I`m not sure on alot of this so take the info as you will, but fem beanz that have been made i think always carry the hermie gene cus they have been created by causing a plant to hermie to make fem beanz, so personally speaking i wouldn`t if you wan`t pretty solid seeds, in fact not even personally speaking but i don`t think any seed breeder would either tbh. You can use a reg fem bean to take 2 cutts from and make fem pollen with one then pollinate the other, which again i think is a f1 seed, but again unsure, if you self pollinate a plant with pollen you created with silver from the same plant plant i think thats whats known as S1 seed, but i was told by a breeder that can create monstosaties and fucked up deformaties and more you do it like > s1, s2, s3 and so on bigger chance of real fuck ups. I supppose its in breeding really so not the done thing as a rule of thumb, that said i never understood why you can use a clone of same plant and thats totally fine to make seeds with pollen of another clone of same plant and that doesn`t create fucked up mongy seeds/plants, if you get me. Don`t take all that as written in stone though cus i`m porobably miles off with alot of it lol.
I think one thing you have to remember is the first fems we're made by letting a female go weeks past there ripeness this causes them to go into a defence mode a self preservation mode created by Mother Nature, the down side to this in a commercial sense is there is very little pollen rellesed
Now cs works completely different. This works by genetically altering cells and inhibiting the female genes responsible for the flower type (male or female ) this is good from a commercial side of things because pollen is produced in abundance. But as u have fucked up the genetic makeup of the treated plant its no good for pollinating it self where as a clone of the same plant that has not been treated does not have its genetic make up compromised Go to the full post
