Does this sound right-If I take a clone of a female,say Lemon Haze,and grow her but spray her with colloidal silver to produce male pollen sacs ok,if I then take another female,say Big Bud,and pollenate her with the LH pollen,would those seeds then be LH x BB feminized seeds?

I'm currently in the process of crossing White Widow feminized pollen I produced with a AK-47/Critical cross. Gonna call it "White CrAK" Haha.

Yes. Female plants have XX as sex genes. Male plants have XY. When you cross two plants they pass on half of chromosomes. That half is 'in' a pollen grain and in a calyx, and isn't always the same half. When you take pollen from a female it doesn't matter which half she passes on, it's always an X, so crossing two females results in XX, which is a female. Lesbian plants can only create daughters. Tiresias Mist and Lesbian Dream are examples of CS products, another and better option is spraying STS instead of CS.

Yep. Followed instructions I found on 420mag and it worked first try.

I've been growing the same strain of WW for a year and could not get the bastard to hermie despite a few hairy situations. I figured since it was so hermie resistant it would make good breeding stock. I set up a small el-cheapo amazon.com tent and brought it upstairs to keep it segregated. Got less than a hundred watts of CFL on it and no ventilation at all. A really pitiful looking plant, but it did produce nanners at around the 5th week of 12/12.
