Always wondered about this and never really found out.

 

But, can you reverse feminized plants to produce males, and would they produce viable pollen and subsequently produce feminized beans?

I don't know about turning them into Males, but you can use Colloidal Silver to make them produce Pollen.

Yes, but, if the seeds are feminized to start with.....does that mean they don't have any male genes in them...if so, where would the male 'expression' come from if you did CS them in the usual way?

not sure but would suspect that even if it was possible god knows what genetics you would end up with?i do know breeding with fem stock is not a good idea as every generation has a higher rate of herms,genetics is fascinating but tricky subject its that can we?should we even if we could?good luck finding an answer i would only be guessing,peace

I have no idea sorry. All i know is that if you spray bud with CS just before putting them into flower, the buds turn into pollen sacks.

I thought the seeds you got were exact clones of the original plant?

Its sounds a bit like rodelization (but your not so much making males but it is making fems from fems) when you leave a female plant longer then you know it goes till nanas form, just a few here and there not a true hermie as such, after drying you collect the sacs in plastic bags stored in fridge, you need to have the same strain ready in first couple of weeks of flower and you pollinate them with the pollen you collected and get female seeds, so it would take two runs.

I get the cs/selfing methods.

Perhaps I should edit the q to read 'male bracts/ parts on already feminized plants' (not regular females)

Would it viable, with stable femmed offspring being produced, if it produced bracts at all?

Fems do kick out nanas but they're not pollen sacs in the accepted sense.

[Dutchy]

@budge  Budge, are you saying that a fem having nanas wont produce pollen thats viable for pollinating fems ? Im a bit confused here tbh

[Dekay]

Cannabis plants become male or female by the xy, xx jobby inprinted but they both have the ability to hermie not outright change sex as a survival trait under stress so I dont get it

Thanks for making my head hurt before settling down btw lol.
