As the title states...

Seeing as you can buy female seeds, how can you make sure they are all female if you wish to produce the seeds yourself?

cause i'm like this>>>:wall:

I heard you have to stress out a female and force her to hermaphrodite. Then use that pollen on a different healthy female, forcing her to seed all female seeds....Dont quote me on this I never tried it, Its just what I was told.

I heard you can put the seeds in a bag with a banana peel, or apple. The rotting fruit gives off ethylene gas and aparently changes seeds with male sex genes, to female. I guess at that young stage the difference between male and female is small. I've read articles on here where people have put seeds in bags with banana peel 2 weeks before germinating and have resulted in 100% females. Or like mentioned above, stress the plant to hermie and self pollinate. I was curious about this a while back as well (purely from a biologist/science point of view), and from what i read, it seemed like spraying colloidal silver on the plants was the safest, most effective method. There'r many ways to stress a plant to hermie, like using toxic chemicals like giberillic acid or light stress, but colloidal silver is said to work. Also, colloidal silver is safe to ingest, and is sold in health food stores as an immune boost supplement (my dad has some in his vitamin cabinet that he takes when he thinks he's getting sick, so its very safe). Do some reading on C.S. effects on mj and find out more accurately than listening to me. Also the people that used it, sprayed lower branches of plants every day for the first 2 or 3 weeks of flowering. Or just wait 2 weeks for seeds to sit in a bag with rotting banana peel. Read up on that too and decide for yourself which seems best

Lol no that wont work :-o the way they do it is with hermie plants but forcing a female to heraphoditism is tough

If your worried bout tracing seed orders back to you dont worry first of all in the UK its legal cause they are considered 'souvenirs"
but you can also pay be bank transfer which is what I always do here in the US or you can pay with cash or money order through the mail.

I concur.. easiest way is to stress to hermie, then pollenate with that. A buddy of mine accidentally had a harmie.. didn't know it.. pollinated his whole tent and now, he's got hundreds of feminised seeds! Of course.. understand that once made from hermie, that hermie gene is stronger and could happen again and again and again, etc..

I heard if you turn the lighting off for 1-2 hours, then back on for an hour, off for another hour and then going back to normal light cycle once or twice a week would increase the chances of females, but I don't know how much truth there is in that, I'm testing it now.

Genetics don't work that way. Your children won't be any stronger if you work out all day because that's determined by DNA which never changes.

That sounds like a great way to produce a bunch of hermies.
