Getting seeds from last plant for storage

I have a some plants that i just pulled and also took clones from all four and now i have two clones from a very nice plant. I want to use collodial silver to induce self pollination so i can store the seed. What negative effect will there be on my seed? I don't mind germinating a bunch of seeds when i want to grow them again and can go through and pick the best ones so i feel that i could get back to a plant thats close to what i started with. Am i on the right track here?

Also, I have a large cabinet that i want to put in my closet to finish this plant out once it starts to flower(i have other plants in my big cabinet i dont want fertilized) and it will be pretty basic with a lot less lighting. Will the plant finish ok in less lighting?

Colloidal silver = no negative effect on seeds but .... good luck figuring out how to do that. How are you going to know if it works??? you are going to have to grow a whole bunch of seeds just in case it doesn't right? Even commercial fem seeds sometimes grow up male.

If I were you I would just buy fem seeds from Dinafem (the ones I got exploded out of the ground - they are really good).

You are talking about setting up a special room just for seed flowers right?

Hell yes it will finish okay (with seeds) as long as you use enough light (and everything else is okay) - the hard thing to do is to get them to finish okay without seeds.

If I were you I'd just let one plant fertilyze for seeds then mist it down with water - water neutralizes weed pollen - and stick it in with the others.

I got it figured out. Just got an old sativa from my dads stash from the 70's and want to get some seed from this great plant with monster head high. I got it all covered now. Thanks though.

fem seeds can never be male. using collodial silver to make fem seeds isnt hard at all and is genetically stable so you should not get hermies at all, with some other methods of making fem seeds their is also a chance they could be genetic hermies too but regular seeds also carry that possibility.
heres some info on collodial silver method

Colloidal Silver Spray:

You can use Colloidal Silver Spray to make Feminized Cannabis Seeds the way seed banks do.
-You'll be able to produce seeds consistently and control the amount of seeds produced.
-Fairly easy method to produce 100s of seeds if needed.

You can buy the spray
buy the spray
, or buy a spray generator
spray generator
, or make the spray yourself.
Also VERY IMPORTANT: It is not safe to use/consume cannabis that has come into contact with the spray.
That means you WILL NOT be able to smoke that plant!
HOWEVER, the seeds the plant produces are 100% SAFE!

Thoroughly mist a female cannabis plant with colloidal silver every day for 10-14 days around the same time that she enters the flowering stage (when your first change the lights to 12-12).
The concentration of silver ions in the water will actually force the plant to create male pollen sacs instead of female buds.
The safest way to ensure that your plants will actually turn into males is to keep misting the plants until you see the beginning of male pollen sacs forming.

You will be able to tell when they are about to open because the leaf section protecting the pollen starts to crack. Simply take the pollen sacs off and place them in a cool dry place for a week and let them start to dry.
The pollen will come out if you shake them about a little, or you can also cut open the sacs to get to the pollen inside.
Use this pollen to pollinate female plants and you will get all-female seeds.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN COLLOIDAL SILVER:

You will need:
-9 volt battery
-9v Battery Connector (less than $2 at a hardware or electronics store)
-Pure .9999 or 999 Silver (yes it must be pure)
-Distilled water (yes it must be distilled)
-Alligator clips (Optional: but will make things much easier)
-Soldering Iron (Optional: only needed if you want to use alligator clips)

What ppm do you recommend if you you start with 000ppm water? I'll have to look back at the documentation and find it but i think it was about 90 or so?
