So I've been growing for a bit now. Durring my first grow I came accrosed a beautiful sativa. It has a wonderful fruity strawberry smell and taste as well as being very potent. It is very hearty. Grows fast and big although it's a sativa it seems to have a very mild if not small natural indica trait. It can be grown excellent indoors providing you have the space. It is the dankest weed I have ever smoked or seen. I have taken clones and regenerating the original plant. I saved a male and put in woods. But it is an indica and not a great plant. I don't have anyway of pollinating it. Due the the fact it would lose the traits that make it what it is. How can I make this plant produce seed. With out crossing it with another plant. Also can I clone from clones. I have a huge clone right now it turned into a monster plant from the smallest cutting. Could I take clones for that Or Should I clone from the plant I'm regen then after I clone is there a way to make the clone a hermie or force it to go male. Then collect the pollon. I'm not sure if that will cause the resulting seed to have hermie traits or will produce seeds that are a 50/50 male female ratio or a feminized seed since the pollon would come from a female plant that just produced a few pollon sacks. Not sure I really want to save this exact strain. Not a new cross or anything. What can I do besides cloning. How can I produce seeds with out crossing pollon from another plant of diffrent strain. I want to produce seed from just that one plant. Only this strain.
colloidal silver on one branch to make pollen sacks, remove that branch and use the pollen to seed another branch, voila, free fem seeds of the same bud
I understand why people are in a rush, but the entire point of selective breeding is to do so by selecting the traits you wish to keep/maintain in a plant, then cross it with offspring which show the similar traits, and continuing to do so until you can breed them consistently, or true. (with a few back crosses in there!) Feminizing is such a lazy way of getting around this, IMHO. Even then, you aren't guaranteed to get the same traits in feminized offspring.
