who can chime In on how to create a seed ?

With my current plants going if I want to keep a strain without cloning it can I produce a seed out of it somehow ? Do I need pollen ?

Sorry new to this . Normally just sfart new seeds for the new runs but I’m curious to keep one

You can spray a branch with Colloidal silver and get the plant to self it’s self.

Cs will make it produce male pollen sacks ( you need pollen to pollinate )

I dunno if this also works with sts

After you’ve spayed the plants with cs you cannot smoke it same with sts

an easy way to proceed is to make clone(s) in small cup that you switch to 12/12 early and spray with CS to get your pollen.

here an article about the use of CS to make fem seeds:

One thing to keep in mind is that if you have a male or reversed plant in your tent, it will pollinate all the females in the tent.

Why no cloning is my ask? I take a cut or 2 off my plants before I flip them. 2 months later when mom has been harvested I've a 2 month old plant with the same gene's ready to flip so I take a cut or 2 flip and grow out the cuts. The cycle continues until I tire of the strain and want new genes

You will need a dome and heat pad, Don’t even try if you dont have these unless you are using something like a turbo kloner. I get 100% success with my turbo kloner and it’s super easy. Ni need to keep opening domes every 8-12 hours to prevent rot.

I've been breeding. Got me a nice hermie plant that had 5 balls only on it. Took 3 of em and pollinated my females as well as the hermie and now I have seeds. I figure if I can do it anyone can cuz I'm like the worst.
