There are multiple ways to reverse sex. STS, colloidal silver, gibberellic acid.
STS "silver thiosulfate" is the most reliable method and probably the most used by breeders to create feminized seeds followed by colloidal silver. Both are easy and inexpensive to make. The product you listed is likely just expensive colloidal silver. I say that because they say it's a mineral extract and silver is a mineral. You can make your own colloidal silver using a few 9 volt batteries and a couple pieces of silver. For not much more than what they charge for that femajuana you can by silver nitrate and sodium thiosulfate and make gallons and gallons of solution.
Just by reading the label of that I wouldn't use it. They have you spraying 1 -3 times a day for 10 - 21 days. Who's got time for that? With STS you just spray a couple times and you're done. The $35 a pint they charge is ridiculous. I'd skip it and make your own colloidal silver or STS for a fraction of the cost. Plus you can make all you want. It's pretty simple.

A Guide To Colloidal Silver
I tried unsuccessfully to produce feminized pollen recently on 3 cherry clones each approx. 1ft tall using 50ppm cs sprayed during veg for approx. 10 days at 2-3 times per day over entire plant. continued to spray after flip to flowering until significant male expression was observed on plants ...

How to make Feminized seeds(stolen from another site)
There are two main methods to create your own feminized cannabis seeds: the colloidal silver spray method or using rodelization. Both the colloidal silver method and the rodelization method are described in detail below if you scroll down. For whatever reason, when colloidal silver solution...

Applying Silver Nitrate & Sodium Thiosulfate Mixture for Fem Pollen
This is the mixture I plan to use (first time - feedback welcome) 0.1 grams Silver Nitrate + 100ml H2O 0.5 grams Sodium Thiosulfate + 100ml H2O + 500ml H2O Glass Jar For female pollen sacks- Fem Seeds (do not ingest these chemicals- wear nitrile(?) gloves when applying) My question is this...

Thank you. I am not cheap, but I don't want to keep buying seeds of strains I like , and I don't have room to keep mothers.
Question, to save time and resources, would it be sufficient to veg a plant maybe 2 weeks and then start the process of making seeds?

That would be quite futile. There wouldn't be enough nodes on the plant to develop nearly enough seeds to make that worthwhile. You would end up with 1 or 2 clusters I would imagine (Not that I've tried, just what i'd assume).

Gotcha. I always feel like I back myself into a corner. I buy 1-3 seeds of several strains, grow one, clone it until I'm out of room.

Well I'm cheap when it comes to these cannabis specific products. They are extremely overpriced and the results are not guaranteed. For making pollen yes you can use a small plant but you need to wait until it's more than just two weeks. It has to be mature enough to start flowering when you put it to 12/12.
STS is extremely easy to use, the two chemicals are easily sourced on Amazon, and the results are pretty much guaranteed. You'll also have enough of the chemicals to make more reverses than you'll ever need to as a hobby grower. That product might come in a fancy spray bottle but it's not going to last long spraying 1 - 3 times a day for up to 3 weeks. The plants I posted were each sprayed at most three times and done. If you do decide to use that product please come back to this thread and post your results for others. Good luck.

I'm gonna pass on that stuff. I'm gonna trust your advise. I have 2 clones started off northern lights and blue dream. I guess I will sacrifice them for the greater good. I can see a northern lights x zkittles in the near future if all goes well

I've been using 10ppm but it's too slow and little effect so I'm going to start with a High ppm from clone and dip them the way I was taught in the 70's..... Old boy would flower clones when making bean stock.

I made my own colloidal silver picked up a couple 999.9 pure silver rods on Ebay and a used my 12 volt power supply seems to be working I sprayed half the branches and left other half alone so far its showing fem and male parts on this female plant now waiting to see if it pollinates or not to produce seeds I really like this Critical Kush strain hoping to get a lot of fem seeds produced off this plant going to let it go past term then dry it out.

How long are you going to wait?

Most people say until you see the seeds pods or wait see them fall off plant put something to catch them then you know when to harvest there is a few videos on youtube about it I'm going to try that this is my first attempt.

I'm about to start spraying an autoflower. If I understand this right, by using pollen from the auto I can pollinate another auto and have fem auto seeds, and if I pollinate a photo I will have a % of both?

Correct doesn't matter reg fem or autos just spray once you see pistols appear then also spray when you go to flower until male sacks appear then stop spraying is what I did. I would stay with auto to auto strain or reg fem to reg fem don't try switch genetics I'm not 100% sure though. I have read that its not good to consume it after harvest just collect seeds trash it don't smoke it. maybe someone else that knows more can chime in.......

Perhaps this is an odd/stupid question but in my mind I think it's a good idea. If I make female pollen off of 2 different strains, is it ok to do half a plant with each? I'd probably do like a 2 branch (manifold?) Set up to help keep separation of the strains.
