Making feminized seeds from 12/12 seed to harvest?

Looking to try my hand at making feminized seeds with colloidal silver spray. A lot of what I've seen is people doing a normal grow style. Was curious if its possible to start the plants at 12/12 and spray it until flower and if it's enough for the plant to pollinate and produce seeds in the given amount of time?

You planning on using clones or seed? If clones it would probably work but I would spray until pollen sacks form. From seed. You could start plants on 12/12 but I would probably start spraying when preflowers first show and continue until pollen sacks form. In my experience, cs tends to cause some damage to the plant over time and it might be too much stress for a young plant. I've also heard but cant confirm that cs degrades in the plant which is the rationale for the treatment frequency so there may not be any benefit starting that early.

CS can be a bit finicky, too little and you won't get pods, too much and you won't get pollen. But if you get pollen sacks that produce pollen, it won't take much to produce a ton of seeds.

It's a waste of time and CS to do that. Photoperiod plants will not flower until they are sexually mature, alternate branching.

You want the male you've chosen sprayed ahead by a week before you flip him, then flowered with some spraying until you flipping the females. I wait until I begin to see the first signs of sex reversal before tossing the females in with him.

You can't use the male you've sprayed for anything other than pollen donation. I've found CS to be unreliable in reversing sex. I use STS. I hope that helps.
