sorry it took awhile for me to give you a response. Been pretty busy lately and haven't been able to get on much.

ok so do i have to stressed the plant? and then let it flower for a longer period of time to get that banana? im guessing no since it will reverse it or make it a hermie. or just like do the regualr flowering and let it flower longer then i get the bananas without the stressing? dang sorry noob here. do u have any pictures of it? yellow things? what yellow things? please send pic these is really interesting

When U Flower for that extra time that is what stresses the plants. Yeah, sometimes the bananas will show without u even meaning to get the to show. I can try to find some pics of what it looks like for you. The yellow things are the bananas. They poke out of the buds, and it really looks like the end of a banana. I will see if i can find a pic for you. Just give me a little because i got a lot going on atm

I got that picture for you. Look where it says Yikes! You can seen a little yellow looking banana popping out of the bud. This is what you are looking for. If someone has a better pic, maybe one that is more magnified, let me know. For now I Hope the picture helps!

Sorry man I could have sworn I responded to this. Not sure what happened to my response. Ok, If you see some yellow looking thing that doesn't belong in the bud, that is the male banana. You can take it out when you see it. Use tweasers. Then you can use it to pollinate a female of the same strain. Or freeze and save for later.

Rodelization is just going to create normal seeds. A self pollinating female do-sent create magic seeds. Try germinating seeds from a female that has self pollinated and you will just get normal seeds.

Rodelization sounds a lot like herming your plants and using that pollen to another plant... I bet you that these "femanized" (actually hermed) seeds will have very high rates of herming from different sources of stress or are just flat out herms to start off with. Just grow a hermd plant and collect it's seeds instead of using this method, it's the same thing but you don't have to waste your time with 2 crops to get seeds.

Herm risk depends on the resiliency to aboid herming under natural stressors.. The reason why treatments like GA or colloidal silver are used is because good candidates for feminization won't produce seeds to to natural stresses, so those methods are the only way to convince them to do so..
If you have a plant that can handle early stresses like a champion, but does poke bananas when over-ripe then it's likely a decent candidate to use for feminized seeds because pollen isn't a threat at that time unless you have early flowering plants growing near it..
I don't know how likely it is for great stress handlers to rodelize though.. All I can say is that I've seen rodelized male flowers grow off of plants that didn't seem to herm much at all under low stress conditions.. That said, I did find a few mystery seeds/pound in those plants when harvested properly, so they may not have been good candidates..
Personally I'd much rather clone from a great mother from two great lines than play with feminized seeds.. Even if a plant is a superb candidate for feminization, its offspring will be less superb due to the generation of pure inbreeding.. Ideally ppl should be herming one great candidate, taking the pollen, and fertilizing another great candidate with that pollen.. That way you get less inbreeding fatigue, and less chance of easy to herm seeds..
Plants are generally MUCH more resilient to inbreeding problems than
humans are, but there is still a small downside..
