Collidial Silver Feminized VS. Hermie Seeds

so some friends and i were having a debate and thought lets open this up to the internet since collective knowledge better than bros butting heads:

Feminized seeds are typically created by C. Silver spray and reversing the flower to male to create biased pollen and create feminized seeds....

Hermaphroditic plants can happen for many reasons, but a big factor is simply its (recessive/ dominant) in the genetic code


is the resulting seed quality going to be different?

Some are saying that once the plant is stressed into self reproduction these genes for hermie are more apt to be passed along (procreation ultimate goal of nature) become more in sample numbers and will show up more often,
and even though a sprayed plant may be pursposly manipulated, these self pollinating genes will be passed into more offspring in in effort to continue the life cycle.

the other side say that if the plant was not showing before it would not pass along and that the silver spray hormone change is only temporary and does not affect the genetic code, and also that the seeds of a natural hermi can still have extremely recessive herm traits just as strong as herm traits, genetic lottery if you will


so what do you all think, we are open to any intelligent response


yes we know no one would want either- but is there difference in offspring traits?

(LOL...this topic came up while watching Jurassic Park during a session....did anyone notice/remember they were supposedly feminized dinosaurs via lab genetic manipulation but life somehow found a way to birth a male and that's how the Raptor problem started??? kinda like weed right? lol)

G`day Vb

If it has been stress tested and didn`t herm , then that is a candidate for femming with silver .
If it did . Forget about femming .

i think you answered your own question
your description is the current 'orthodox' view for making feminized seed that will not show intersex trait
i do, however, see dissenters out there
and a few breeders still do rodelization, i.e. late appearing male flowers
i expect techniques will continue to advance

Before they used spraying cs and sts they used to cause true females to herm by keeping them flowering for way past their finish so you can create true fem seeds by causing females to herm and throw pollen that wont "cause the offspring to be more likely to herm" because it was a true female. Stressing a herm plant to herm and throw pollen yes the offspring would have that trait but if you have tested a female with stress testing and its a true female it dosent matter how you make it pop bananas, stress from light in the night, flowering them too long or spraying they will make normal stable fem seeds if you are using true fems.

G`day ig

I think the rodelisation is not as simple as letting the plant senese .
Roots are pruned as well ...

Thanks for sharin

thank guys, that makes perfect sense

looks like ill be tossing these beans...a very promising Chem from a single bagseed, very triched out, hermied like 10 different pollen sacks...it is a big yielder and very very frosted, great smell....but burst nanners and seeds on lower base of some nugs

i may hold the beans but wont be planting anytime soon

here's a little shot of a nug from that Chem
