 Autoflower fem seeds making question

how would you make fem seeds from a autoflower. Ive read this..>>>it turns out that female autoflowering strains if let to grow past their flowering phase automatically grow pollensacks. presto! no need to stress a plant to herm, and you can collect fem pollen to produce feminized seeds. Can a trusted cultivator comment on this . Magash,Harry someone ? Thanks

No, you do not want to make feminized seeds this way. Waiting till the plant goes hermie promotes hermie seeds (I fight tooth and nail with Soma about this). Remember there is a difference between a plant that is hermie and a plant forced to make male flowers. (and stressing it isn't the way you do it) Soma's Rodelzation method is pure fucking stupidity. He has a huge amount of complaints about his feminized seeds to the point that many seed dealers won't even carry them.
When I make feminized seeds I stress the plants and the ones that show signs of male flowers are thrown out. The ones I can't get to go hermie are the ones I use to make male pollen from. With that method the rate of hermie seeds showing up in your feminized ones is less then 1.5% which is pretty much equal to regular seeds. As I said to somebody earlier today feminizing seeds doesn't happen naturally in nature so sometimes in order to make the plant do something un-natural to it un-natural methods have to be used. Feminizing seeds is one of them.
Making feminized seeds in autoflowers is done the same way it's done with regular plants. (when done properly it's done with sts treatments)

In your experience Magash is it worth it to fem seeds?

Yes very much so.
Their great for new growers who have no exp sexing plants and want to use the space they have fully without loosing plants as they turn male. They are also more uniform in growth then plants from regular seeds.

There also good for say your moving and you want to take that clone only strain with ya. Now you can make some feminized seeds and pretty much have the strain when you need it even if you can't get started for a bit.

They're great for the outdoors to get earlier finishers in Canada and such too!
