make your own auto seeds?

just wondered if anyone has successfully made their own auto seeds, and what techniques you used. pollenation from a male? did you make feminized seed by hermaphroditing a female? whats the best easiest way? i just got my auto seeds after a month and a half of waiting and cutting through green tape. first time i ever ordered and kinda was a trying experience. not sure i wanna go through it again. now that i got good seed, id like to get a supply of femmed seed from one of my autos... prolly my NL from nirvana seeds. maybe also my auto cherry bomb from bomb seeds. any suggestions?

colloidal silver bud. i am making seeds of dinafem ww autro. works good

ill google that here in a bit. some guy on a video mentioned that. but mentioned use of electrical current. im not gonna mess with no lectricity lol. id zap myself for sure.

this is simple i use silver wire from ebay

or like polo comment buy allready made cs

right on i read about the cs spray. pretty cool. now, one you get the female to change to male, it doesnt matter what plant you pollenate? the seeds will always be females?

This is an Afghan Kush Ryder I seeded. Check it out. Pretty damn simple.

i lookeid at those... nice. heres a question... i have a photo period clone from a female plant, it may be growing balls. would this pollen produce feminized seed since it was a clone and is possibly herming? and although they are autos could i pollenate one of my NL and would the seed still be autoflowering? i read that autoflowers were created by crossing a male ruderalis with female photo period. sing my pollenation is opposite woild this lessen the auto genetics? any help is apreciated.

you would have to do some selective breeding for it to be auto
usually the first round you wont find the auto trait if you do its a fluke pretty much .....
and yes if the plant hermi'd ( natural / genetic hermi not one forced ) and you used it to pollinate something the seeds would be fem ........ or hermi

you would have to breed it out ( 3-5 times ) if you wanted a auto
on a large scale popping 50 beans or so at a time

thanx. i doubt it would make hermie seeds. yesterday i read that plant that are hermied from stress will produce fem seeds. but a natural hermied plant would likely produce hermie seeds. think i read that on grasscity. i also read that autos will produce male flowers if thay are allowed to fully develop, will pollenate itself and make fem seeds. if any of that is incorrect, please let me know. thanx

sounds like they went through alot just to make autoflowers. pretty amazing.

yes BUT...... you are breeding a plant that is easily stressed to herm even if its not a hermi from the go you are still possibly and likely to pass the " easily hermi'd trait " down the line

break a branch it pops nuts , over feed it pops nuts , rough transplant it pops nut's
kinda not what your looking for in a plant

this plant was most stressed by being a clone. not sure if that's what did it. the stem was very purple after being cloned. im not even sure yet that it hermed hermie. it hasnt started flowering yet. but there are growths on there that may be male preflowers. i try looking at pics but they arent clear enuff on my phone. the growths im talking about look like little spikes where the nodes meet. some look a tad different. im waiting to see if hairs emerge or what. i am new to growing. ive grown a couple veglings. but never got to the flowering yet. if i see hairs i know its a fem or at least a hermie. i guess im just a tad inexperienced. ill keep watching close tho. i dont want pollen everywhere even if it will produce fem seeds.

the spikes at the nodes are normal
its the nuts youre looking for when its a male

last 2 pics i posted are male flowers

IF you are using auto pollen to pollinate an auto, all the seeds will be auto the first time. Especially if you self pollinate an autoflowering plant.

You should spray the plant with CS until you see fully developed pollen sacs, and then collect the pollen from those. If the plant is reversed (cs used on a female to get pollen) then all the seeds will also be female since the pollen only carries the x chromosome. When paired with the x chromosome of a female calyx, you get xx (a female).


It isn't a hermie. It is just a female plant making female pollen sacs instead of normal female flowers. This happens due to ethylene (hormone that tells the plant to make calyxes and not pollen sacs) inhibition from the CS spray.

well, three of my autos are ready to rise from the top of the soil. thats 3 outta six. actually seven if you include the diamond girl photo that didnt pop. im just happy i got three outta six autos. seeds looked damaged. didnt think they would pop.
so i got two northern lights and one auto cherry bomb.
do i need to start spraying cs on the one i want to seed, right away or wait till its got female flowers? wouldnt do me no good to try to self pollenate one if it dont have both parts lol. three weeks till flowers. thats about when i can get the cs spray. is that too late?

some time between when it shows sex ( preflower ) and actual flower ( when the plant has stopped stretching vertically ) is when you apply the CS
i usually do it around preflower you wont notice a change usually until after flower has started
