Can I breed a feminized female with herself using colloidal silver?

Hey guys. I am searching for a way to multiply feminized seeds.

I have some strains I like and I want lots of seeds from that strain. There is only feminized available to buy.
If I use colloidal silver on a feminized plant, on one bud, so that it starts making pollen sacs, and then pollenize the other buds with the pollen, will the seeds be exact female clones of the mother, or will they be hermaphrodites?
Or should i use colloidal silver on an entire plant, and pollinate another plant of the same strains?

Or is it better with ethylene? Didn't really find anything substantial about ethylene feminized seeds.

Is anything of these possible or are there other ways to do this?

No, seeds from selfing are not clones. If the the selfed plant has recessive genes for intersex expression without stress then you could get "hermies."

Gregor Mendel worked this out 150+ years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendelian_inheritance

Ethylene suppresses male flowers. Silver blocks the production of ethylene leading to male flowers. The pros use silver thiosulfate.

i find it easier to get my pollen from one plant, then pollinate the next plant of that strain that i grow. then i have a good supply of feminized seeds, and can pick the better ones to use as donors the next time around.
this is a branch i used CS on, from a LemonCake. i have a clone of the same plant going. once this starts to pop, i'll collect the pollen, put it in a container with a few dessicant beads, and use it when the clone is ready. i'm doing this with all the strains i'm running, when i get a few hundred feminized seeds of each strain, then it's time to start mixing and matching

Ok. So I shouls use silver thiosulfate over colloidal silver right?

So what you saying is that there is a little chance that they will be hermies anyway, if they have intersex expression recessive genes.

I've learned the Mendelian and non mendelian inheritance in biology.

And which is better selfing or breeding with another female of the same strain?

I don't think one is better they are different. If you can only get one geno of the pheno you're after then self it. If you have two you like and want to work further then cross them. Selfing will lock down traits fast but it might lock down undesirable ones. This is where experience and some luck comes in. If you have the space try both! Nobody can say how your crosses will come out, that's part of the fun.
