Has anyone succeeded making feminized seeds with colloidal silver

Ha ha, lots of funny posts. Anyway, I've been studying up on how to make my own feminized seeds. I have a very small grow room. Don't have room for making clones, don't want to pay ten dollars a seed for the store bought feminized seeds, which I've done before with great success. Recently I made some colloidal silver using a 9v battery, distilled water, two sliver dollars, and a couple wires with alligator clips. I left the thing overnight about 13 hours. When I checked my solution with my ppm meter it said 38 ppm. I've been isolating a single small branch on my female donor plant with a plastic bag, then spraying it two-three times per day. Its been 7 days now and I noticed today that the pistils coming out of the calyx have regressed and are almost gone. There appears to be something going on there. All the calyxes on the other branches have pistils that are long and white and vigorous.
I hope to make myself a big batch of feminized seeds that will power my little grow room for a while.

Be careful,most"silver coins" are not pure enough to make colloidal and can put zine copper and other unwanted(poison to plants) in your solution. It must be 99.9999% pure.

Thats because your a muppet with no idea. If you worked in a hydro shop for 10 years fuck you must have dribbled a lot of bullshit to your poor unsuspecting customers needing good advice. You dead set cockhead.
no idea lol u can spend ya extra coin on ya feemed seeds for a 50/50 chance see how that works out for u ;) bet ya u love to grow auto's as well ;)

Here is a picture of some of my current grow, feel free to share yours if you have one. You are still an idiot who works in a hydro store for a living and doesn't have a grasp of basic biology or science. And try using spell check, any argument is hard to take seriously when you can't even spell with the help of a computer.

Man i would just sit in that chair all got-damn day if that was my backyard.......But anyway. Yeah fem seeds are not a myth, either that or i have outstanding luck. I've bought plenty of fem seeds and never got a male. I only got one hermie, and that could've easily been from stress. I fucked that shit up. Let it go for way too long, Cotton Candy from delicious seeds. Ended up making me feel dizzy and cloudy headed instead of the sativa high i was looking for. I haven't used collidial silver yet to produce seeds yet but i will with my current grow since Barney Seeds L.S.D and Pyramid Seeds Tutankhamun doesn't come in regs. I found some collidial silver online, 250ppm in a 2 fl oz bottle. Not sure if this is enough but i'll see.

250ppm may be a bit high...think I used 40ppm when I did it :confused:
And yeah, I've also always grown feminized seeds...never had a single male, and the few hermies I've had were most definitely from heat stress.....

Word, I found a collidial silver generator on Amazon for $26. I'm just gonna get that.

just buy th mist and it works even outdoors for I did it and it worked my first try outdoors and not one plant hermed for I gave lots away to friends that loved them,no I have never sold a seed.wish I would have keeped a few but I did not know how well they would work but now I know and will make moore fem, seeds this year.please forgive me for I cant spell for shit.ky

My first job was at a sportbook and they had this room full of "bloggers", they would write the entire day post about how good the casino was and so on to improve SEO.

I always wonder why is that CS is not popular and seeds banks are. I guess CS just has a bad reputation because there are too many seedbanks.

It is a bit difficult to get goos seeds where I live so I tried Colloidal Silver years ago. It works every time, at 50ppm, at 30ppm, at 10ppm, it always works and the seeds are 100% fem and no hermies because the male flowers were induced chemically, not by environmental factors.

I do seeds because I feel they have a vigor and symmetry the clones lack. At least the ones I take.

if u only new how many femmed seeds i have gone thru nob
So Becuase you cannot make yourself a solar panel it is all hoowie? Learn science and breeding ....geez if it was up to you we all would be walking all fours still

We explain how "feminized" seeds are made, why the plants are more likely to turn males, and how to use normal seeds to get a large all-female crop.
By "G" - Thursday, August 21 2008

The idea of “feminized” seeds is heralded as a new wave of breeding enabling you to grow only females, but in reality it is a less reliable and less effective method than simply cloning your favorite plant. Feminizing seeds is nothing new; in fact, it’s done from a process that used to be called “hermaphroditic breeding” or “Breeding with Herman”.
Even a leaf can root!
During the 1970s and ‘80s it was often the case that the seeds you grew came from a bag of good bud. The bud usually had a name, but it was often made up by the local dealer trying to make his stash sound more exotic. In truth, you knew nothing about the parentage of the seeds that your bag contained. Sure, the female was great smoke – but you knew nothing of her size, shape, yield or genetics. The male involved was a total mystery; there was no way you could guess what the genetics of the pollen donor was. These seeds generally resulted in a range of plant genetics, which made one believe that there were a variety of males around when the female was budding.

As is often the case when genetics are mixed, you get failures and successes. More than one great breed was founded on a bag of random seeds. You would plant a hundred or so of the seeds you had, wait to see what Mother Nature – and your local dealer – had handed you, keep your fingers crossed hoping for a super-breed, and watched as some of the seeds came up. A few of the seedlings were sickly and didn’t live long, while others were strong, vigorous, and grew like weeds (pun intended), so you culled the sickly, nourished the healthy, and picked your favorites.

Through this lengthy and detailed process you would end up with a number of healthy young marijuana plants, which would be transplanted into large containers and, after ten to fourteen days, introduced to a budding cycle of 12 hours light and 12 hours dark. This causes the plants to elongate and show their sex, so it was easy to quickly find and kill the males and wait patiently (or impatiently!) for the remaining females to develop buds and ripen. Doing this inside grow rooms and greenhouses was easy and effective, but the seed planting and selection
Fucking incredible, three weeks into floweringprocedure had to be repeated every year, and crops varied from big and dense to small and weak. We also found that after all that trouble of removing males, we sometimes ended up with females that switched sexes when they were stressed, resulting in accidental cross breeding – female plants were pollinated by females that developed male sex organs (hermaphrodites). We decided to grow out those seeds and, to our joy, we discovered that the ratio of females to males was skewed to a greater number of females. This was our discovery of hermaphroditic breeding.

Around the same time we were re-introduced to the method of cloning – I say re-introduced because while it wasn’t a process we had been using, it was a simple gardening technique my grandmother had shown me years before as “making cuttings”. She would cut off a branch of a plant with a sharp knife and stick it into a hormone rooting solution, homemade from pieces of willow tree branches soaked in water. Growers these days buy rooting hormone, but the process is identical.

I had a crop of 20 young plants of various strain backgrounds. We took two clones from each of the plants, and then used the budding light cycle to force the sex to show. Once we identified the male plants (half of them) we killed them and their clones, which still left us with ten large budding females and their 20 clones.

Now we had ten different hybrid genetics in total with two clones from each to work with and choose from. Even though we were making great strides, we wanted a room full of the same breed with the same size and characteristics. Basically, we wanted many copies of one great female plant so made the decision to play “Breeding Hermans”. We took two clones from one female plant, stressed one of the clones until it developed male sex organs, and then bred it with the other female clone. To our delight it worked – we ended up with seeds that grew into females 85-90 percent of the time and were consistent with the original female plant’s characteristics. We could now plant around 30 to 40 seeds and end up with 30 female plants the same size with the same genetics. We were ecstatic.
Placing clones in the soil
However, silver linings often have a cloud attached and it was true in this case. The female plants that developed from hermaphroditic seeds had the drawback of being far more likely than ordinary plants to develop male branches – turn “Herman” – when stressed. More than once, a power, pump or light failure caused enough stress to the plants that they easily went hermaphroditic. Outdoors we had even more trouble; in bad-weather years we could end up with a plant from a feminized seed developing male flowers and blowing pollen all over the other plants, ruining our dreams of a sinsemilla crop. We decided that feminized plants might have a place in our business’ industry, but it wouldn’t be in our gardens.

It was our dream to grow rooms full of females of consistent genetics, and we made our dream come true by going back to cloning. It was so simple that we couldn’t believe that we hadn’t thought of it before. We planted ten normal seeds and nourished them with love and care, but this time we took 25 clones from each plant instead of just two. Then we put the mothers into bud cycle and sexed them; within ten days we identified and killed off the male plants and their clones, and found that we had six large females in bud and around 150 female clones. We continued to bud the mothers as we began to grow our female clones, and finally decided there were two plants that stood out from the crowd – they were bigger, denser, and smelled the best, so we kept their clones and culled the others. We harvested all of the mothers then placed the 50 chosen young marijuana plants into two rooms and switched them to the budding cycle. We had developed a process that made our dream a reality: grow-rooms full of consistent female plants.
Rooted clone being transplanted
It doesn’t take a horticulturist to see that using cloning to procure a room full of female cannabis plants is far more economical than growing “feminized seeds” that easily go hermaphroditic. It is simple to grow numerous female plants with only a few seeds of known genetics. For example, if you get ten seeds from a world-class marijuana breeder/bank, such as Burmese from Vancouver Island Seed Company (VISC), those seeds should become ten
seedlings. At three to four weeks, take ten cuttings from each of the plants, then flip the plants to the bud cycle. Kill males as they show their sex and get rid of their clones, and you should be left with about five large budding females (more or less) and 50 guaranteed female clones of the same pure genetics, without any hermaphroditic tendencies.

So, for the price of ten seeds you end up with dozens of pure female plants, instead of purchasing “feminized” seeds only to get an unstable and unpredictable hermaphroditic breed. You can use regular seeds to grow an all-female crop, and that’s
why we don’t sell feminized seeds.
Wow have a go at this bloke holy shit u wouldn't want any information from him on what to buy it was way back in 2014 this thread I wonder if today he's still saying there's no such thing as female seeds he couldn't be more wrong and he's got the hide to call people names n shit if these one thing I can't stand is a know all asshole that thinks they know everything but reality is they know nothing and there could be 99% of people saying your wrong but they still go on like they are right just like this tosser.
He obviously Bort he's seeds off someone that was just ripping him off then just because he's seedlings turned out male well shit there's no such thing as fem seeds he says.
He's a liar he didn't work ten years at a hydro shop because if he did he would of heard so many people saying there's such a thing.
Anyway I'm sure he knows by now that there's such thing.
Apparently tho it is only 99% I watched a show the other day about a pot farm and out of so many 100s of plants there was a male plant here and there that they pulled out so chances are a male could turn up in a batch of fem seeds.
It's now 2021 I Bort some fem spray a few weeks ago it was 30ml bottle and I sprayed a branch on each plant of the 3 I had in the tent they were fem Bort seeds from ilgm and out of the 3 branches I sprayed there ended up being no pollen sacs at all but there was 1 cluster of sacs on 1 plant in a bit where I wasn't spraying obviously over spray thing is tho the buds are now in week 5 I think it's now too late for it to successfully make the seeds and for em to be ripe in time ino they are female because I already had a harvest from them I cut all the buds off then put them under 24 hrs light again they came back even more busy then the first run so keep that in mind if u can't make fem seeds on a plant ud love to grow again just re-vege and do cuts.

ok now we are gunna get all technical and say how MUCH WEED we grow not even nowing som1 how could u now that u grow more weed then me ?? like all fucktards that think there right we will post somthing then in a hurry we will get all technicalon how much weed they grow to shit they make them selves seen this so much on rollitup people are so predictable

wow look out yet another rollitup keyboard warrior and in what science is there in femmed seedsare there u cock head ?? and if u have taken the time to read what people say about them over the net well u would learn a thing or 2 or even spent time with the real world talking with people and there rate of success with them u might learn a thing or 2 and maybe one day when ur a big boy u might just get ur own hydro shop to work in

Last year in a stoned fit of madness, I made hot feminized seeds "bad boy old school". I took a very stable stinkbomb of questionable heritage and gently light stressed her for a few weeks. I bred her back to her self [clone] and boom. Gave away more than a few seeds and neither my compadres nor myself have found any hermies.
Anything I don't like goes into the bird feeder!
