Hi all. I want to try producing more seeds of a strain I have by reversing one of my females grown from feminized seeds. I will be using STS. I know I can collect pollen from this reversed female and pollinate other females with it. But my question is, will the plant I'm reversing also produce feminized seeds?

yes
Thanks, I figured as much but everything I read only talks about using the pollen on other plants.
So this is my Purple Afghan Kush female I treated with STS spray every 3rd day beginning on 11/8 with the last treatment done on the 23rd - so a total of 6 treatments. This is what I'm seeing. Looks to me I have male pollen sacs forming. Do you all concur?

Female Pollen XX
Male Pollen is XY
Pollen from a female cannot produce males because it does not have the Y chromosome.
If you find a “random” seed in a nug and the flowering female wasn’t near males it was made from XX and will be feminine.

When the bananas in the those male flowers pop they will drop pollen on the female flowers of the plant IF ANY LEFT. So if you managed to turn it male entirely and no female flowers (white hairs/pistils to catch the pollen), that plant won't produce seeds. You need to collect the pollen from the male flowers and drop it on a few specific female buds.
OK, thanks. I was looking for pistels but didn't see too many yet. I'll keep an eye on it. Good thing I treated 2 females with STS. On or around the 4th treatment of STS spray I had 1 female crash hard, withered right up and died, but that didn't happen to this one. Hopefully I can end up with some seeds from her.
