So I have been doing some research BC I run autos and I am tired of having to buy seeds and don't want to waste time cutting males. I know how to use colloidal silver to make all female pollen but my question is should I water it with the same nutes as my others or should I not give them nutes since I want them to hermie? If anyone has tried this or knows how to do this any help is awsome?
Colloidal silver?

You are not trying to make the plant herm, you are chemically creating pollen that has no male chromosomes. Two completely different things.
people do use colloidal silver however, if it's males you don't want and seeds you you're tired of buying, why the autos?..go for fems and create moms or clone of clones (taking a cut of plant you are flipping to flower) you'll never need to buy seed or worry about males..the big plus with moms are the clones you are taking are genetically the same age as mom (obviously, but some people don't realize this).
Bc I only have one room and its not very tall so I keep them short otherwise I would only veg for a week and autos yield better than photos grown at 12/12 from seed or a week or two veg. But thanks for all the help

feed with same nutes you would otherwise. maybe lower ppms slightly to accomodate for that foliar spraying.
