Feminized seeds with one plant

Hey guys,

Been searching for a while now with no answer.
I currently have one feminized northern lights growing, I was wondering if I stressed it and forced it to hermie(either with colloidal silver or messing with light patterns) would this plant then pollinate itself and produce feminized seeds?

It will pollinate itself and produce mostly hermi seeds with some and females mixed in. because its a girl there is no Y chromosome present so you cant make more males but she can certainly make more hermis hahaha
ps. dont use those seeds lol

my answer would be yes from my exp. which aint much i did the same thing and have a whole lotta beans now i planted a new season all were fem and not one hermi

i have another 3 more beans going from same self pollen plant will see if they hermi but so far no problems with my beans nice n healthy...

and another note is that their are also pretty much all the same in growth one might grow lil bigger is what im seeing but so far so good with me

Yes, but as I understand it you need to use the pollen on part of the plant that has not hermied. Otherwise you risk getting herm seeds. Not too sure on the accuracy of this. But it basically means you can't stress the whole plant unless you're doing it just for pollen. I would colloidal silver a branch or take a clone and colloidal silver that so you can just mulch it when you get the pollen you need. Pollinate a branch or three on the mother (that have not hermied) and Bob's yer Uncle :bigjoint:

Awesome thanks for the replies,
I still have X2 NL fem, I'll hermie this plant and if the seeds from that batch start giving me hermie issues ill use my last two seeds to do a proper colloidal silver method with the two plants.

That sounds like a much better idea actually, if I hermie one branch of the plant will it polinate the non hermie parts by itself or am I still better off collecting the pollen and doing it manually

Yeah do the pollination yourself. Make sure the branches you pollinate have not hermied whichever way you go. I like the clone idea myself so you can treat it well away from the mother. Grab pollen when ready, bin the clone and you're set :bigjoint:

what i do is mark off a lower branch with a twist tie or zip tie tape ect. and i used a spray 12$ ebay and u hit the steam not the leaves so much with it and watch ur back fire spraying i was noob and the over spray hit the main stalk and it made its

way up to the next node of buds just slightly..it says spray for 14-21 days and yes it says not to spray whole plant when sac's show wait till they open u can collect it on a playing card and dust a bud site

for some seeds again watch for back blast as that dust is gunna fly and land in spots u might not want so just beware...

also i take back my first statement i thnik i might have crossed the same type of fem seed to another fem

the 3 beans i speak of are ones i self pollinated they look healthy ill update if any of them hermi sry for incorrect info thank god for notes

Why??? seeds are like 2 dollars each if you buy them on the bay.... why would you risk growing a plant and wasting 30-50 days on it only to find once you flip it to flower its a hermi?
just buy new seeds and if you really want to breed, buy some Tmist or colloidal silver and do it that ways top trying to half ass shit, this is how you introduce shitty genetics back into the gene pool.

notice what separates my comments from the rest of these guys... experience.... I am a breeder and have years of experience.
