Hello, I want to know what the pros and cons are to taking a plant and using colloidal silver to produce a branch of pollen and then taking the pollen to pollinate the same plant to make seeds, Any insight is appreciated.

- Thread starter Budget Buds
- Start date
It is common practice to reverse and entire plant and not just a branch. I do however reverse single branches frequently but I only do this if I have tested the strain for hermi genetics and found none. Also I do not usually pollinate the reversed branch plant but instead use the pollen on another plant.
The reason I only reverse single branches is to get a better idea of what the bud characteristics are of the "father plant". Imo its just a way of making my selection of males less blind.. not sure of that helps but I hope it at least makes sense lol

is there an issue with seeds having silver in them? I'm under the impression that using only one plant means that there will only be one set of genetics and thus less chance of variables.
I have never used cs... and quite possibly the timing will be off and you wont get viable seeds..? It takes a while to reverse.. CS effects in seeds you will have to do your own reading on that I dont know.

you are going to stress the plant at least a little bit , and i for one do not like the risk of useing seeds from a stressed plant
reverse an entire plant and pollinate others with it
if photo sensitive plants take clones from one mother plants and breed with sister clones
this needs to be in the feminised section
peace :Cool:

Man it seems like no one has the information that i'm seeking. 1. Using only one plant means that there will only be one set of genetics and thus less chance of variables, True or false? 2.What the pros and cons are to taking a plant and using colloidal silver to produce a branch of pollen and then taking the pollen to pollinate the same plant to make seeds. 3 If the plant tastes like a blueberry and gets 2.7 feet tall and auto flowers, wouldnt the seeds do the exact same thing because there is no genetic diversity? Its pollen with the exact same genes. True or false??
1.True-ish
2. it is only good to make self bred seeds with photos because you can use 2 clones and reverse 1 and pollinate the other.
You do not want to do this with autos because you stress the plant by only reversing a branch. Can't clone an auto and reverse like you can do with photos.
Basically its a bad idea because it could create hermi and/or male offspring.
3. No, not necessarily. There are a lot of factors to consider. Like dormant traits and recombination of the genetics. Self crossing does help with locking down desired traits but you will not get 100% exactly the same offspring as the mother.

FALSE <--- there did you see an answer that time ?
i said "you are going to stress the plant at least a little bit" , that would be a con
you also WILL get genetic diversity useing only one plant as EVERY plant has traits that are not dominant in the original plant but often become dominant within the offspring
everything you need to know has been posted in this forum , please read and if you have questions after reading dont be afraid to ask , but please dont ask when the answer is staring you in the face
if you are forced to use one plant then so be it , go for it , but if possible use 2 plants for better and more reliable results best of luck with your breeding project
peace :Cool:
Edit : it appears to me as though you are looking for the quickest way to acheave the results/seeds/plants you are after , that imho is a big mistake and exactly why some breeders/seedbanks FAIL as they are after the same
if you want results you can be proud of do not take short cuts

only thing ive noticed is any "selfed" plants/seeds from the reversed plants have all been runts , but that might be coincidence and somehow i myself stunted every seed i ever planted from a reversed , selfed plant
when useing C.S that is , never tried partial reversals with sts and my sts results ive considered fails , 50'ish seeds when there shoulda been 1500 lol , wouldnt mind trying sts again with the newly aquired info ive recieved from ppl such as you/cres
