In which the prodigy will be naturalized fem seed correct?
I think your asking..if the plant did throw pollen sacks and self pollinated, would that produce fem seeds?

If so... I have always been under the impression that the results are +-50/50 female/hermaphroditic. I find alot of conflicted "opinions" out there on that subject, and am ignorant myself.

If not... can you please explain the question a little.

Yes, but it will slow down your grow as a whole. There's a delay in growth when transitioning back to veg. You can expect a weeks delay on average, but sometimes up to a month depending on how sensitive your cultivar is.

One more consideration is the added stress and the plant throwing pollen sacks as a result.

By no means am I trying to convey it's a bad practice and have found it to be a valuable tool in the past when space was valuable. Just wanted to throw out there it does come with some risk, especially with the more finicky cultivars.
I ended up doing it on one plant. Kind of interested in what happens. I have reversed plants before and they get funky for awhile. So you are spot on S&S.

In the past I've had 9 out of 10 plants that went unfazed except for a small delay, but there's always that one that just hates the process.

I say as long as the jars are full and we have the means, let's learn.

Nope that was the question, I always heard it was the best way to make fems, I don't really know that's why I threw it out there.

I've been down that rabbit hole on several occasions and still have yet to find an answer that had any scientific backing.

I keep coming back to..what's the difference between creating pollen sacs from colloidal silver and any other induced stress.

My theory is something along these lines. It comes down to the original mother and how sensitive she is to becoming hermaphroditic. You need to find a cultivar that can withstand  Alot of stress from environmental conditions without throwing sacks and then use the colloidal silver. If you have a weak mother in those regards then you can expect her offspring to be aswell.

Anyone can make fem seeds, but not everyone makes fem seeds that are less prone to becoming hermaphroditic. 🤔

Again, just my opinions and theories. I am ignorant and don't claim to know the entirety of the science.

I'm excitedly awaiting Mrs S&S's arrival so we can take the stupid cone off of the kitties head. She's going to be wild(the cat, not Leah. It's Friday and she will be exhausted from a weeks worth of calculus and teenagers. She will walk in the house, eat a gummy, disappear for an hour upstairs, and then come down and do a face plant on the couch).
