Can you breed a clone

1) order colloidal silver (amazon) or make your own
2) 50 ppm should do it
3) spray Caitlyn's selected buds...daily...eventually she'll change her name to Bruce..might take up to a month
4) Make sure the girl who is marked to receive the pollen has identical clone sisters in flower at varying times, so there will always be a receptive girl available. If you don't do this, by the time Caitlyn turns to Bruce, the original female targeted for pollen could have passed her optimum time to receive a load from Bruce.
5) donate some seeds to a friend
Tips
- Don't store your colloidal silver in a lighted place as some people say it degrades it.
- Anecdotal info. The "turned" male doesn't seem to produce as much pollen as a genetic
male so prioritize the pollen you do get onto the girls you most want to pollinate first.
Enjoy.

Thank u! Much appreciated!

I'd make one amendment to my previous post. Some girls resist turning boy longer than others and can take longer than a month...patience and having the right girl ready, willing and waiting to receive the pollen is critical.

This is where I am now. Enrire plant is now male, growing happily, but even with many flowers opening, there's no visible pollen. I've always had straight males, not hermies. So I'm not even sure when it'll be prime time for breeding. Any advice? This is my first time with the colloidal silver process.

You are dangerously close to success.
Get a small plastic container, and take a couple of the best looking "male" flowers (the ones you made from the colloidal girl) and gently crush them to get them to open.
Any yellow dust that appears in your container, dip a q-tip or small paint brush into and brush it onto the female bud you want to pollinate. Mark the pollinated bud branch with a twist tie and record the date, what the strains were, etc. If the pollen took, in a day or so, you'll notice the white pistils have turned brown and she's knocked up. I'd wait at least 30 days, before plucking the seeds. Sometimes a little longer isn't a bad idea to ensure they are well developed.
Often a colloidal silver "male" produces less pollen than a natural girl, so you're not likely to see clouds of pollen like you would if it was a natural male. Some strains are more stubborn. I recently observed two Mk Ultras go full tranny with a decent amount of pollen, and another, an Iranian Cross, produced very little pollen under identical conditions...but it did FINALLY produce some.
If you started with a girl and she's got balls now you're very close to success. Don't try to squeeze the flower too soon though. If no pollen yet, let some swell to the point where they are opening themselves, there should be some pollen then. Good luck.

Thank you. This is where s/he is now. It can be so hard to believe that you can actually turn a female into a full blown male (not just the little "nanner" appearances) until you see it for yourself!
The lack of visible pollen at this stage gave me concern, which is why I logged in to RIU last night in the first place.

To the OP:
This is one plant. A clone from my White Widow mother, the bottom branches sprayed with colloidal silver. Now it's a shemale! Male flowers below, female above.
So yes, you CAN get seeds from a clone. You'd have to pollinate another clone from the same mother in order to have the same genetics. It'll just take a few steps... turn a clone from female to male, then pollinate another clone that you put into flower a couple/few weeks after the first one.
BTW, go to eBay to purchase. I got the (1 oz.) name brand at my local hydroponics shop for $30, and the (3.4 oz.) generic one for $20. DO THE MATH! I used the generic one on the plant pictured in my previous post, so yes, IT WORKS.
