Hi everyone,
I'm planning to make some seeds using my auto seeds, been digging quite a lot about "how to", wanna ask more here about:
  1. Can I reverse my auto fem plant then self pollinating? My plan is, reverse few branchs using CS and pollinate the other branch that still fem. Is that possible? A bit confuse because it's the same plant, so that will be the same growth (sacks and bud). Planning not to train, and reverse the main cola, hoping it will grow a little bit fast than the other branchs so it can pollinate the other branch.
  2. Is pollinating still doable as long as the bud has white pistils? Or theres specific maturity that pollination wont work anymore.
  3. If number 1 condition is possible, do the seeds will be auto fem?
  4. Right now i am growing photo fem on my grow tent, is all above scenarios will work with photos too?
  5. The other plan is creating pollen using my photo and pollinate the autos to create F1. But, this is my first photo and to be honest I like auto more.
  6. Getting seeds is hard and risky, since it illegal here. So, my main focus is to create some seeds for my future grow.
Thats it, hope understandable and thank you for visiting this thread.

There are both chemical and stress induced ways to do what you want.

There are also companies making regular auto flower in non fem seeds.

Regular Autoflower

3 strains by Heartrock Mountain 1 by Gnome automatics also comes in 15/20 seed pack just browse all seeds to find them Michigan Grower xD who ive heard has great autos lots of reg autoflowers MI5 is a Ak-47 pheno (i think could be wrong check for yourself)...
overgrow.com

I myself think regular autoflowers will be a problem later as the rud genes populate none rud strains from pollen in the outdoors.
There is already problems with trying to grow straight femm plants in certain parts of the country. Kansas city has a problem as most plants outdoors will get pollinated . 10 years from now peeps will be putting out sativa plants that used to grow 12 feet now you have a mini plant that flowers 5 weeks in.

Great opinion, but not everyone have and ideal place and time to do the best things possible. Your concern on outdoor auto pollen polution should address to the right place since I grow only on tent, 1 3x3 tent actually. As I said, my ideas/plan come from videos, articles on the internet, and I have some more questions about it. Purely asking with main goal to getting some seeds from my plant. I do living in the country with super strict regulation about cannabis, almost nothing I can do with your concerns.

Yes they can self. But some will not have enough time to mature the seeds. Depending on the strains maturation rate and timeline. It may be best, if you can, to start another female about two weeks after your intended reversal target.

That is exactly what I am doing now. https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/my-northern-cheesey-hellbound-trainwreck-and-reversal.173232/

Just found out on youtube, and yes some seeds are not mature enough but there's enough mature seeds on one self pollinated plant. I only have 2 auto seeds left, amnesia haze auto fem from barney's farm and original glue auto fem from nirvana. I will try what you doing now on my next run, since amnesia haze has more time that original glue, maybe i will plant it first. Also will try to self pollinating the og glue. Now I'm growing clone of orange runtz cake 2.0 fem (photoperiod), will try self pollinate to them. By the way, thank you for the refference.

My other experiment right now is how long my Amnesia Haze Auto (Zamnesia) survives. Which may help you as well. That was part of my Auto grow fiasco over the summer (early autumn) and still growing even after I harvested her. I originally called her Wendesday (she germed on a Weds) ala Sir EA Poe. Now I am renaming her Shelley after Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

Shelley is very cool name acording to what happen. Did you try to prune the root and repot? Just like bonsai. Maybe its rodelization? If so, there's a chance she will turn to herm (flash read about it long time ago). I dont know much about rodelization tho.

Yes, that is one possibility I just have no references to it occurring in Autoflowers. It's quite common in photo (some strains much more so than others), strain may make a difference even if Auto. I just don't know yet. If I can keep her going, which I think I can, I'll know more.

Saw it on your thread, that branch coming out after harvest or it's been there the whole time? Hope she will going thru mate.

Honestly, I did not see it until well after harvest. Her skeleton sat there for days before I even looked at her again. She was raised in the pot with another female (too much drink and potted two in same bag). But I can't swear it wasn't there. Although I will say this. There are more starting, I just went and checked her. I'll take a pic later.

And same with your experiment, I hope it works for you as well.

You can do exactly as you describe and get feminized autoflower seeds, BUT you should be aware that hermaphroditism CAN occur in the seeds with a VERY high probability.

Even if my plant is feminized? If so, interesting fact.
