Producing males?

I just wondered if auto flowers (like regular cannabis) if left to flower out long enough, would it create female pollen sacks, similar to if you had just used CS earlier on?

Or would these be "hermi"?

I ask as I have an auto that's almost ready to harvest, and Id like to create some pollen to use on my other autos which are about 3-4 weeks away from being done.

Other than that, could I clone a lower branch of any of my autos and then use CS whilst it's rooting, or would this be too stressful?

Thanks.

Leaving them long enuf is called "Rodelization" ...https://www.rollitup.org/t/the-rodelization-method.704334/

imo: Better to spray cs on your lower lateral as its attached, avoid over spray 10 to 14 days won't be enough, maybe 21+ days is better

but you can save the cs pollen for the next grow

many growers are taken out by the time spent, and get caught out

good luck

Yes you can ..

even easier once you use femm'd seeds

just catch them earlier enuf

same with fim/Topping too

thanks for your imput
I mean i actually have never try., I have topped and fim with no problems. I always hear everyone saying it can't be done.
I only have grown 2 auto plants in ma life and didn't like how they perform., Probably u gonna tell me u can keep moms too? Lol just playing

you should be safe up to week 3 from germ

as for keeping moms

Na!! don't think so

but like autos it really depends on how much of the plant is Autoflowering..?

Its true i had one of those autos that i grew it was a crystal meth and it went 67 days without showing preflowers., I guess she was leaning more to her non auto parents

I checked out some stuff on Rodelization. Im gonna chop the top colas of the auto and keep the rest of the plant in low light (window) and spray the remaining with some CS. This should in theory create some female pollen sacks within a few weeks, if not by Rodelization then by the CS, or a combination. This pollen will then be chucked at a auto (same strain, dark devil) which is two weeks behind in days, but looks more like 4 away in maturity.

Does it matter how late you pollinate a female? I think I read it takes 2 weeks to get viable seeds.

Later the better as often new pollen is sterile or worse..lol

avoid low light but stay as you are

go Cs first then Rodel them to the end ...imo

good luck
