Does anyone here make their own feminised seeds?

Incorrect. colloidal silver does not introduce hermie into genetics and that's 100% a fact. Also, when you pollinate a female plant with it's own pollen you get almost a 100% clone of the mother, so it's actually better because you can guarantee yourself great genetics if that's what you start with. aka create seeds of a "clone only" strain

Colloidal Silver works by being composed of particles so small, that they can easily pass through the plants cells. Once the Colloidal Silver particles are in the plant, they bond to the existing copper molecules. Normal female cannabis plants, use these copper molecules to produce the hormone Ethylene, which is what "tells" them that they are supposed to make normal female flowers (calyxes with pistils). When the Colloidal Silver bonds with the copper molecules, this is inhibited and the plant instead produces pollen sacs.
*Note: These are still female flowers. Just female pollen sacs. Not male flowers.

that is 100% untrue,selfed fems have much variation!i know this through much personal experience

on average 1/15 will be like the parent,strain dependant,maybe closer to 1/10

Cool. Thanks. I don't think I'll ever run out of my silver thiosulphate mix but I'll be sure to pass this along if the situation ever arises!

STS if in one part liquid has a shelf life of 4 months or so.
If you want to keep STS on your shelf and good you need to buy a 2 part powder which consists of sodium thiosulfate and silver nitrate which has a 3 year shelf life.

it has the exact same genes are the mother but yeah it will have the same variation / recessive traits that were present in the original plant. depends on how stable the genetics are. clone was the wrong word

Well.... That's a fact the longer you vegg the more you will yield but its all in that farmers hand to be labeled a good grower its never the seeds fault.. But if your a "good" grower you can pull some weight off a short vegg thats also a fact

I do and don't fully agree with the plants roots being on the plants height maybe bud size/production just because I KNOW I've had a plant stretch over 5 and a half foot in a 35 day vegg and 8 week flower due to light stretch and I had descent buds just not as nuggy and I was in dwc

so reg seeds produce more females than fem seeds is what you are saying?thats logical!lmao

with less herm traits Yes..yer getting it. and..they cost less. Theres that gimmick raisin its head for ya.

oh and cheesebreath? good luck with those 1kilo autos ;)
your dad forgot to tell you that the roots should be that way but for most people..they're not!

ARRRRR (:

yur an idiot!
i have forgotten more about growing than you will ever know....go try to impress a child or something because you dont impress ANYONE here bro

anyways,now that ive swatted that pesky fly away for now......breed all the fems you want bro,they have their place,i personally love fems and they suit a small grower well,no culling of males,less space,nutes,soil,power used
