(FIRST) Say you have a single seed that's left of your favorite shit. You start the process and you now have a new single plant ( let's say, after the seedling stage is completed within four to six weeks, having four to six internodes) Lighting is still always kept on for 16 to 18 hours.

(SECOND) You now take two or three cuttings for clones. Lighting is still the same.
Now you wait till the clones grow to a descent height, then switch lighting (12/12) for them to start the flowering stage. Meanwhile you would be spraying the clones with Colloidal Silver solution to produce and collect pollen to use on the original plant that the clones came from.

( Here's my question ) I guess the original plant is what you all call the Mother plant (?) So the Mother plant continues to grow on the 18/6 lighting schedule - Will I be able to have the time to be able to grow the clones to the point of pollen sacks ready and ripe to use and keep the Mother plant in limbo flowering stage till one has collected pollen from the clones, then switch lighting to 12/12 for her to start to flower....or will she just start on her own showing pre-flowers regardless of switching the time of light if kept too long on 18/6 ? I am hoping, but I think it may not be possible, to pollinate her not too late into flowering where it may become past the dead line point......?.....

Plus, I understand that Hermaphrodite plants can occur through stress (sometimes) from starting early flowering or that has been left to flower for too long.
So what if you are depriving the plant of light to force it not to begin its flowering, will this also cause a Hermie.

Some of you may reply back with: Why are you messing with producing seeds, why not just buy seeds, and so on.....Simple, it's not easy to get seeds where I live and even harder by mail. So if you have any input on this subject matter, please feel free to write back. Thank you very much for any positive or negative feed back. :weed:

Hey , good seeing you back on.... haven't heard from you in a while. Making seeds if fun and easy. Sorry but I can't help you on you question since you only have one seed left of that strain you like. If you had several, it wouldn't be a problem. Good luck and I am sure that they're will be members here that will be able to help you. See ya around

Generally at 6 nodes the branches will not be developed enough for clones.
If I was going to try and pull off what you're talking about, I'd grow the seed to 6 just starting the 7th node. Top leaving the bottom 3 nodes, it will now start to build side branches. Take the topping and clone it. It will take at least 4wks for the clone to be kicking and ready for CS. Continue vegging the seed girl you may have to top again depending upon your grow room size. Start CS 1 wk prior to 12/12; Flip both at the same time.
Prior to flipping you can take a couple of good clones from the ends the bottom node branches, in case it doesn't work the first time.

Thanks Man. Let me ask, do males nature quicker than the female plants? Because if I can flip to 12/12 at the same time, that would really make things a whole lot easier.

Will a plant eventually go into pre-flowering if left too long in veg? Because I real like the idea about taking a few extra clones in case all fails. :confused:

Yes males mature much faster in nature. I've tried this twice (with 2 clones started at the same time) and thought that it would be best to flip the CS plant a wk before the seed maker. But worst case with flipping at the same time is you might have to extend your flower time by a wk or so to ensure seed maturation.
