  1. Iā€™m curious what pollenating flowers on a feminized male with pollen from a masculinized female would result in… Does it come full circle to XX + YY = XY…? Increase or decrease in hermaphroditic tendency…?

  2. Are the female seeds provided from the male plant will be viable or potent as to the original regular female seeds from the same strain line? Does the female seeds from the male plant needs to be crossbred in order to have viable and worthy female seeds? I ask because the female plant can be used to make feminized seeds which are viable copy of its intended genetic strain line, I wonder if this is also the same with the male plant when induced to producing female seeds in which 25% of seeds should be female but wonder if they are viable as to an authentic female seed.
    I also read that the US has just recently banned the use of "Ethephon". How are the "Ethephon" based products still being sold easily online in the US, is it only banned for the application to Kashmir products?

  3. Speaking with cannabis breeders, I was under the impression this would make male-ized seeds. Like how, a herm, or plant pollinated with pollen from a reversed female, since there was no male DNA introduced, that creates feminized seeds. A reversed male pollinating itself would be the same, no female DNA in the making of the seeds, so would produce a majority male seeds. This would be preferable in the hemp industry, as males have a stronger fiber strength.

  4. When is it too late to treat? I've been in flower for 3 weeks and thought it might be a hermaphrodite because it was showing signs. But now they are males 100%. BTW they are 2 strains grafted. Was it too much stress to turn both females into males? Any answers would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. I do DWC.

  5. So.. producing male flowers/pollen on a female plant by introducing a chemical reaction with colloidal silver or something similar yields feminized seeds. So are the resulting seeds from making a male plant produce female flowers all male seeds?
