How can I get my plants to produce femenized seeds?

There are two methods that I am familiar with; Light-Poisoning, and Gibberellic Acid Treatment, both forcing female plants to produce male flowers and pollinate themselves. I have employed both methods, and both have yielded satisfactory results.

NOTE: YOU MUST START WITH FEMALE SEEDS/CLONES TO ENSURE THAT THERE WILL BE NO MALE CHROMOSOMES PRESENT.

LIGHT-POISONING METHOD: During the first three weeks of flowering, turn the lights on for an hour during the middle of the dark period. That is, 12 hrs. on, 5.5 hrs. off, 1 hr. on, 5.5 hrs. off, and repeat for the first 3 weeks, after which you may return to the normal 12/12 light cycle. This causes a plant to go "hermie" and pollinate itself, as well as any other female in the room. You must use plants originating only from female seeds or clones to ensure that no male chromosomes are present. The resulting seeds will produce NO MALE PLANTS!


GIBBERELLIC ACID TREATMENT: Select your favorite female plant and spray it from approx. two feet away (first under the leaves, then on top). This must be done 2 weeks before the plant is put into the flowering light cycle, thus the need to start with female seeds/clones. DO NOT SMOKE BUD TREATED WITH GIBBERELLIC ACID! Spray the plant again after 2 weeks have passed, and place it under 12/12 lighting. This plant will "hermie" and pollinate itself and other females present. It will not produce as much pollen as a pure male, thus less seeds. However, these seeds will be 100% female.


CONCLUSION:
Now, femenized seeds have also been known to produce hermaphrodites. This is just an evolutionary safety precaution to ensure the survival of the species in the event of environmental catastrophe. All seeds have the potential to hermie. Variables such as pH levels, lighting scenarios, fertilizer problems, etc. will also be factors in the outcome of the plant's sex. Just keep 'em healthy, and give them your tender, loving care, and you should be fine.

does the plant need to be pollinated or does this stress the plant and cause it to seed

another way i think this is the best. Got this from somewhere else but totally forgot who wrote it. Enjoy.

Haven't tried it yet but it seems logical.

Dontknow, read that wonderfully informational post by the enchanting Mogie again; just look a little more carefully. If you're talking about forced feminization through light stress, it will take care of itself. There is no need to manually pollenate the buds. If you want to ensure a ton of seeds, this can be done, but for ease, I'd suggest just letting the plant do it. The light poisioning induces a hermaphroditic reaction in the plant. All this means is that the plant produces pollen sacks, which, because the plant is already a determined female, will contain no male chromosomes. It pollenates itself. So yes, pollenation is necessary, but it's not necessary for YOU to pollenate the plant. The method tricks the plant into "thinking" the climate is topsy turvy, and thus it takes steps to ensure that the species survives. Cannabis is really one of the most amazing plants found in nature.

so light poisoning works mogie? have to try this one gibberellic acid seems me still to risky even if it is listed at PAN Pesticides Database as quiet harmless...

Mogie, correct me if im wrong but.
Isnt it a fact that people stated that, if you force your plants to become hermie and produce female seeds that yes they will be female when planted but will have similar traits as the mother so it will become hermie also , and its kids and its kids. Ive read this alot on here.

First off Yes you are 100% Correct. But this doesn't mean that it will turn hermie. It picks up the trait that if light poisoned again it will turn hermie faster then the parent. So if you can keep it at optimal condition then it will stay femenize. Plus the light poisoning thing is really harsh, that means your doing your whole crop. I rather do the Rodelization method, then you can pollinate what you want, who the hell wants a crop full of seeds.

now i am about to buy 3 packs of seeds to hopefully last me a long time and im gonna pollinate them to make more seeds. so in my best interest would it be better to get feminized seeds and do the light poisoning then to get regular and let a male pollinate. im thinking of getting white widow, northern lights and maybe great white shark or big bang by greenhouse

You can't, so forget it and don't waste your time. All you'll manage to do is produce more hermaphrodites.

The first step in producing feminised seeds is to find a 100% stable female plant that doesn't have any hermaphroditic traits, found that plant yet?

Ever wondered why feminised seeds are so expensive? So much breeding involved, you think you can do that with your limited knowledge?
