okay, another n00b-tastic question... i've been reading up on making seeds and all that and it seems the best way is to get one male, one female (unless going for fem seeds.) but, say you only have the means to grow one or two plants. you have one that's ready to go to flower and you like how it's growing, it's from reasonably good genetics and it's the ONLY plant you have, no other seeds. is it reasonable to assume that if you take a cutting, grow it up until it's ready to veg and then make it go hermi (either with that sodium thiosulfate solution tech or just stressing it out somehow) is it safe to use the pollen from this one to pollinate the already established "mother" it came from? i understand that this could very well be how to make fem seeds but what about the genetics? is this sort of thing a good/bad/neutral thing for the strain's genetics? asking this since i haven't found the answer yet. yes, i searched here... it is a fairly specific question so that's why i think it hasn't been addressed specifically yet. so, tl:dr. take clone from mother, make clone hermi, pollinate mother with (now hermi) clone... safe? good/bad for genetics? bad idea all around? (if so, why?)
High likelihood those seeds will be mutated or damaged somehow, they will grow out but could have abnormalities and if not good chance they will hermie. Stressing a female to make outwardly male flowers is one of the main techniques for creating feminized seeds, it's tricky to do it right.
