    Thoughts on making feminized seeds?

    I acquired some clones this year and I'd like to preserve the genetics, but I can only grow outside during summer. I'd like to create my own feminized seeds of my four strains - Kush, Blueberry, Cheese and Lemon.
    I'm not able to move the plants so I'm trying to come up with a plan.

    I'm thinking of spraying a bud site on each plant with ionized colloidal silver to create pollen sacs, and monitor their development. Before they burst, I plan to remove the branch to harvest the pollen inside the house, then pollinate a couple buds on each plant.

    Does anybody with any experience doing this see any points of failure here? Also, how many seeds can I expect from each bud site I pollinate?

    It is not recommended to smoke ANY part of a plant once it has been sparyed with Cs. I'd recommend looking at keeping Bonsai mothers over winter, then cut some clones for seeds/next year's grow.
    You're killing me Smalls!

      I have done this process many times,
      if u plant to make ur own colonial silver you will need minimum 12volts I use a battery charger
      99% silver. I use silver rods because using .25cent quarters also has other elements not just pure silver so it's hard to get an accurate 50ppm of silver.
      From week 1-6 of flower u will need to spray the bud site 2times a day at around week 3 they will produce pollen sacks and around week 6-7 the pollen sacks will start to open. Sativas take around 8-9weeks to open. This will be yellow powder.
      Now this will produce pure female pollen

      Pollinate a female the 1st week of flower or your seeds will not be mature come harvest in 8-10weeks. You can tell that the bud site has been pollated because the hairs will start turning color. If your crossing an auto with a fem and u want the seeds to be auto u'll have to double cross it with an auto or the 1st batch may only be 50/50 fem/auto

        Also when making the solution distiled water only!!!!! Once u charge the silver in the water it takes 24hours with 12volts to get 50ppm

          A tip would be to not use the pollen on the mother it came from, so sex change one and use the pollen on another. Doing 1 plant and using the pollen on it can increase the chance of hermies.
          A local shop has a hermie spray, a natural mineral but they cant tell me what it is or if it is safe,,, as said dont smoke the plant, further dont use anything but the pollen/seed from a plant sprayed with CS, not the pot, soil or anything else that touched CS.
          Good luck!
