Self pollinated seed genetics ? Colloidal silver

[Dracoz]

I had this nice gorilla glue auto that I sprayed with colloidal silver and got some nice pollen and genetics off, I left it and it flowered and seeded it's self just wondering what the seeds will be like if they will herm out and not be viable or have nice genetics from the one plant
can clearly see the male and female characteristics and seeds starting to form

 

[Hugo Phurst]

Seeds should be viable - but - chances are you'll get a high % of herm seeds.

Good luck

Ideally you take the pollen and use it on an unrelated strain. Unless you really have time to test and breed out bad traits.

 

[BigJonster]

This is how you make S1 seeds. It will NOT increase the chance of herm

 

[MannyPacs]

CS does not increase herms and people make s1s of things they like all the time. They will be fem, I don't do auto so I'm not sure how all that works

Why?

 

[Spindle818]

There might be herms because gg has a high chance of herm, but not because you selfed it

 

[crimsonecho]

no way jose. selfing doesnt increase herm rates because you induce the male organs by chemically blocking the production of female hormones.

i think silver binds with copper which is needed to produce ethylene but no 100% on that. still its a chemical effect and it doesnt change the genetic composition of the plant.

My understanding of "selfing" is that you'll get better results and more mature seeds if you start the reversal plant in flower first, then use the pollen on a clone of the same plant that's like 2 or 3 weeks behind the reversed plant in flower.

Open-pollinating itself the way you're doing also works, but may result in more immature seeds than fully mature ones. Agreed with Spindle, GG itself is herm prone & the work you're doing probably won't have any effect on that.

Thanks for all the replies I'll try them as S1s and see how stable they are

 

[Traxx187]

Can you s1 an s1? Lol

 

[Dracoz]

Can you s1 an s1? Lol

Yes apparently

 

[Spindle818]

I think that would be an s2

 

[Traxx187]

since im going to try and see if my old stock of sherb breath cracks would the best thing to do since its outside just spray the whole plant? since im not gonna be using the plant i just want seed stock...

and when do you spray the first time? do you spray it as soon as you see hairs? or way before ?

 

[Spindle818]

2 weeks before flowering and you want to spray the nodes not the leaves

thanks ill search more up maybe this forum has more info

Seed Making made easy - Selfing a plant

This thread was created for those wanting to breed their own seeds ..... This is one method to get seeds from a strong female plant .... Although one could just take clones , this method will work on regulars and autoflowers , when cloning cannot be done. By SELFING a female plant , you will be...
