If you want seeds put a flowering male with a flowering female , or pollinate them yourself. " I did my worst, but I did it well " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VitaminDee Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 It's easier to keep a mother plant and clip clones off it instead of guessing seeds. Vaporizor and FizzyFish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaporizor Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Or produce feminized seeds by stressing females in flower to the point of the throwing male flowers to self pollinate. Any seeds produced by the pollen will be feminized, seeing that the male flower let was produced by female DNA and the pollen, therefore any seeds produced from that will be female. Totally different than hermaphrodites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaporizor Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Usually the only reason people actually pollinate with males is to stabilize or introduce a new phenotype that is desired. Mostly just for breeding purposes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally different than hermaphrodites What is the difference between this and One that goes over to hermaphradite . I had one plant last year that did something and gave seeds. I had weeded out all males Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaporizor Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hermaphroditism is genetics, stressing a plant at the end of its life to produce male flowers is different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly just for breeding purposes mostly to save a crap load of money since seeds are 20.00 and up per seed.I do however make my own kinds to hopefully improve the flower. b4loran and Vaporizor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
