So I'm starting to look into the breeding side of things for our up coming outdoor season but I dont want to be mucking around with regular seeds. Does anyone here use silver or another method to get females to produce pollen and if anyone pushes their females to the point where they self seed are the seeds mostly female?

I have used CS, look into STS, Silver Thiosulfate Solution can be had and also works, and yes the seed would be female -
Here is my experience with doing the CS conversion. This was the first time I had done a seed breeding.
Don't worry, be happy, grow sticky buds.Comment

Colloidal silver works and is probably the best choice if you're going to do this for the first time. It is readily available and doesn't require any mixing or preparation and is shelf stable for a long time. It doesn't produce as much pollen as STS and requires more hands-on work, or spraying that is. If you really want to get into breeding then definitely STS is better because it requires fewer applications and just makes so much pollen! Both will produce pollen that that will always make feminized seeds.
Also, be careful if you're thinking about doing this, it's addictive!Comment

Ok, that's good to know. I'm only looking to supply myself so colloidal will be my first go to I think. I was watching this clip where they were talking about mixing the STS right and if you don't it won't work.., I'd hate to get to end of it and not get any pollen. How much colloidal silver do you need to convert 1 plant,?
Haha yes I am feeling that already, can't stop running the process through my head and thinking about being able to grow from female seeds that I've helped in creating, also want to have a go at some point pollinating an auto or 2 with a photo and see what I get..
