How to make feminized seeds

[N00b_Farmer]

Since seeds are so damn expensive, I don't wanna have to buy them every time I start a new grow. Also, a perpetual grow (taking clones and such) is not a viable option since I don't have the space. I have read a few articles on using colloidal silver, but I'm not sure if there is a better way to produce lots of FEMINIZED seeds.

Any tips???

Aspirin water is allegedly supposed to cause a plant to herm but I've never personally tried it. You could also just reveg instead of taking the breeding route as a different option.

I thought about hermy-ing a plant, but that would hermie the entire plant. I would like to only pollinate a few sites, and harvest from the rest.

That's what I figured, not sure of any other methods other than colloidal silver that will do what you want. Possibly foliar feeding whichever site with the aspirin water might only herm that branch since only those leaves of that site would be absorbing the salicylic acid from the aspirin. You could also just take one clone and once you get it rooted herm that to get some pollen. Really just trying to throw ideas out at you that might work best for you

Recently for an experiment I started an auto flower and sprayed the shit out of it with c silver pretty much it's whole life and then well after the plant should have died, if was still alive and then before it's death it produced pollen.

I grew this on my window still in my bedroom, in winter lol and got my arse kicked by my wife as she gets hayfever, that's when I knew it was producing pollen, as her eyes swelled up.

I didn't end up collecting the pollen as I just needed to get rid of it. I didn't want it anywhere near my flower room so I just binned it. But the moral of the story is - it is possible to do it.


I guess the experiment was positive.

Have you ever consider a space just for a mother? It wouldn't require nearly the same amount of space or equipment as a complete perpetual. Something simple such as a 2'x2' tent with a t5 fixture and a small fan. It would not be a perpetual but then you would never have to deal with the inconvenience of trying to harvest seeds off a plant that you also wish to harvest female flowers. Also, it would eliminate the possibility of seeds that don't germ and having to deal with young leggy seedling that take a while to build stalks and grow real leaves. I know you said you're limited on space, but I hope the suggestion isn't completely useless. Good luck!

Colliodial silver would be your best bet if you want femmed seeds. Lots of articles on how to do it. There are other sprays available as well, just google it.
