stressing my female?

i was told it was possible to stress my female during budding to produce seeds...is that true and if so will they produce good ones to use???

Lots of pros and cons doing this. You certainly run the risk of introducing the hermie issue into the equation. Best advice I can give you is to try it for yourself. I wouldn't do this with something that I wanted or counted on for my personal smoke but maybe a small clone from the plant you are wanting to do this with. Let it go a couple of weeks into flower and if possible give it a light leak to stress it. There are probably better ways to do this but this came to mind quickly and seems sound and pausible. Good Luck and Happy Growing

The true way to do this is to stress one female, collect that pollen, and then use it on an identical, healthy female. Then you have feminized seeds. The way you're suggesting will pass on those stress traits to your seeds, and you'll most likely have ALL herms with those beans.

The way you stress a healthy female is with sodium nitrate via foliar feeding.

I think that you may mean Silver Nitrate as sodium nitrate is generally regarded as a fertilizer and foliar feeding with it would not sex reverse the plants.

You can also use Colloidal Silver which you can make yourself for very little money.
