Schedule for light poisoning?

Firstly, does light poisoning really work to create hermi's that will produce fem'd seeds? And if it does work, what schedule should your lights be on to stress your fem'd plants into herming?

Lastly, roughly how many seeds would you get if you succesfully hermied 10 fem'd clones that had been vegged for 2 months under a 600 watt mh?

Really hoping to get some solid responses on this thread as it will answer many people's questions!

i have a similar question. i recently harvested five plants and when i was trimming noticed that there were a few hermies. the plants were from feminized seeds.

are the seeds i found in the buds feminized because they were polinated by a hermie???

Yes messing with the light schedule will give you hermies. And yes tilo, if it was indoor it was a hermie that did it. If not then it could possible be from another plant. pollen can travel a long way in dry weather. In greens cannabis breeders bible he talks about a grower that searches for plants that cannot be changed to a male no matter how long you try. They are out there but extremely rare, especially in indica strains. He messes with the light cycles. Like 12/12 to 48 on to 24 off just truly messes the plants clocks up. He also sprays with colloidal silver. If you want more specifics about the guy and what exact percentages cant be turned male lemme know. Make sure to grow your plants on 12/12 for a while to get a lot of pistils. Then mess it up. If you mess with it bad enough the plant will cease to grow female parts and become completely male. So the more pistils the more seeds and plus you need 6 weeks at least from pollination to insure you harvesting healthy viable seeds.

Decent well bred plants shouldnt hermie from light cycles...you need to get better parent plants, otherwise your cross will suck ass.

You cant make diamonds from shit...
