I'm looking to dedicate one plant to pollinating itself for seeds. Do I spray the whole plant or just part/half of it?( I'm not sure if spraying the whole plant with colloidal silver will still let it have female parts or completely change it to male).

You can shield parts and only spray some. Up to you. Only the sprayed parts change to 'male'

So you're saying if I want the plant to pollinate itself I should only spray parts of the plant and not the whole thing?

Yeah. The pistils/calyx from the female part are the parts that hold the seeds. You need at least some left on the plant...
