How do you make feminized seeds?

females dont create pollen. I think most fem seeds are from hermied plants...but Im not sure.

pollen from a hermie on a second full fledged female.

Soma did an article on it.

i heard the banana method works really good too

The only way I know for sure is using gibberellic acid. Have a look at http://www.greenmanspage.com/guides/feminized.html

You just mix the Gibberellic Acid with the water when you water, or with water and nutes for hydro/aero right? Then it will grow seeds and they will be fem right?

I bought this gibberellic acid product to feminize plants: http://www.megagro.com/megagro.htm

you can also stress your plant witch makes it produce seeds witch in turn should be female but not total sure you gotta understand when you make female seeds your messin with nature and any movie fan knows when you mess with nature you get caos

How can I get my plants to produce femenized seeds?

There are two methods that I am familiar with; Light-Poisoning, and Gibberellic Acid Treatment, both forcing female plants to produce male flowers and pollinate themselves. I have employed both methods, and both have yielded satisfactory results.

NOTE: YOU MUST START WITH FEMALE SEEDS/CLONES TO ENSURE THAT THERE WILL BE NO MALE CHROMOSOMES PRESENT.


LIGHT-POISONING METHOD: During the first three weeks of flowering, turn the lights on for an hour during the middle of the dark period. That is, 12 hrs. on, 5.5 hrs. off, 1 hr. on, 5.5 hrs. off, and repeat for the first 3 weeks, after which you may return to the normal 12/12 light cycle. This causes a plant to go "hermie" and pollinate itself, as well as any other female in the room. You must use plants originating only from female seeds or clones to ensure that no male chromosomes are present. The resulting seeds will produce NO MALE PLANTS!


GIBBERELLIC ACID TREATMENT: Select your favorite female plant and spray it from approx. two feet away (first under the leaves, then on top). This must be done 2 weeks before the plant is put into the flowering light cycle, thus the need to start with female seeds/clones. DO NOT SMOKE BUD TREATED WITH GIBBERELLIC ACID! Spray the plant again after 2 weeks have passed, and place it under 12/12 lighting. This plant will "hermie" and pollinate itself and other females present. It will not produce as much pollen as a pure male, thus less seeds. However, these seeds will be 100% female.


CONCLUSION:
Now, femenized seeds have also been known to produce hermaphrodites. This is just an evolutionary safety precaution to ensure the survival of the species in the event of environmental catastrophe. All seeds have the potential to hermie. Variables such as pH levels, lighting scenarios, fertilizer problems, etc. will also be factors in the outcome of the plant's sex. Just keep 'em healthy, and give them your tender, loving care, and you should be fine.

i was really wandering if that is correct

tbh, its not that cleaver of a survival tactic if it makes 100 fems

all plants near will be under the same natural conditions all fems = death, epic post though i wanted to know this!

its in the faq

Asexual reproduction is a natural survival tactic. If a plant is able to produce all female seeds.....then those females could do the same thing and the cycle would repeat itself forever.
