I feel like it is a little more precise, but honestly it’s just something I have on hand that works.Does the q tip distribute the pollen better than a little brush? I may have to switch up my methods.

I lurked before posting but I'm happy to have stumbled onto it.For real. I've learned so much in the last year from this thread. Big ups, everyone.
Anyone want to share their thoughts on chucking with fems?
in theory, I see a lot of folks automatically say no, brings herm tendency out. In reality, when you talk to folks doin it, many are made with regs and fems or fems and fems, and the breeders will say they have done it up to a few generations with no problems. I do realize like the deal with Rado, etc and others, but in those instances I believe its a contract out garden, so to speak, not a personal smaller grow with more control. jmho. You notice you never hear any complaints on Useful gear hermie? Just to name one. And now, on IG, you see many folks buying smaller breeder seeds fem and autos both, and people growin it out and not bitchin, not finding problems. again, jmho, all I got.Anyone want to share their thoughts on chucking with fems?
Hutter's Stash [ formerly Pete's Piece ] [ formerly Copper Dolato ] was made with the IHG fem. Candy Samples [ formerly Copper XXX ] was made with an IHG Triple OG fem. At 58 days, one tester of each are stellar.Anyone want to share their thoughts on chucking with fems?
I'm hitting some Bora Bora with something, just not sure with what yet. Or are you meaning fem pollen from a gal plant?Anyone want to share their thoughts on chucking with fems?
Hitting fems with male pollen?Anyone want to share their thoughts on chucking with fems?
To play devil's advocate on the last one, you get to see how mom expresses herself without outside influence. To some genetics scientists this might have value, for chuckers maybe a waste of time unless you don't have any other plants?Hitting fems with male pollen?
Just fine in my opinion.
Fems crossed to another fem?
I like this way..
S1s?
What's the point,if every seed is not exactly like mom?

Edit: Copper Raspberry [scrapped] used the fem CV, and inherited the problems from that batch. Soma's NYC Diesel was a fem bean used for the NYC Copper. Untested so far, but hope to get some feedback from the freebies being passed out.
Ok. That's the confirmation I was looking for. I've bought a lot of fems recently to look through and if anything stands out I want toss pollen on it.Hitting fems with male pollen?

No. Just thinking of hitting some fems with reg male pollen.I'm hitting some Bora Bora with something, just not sure with what yet. Or are you meaning fem pollen from a gal plant?
I put the pollen in a papper bag then put it over 1 limb at a time till I polenate what I wount seed on just give the bag a shake and your dun and no stray pollen that way.I feel like it is a little more precise, but honestly it’s just something I have on hand that works.
Spray the bag down with water befor you remove it and that kills the pollen left on the bag and leaves.I put the pollen in a papper bag then put it over 1 limb at a time till I polenate what I wount seed on just give the bag a shake and your dun and no stray pollen that way.

I've had good results with all I've made. I've also made a lot of S2's and some S3's. I first used GA3, then bought the tierra's mist and now I make my own colloidal silver. The only thing I questioned was on Critical plus, I made S2's and the next season we had rain for a few days and they didn't seem to be as resistant to bud rot as the previous S1. I had made some f1 hybrids with that same critical mom and they didn't miss a beat in that rain. The fems did great inside though.Iam getting to old to grow male plants to just throw away,my state ky, is not a legal state yet and that's why I like making fem, beans for I can get moor weight with less work,I also have been lucky not one plant has ever hermed on me but I grow outdoors.I Cross fem, beans to fem, beans every year and still no hearms.How has your all fem, beans did that you have made?Just woundering how your alls has did is all.happy growing and I cant wait till spring to get back to growing lots of different strains.Best of luck to all.
You said it all right there!! It has nothing to do with the feminizing process, if a fem seed herms, the mom or pollen donor had that tendency before the feminizing process. If your gonna make fems you need to make sure the parent/parents will not turn. The parents need major stress testing like erratic light schedule, erratic temps,nutes..just any kind of stress you can think of, and it may take a while to find one. But you can believe when you do it want herm on you down the road. Just my opinion, but I truly believe it.I think the problem doesnt lie in fems but people making fems from plants that haven’t been stress tested for herm tendencies.
