Hi, weedman! I'm a total beginner at this, but here's my understanding (and please, anyone, jump in and correct me so I'll learn):

Cannabis normally has two sexes -- the males produce pollen and the females produce seed. Because the females also produce tons of THC bearing flowers, they're the ones we want to harvest. In the old days (heh heh heh) the weed we bought usually had seeds in it, although it's long been recognized that the best, most potent buds are unfertilized and seedless.

Feminized cannabis seeds, as sold by seed banks, usually produce about 99% female plants, and save growers a lot of time and space and energy growing out the plants to the point you can sex them. To get them you need to make sure that both the pollen and the flowers come from female plants. Because colloidal silver interrupts the hormones of the developing flower on a female, she will develop pollen sacs instead on the treated flowering points. She is still genetically female, so her pollen is female. And unlike the pollen you can collect from plants that hermie due to stress or genetics, which can pass that trait on, the pollen produced from colloidal silver applications seems more stable.

In addition to producing feminized seeds, I want to produce seeds that will auto flower, because they're hella expensive So my goal is to treat one emerging bud site of each of my three strains to produce pollen, which I will use to pollinate one bud on each to give me some seeds. They will therefore self pollinate, if all works out, so I will have Auto Amnesia XXL seeds, Auto Blue Dream seeds and Auto Dark Devil seeds!

I hope!
