Maybe using colloidal silver ( Maybe )

iv never done it myself but their have been a few claims using it to force the plant to stress itself to hermi and flower to get fem seeds

iv never heard it being done on an auto though

also if you do end up getting a hermi then the seeds you get from that will more then likely grow into hermis themselves also

i would just grow some reg autos and keep a male to sex your females and get your seeds that way

but to each their own

good luck my man

colloidal silver is supposed to be he way to go.

but i know you can stress your plants if you have a light leak during the 12 hour dark period.

Maybe is there any other chances to do it or where i can get this colloidal silver and thanks for posting

Since its an auto light leak wont work in this case since they flower under veggin light cycles also

You can make your own my man

its actually pretty simple my man

in this vid she is using batteries but you can also use an adapter from a cell phone or pencil sharpener

also you can use .999 silver coins also but the .999 silver strings are easier to work with imo

ill get some pics for you also

here are some pics of alternative options to make your adapter

I hope this helps you out some

Thank you for so helpful post and rep+ for this one

If you decide to try that i would not smoke the bud from that plant

i would only do it to get the seeds

You dont water it with it

simply use a regular empty spray bottle ($2 at your local shop) to spray it onto the leaves of a known-female plant to induce the pollen.

This resulting 'feminised pollen', unlike regular pollen from a male, comes from a female so it doesn't have male chromosomes.

As a result, any females then pollinated with the feminized pollen produce seeds that can only grow into females.

iv heard some growers has reported success with just 5 days of spraying, and some had success from just 10 days, but generally about 2 weeks should be enough.

Obviously factors such as the strength of the colloid, how much you spray, and how frequently you spray all play a part.

You can if you like keep spraying until you start seeing pollen bananas starting to show, but it generally takes a few weeks before you see them - be patient.

It will also vary depending on how many times a day you spray them, as well as the strength of your silver colloid.

It also goes without saying that once you've sprayed a plant with colloidal silver (or silver theosulphate, or gibberellic acid, etc) the plant becomes a write-off in terms of smoking it.

you should not smoke any of it. Even a thorough wash with a hose won't help, because the silver microparticles are absorbed into the plant via the foliar feeding.

It's not uncommon for the feminised pollen bananas to remain closed - if that's the case simply cut them off and manually open them. You can then simply brush them against the pistils of the target female (manual pollenation).
