off-topic, but if you buy seeds from online do you need both male and female seeds/plants to get more seeds?

btw does anyone know someplace to get seeds within the usa without getting a letter in the mail? I hate the idea of the package going through customs =/

You'll be hard-pressed to find a U.S. based seed vendor. (Assuming that's where you're from, because seeds are illegal in the u.s.)

Unless you make friends with the right people, you're pretty much guaranteed to have to get seeds through customs.

EDIT: Well Magash beat me to it.

If you want regular seeds, yes.
Or you could feminize seeds, and that takes at least 2 females, no males. Fairly complicated procedure, but doable.

You're almost right but it can be done with just one plant. You can make just one branch put out the feminized pollen and leave the rest of the plant normal. Then you can actually seed that plant with that pollen this allows you do seeds with just one plant.

how do you get feminized pollen from a female plant?

Ok, the difference between female and male plants is pretty much a hormone. They both have the same flowering hormone but the female has a extra hormone that tells the forming flower to form as a female flower. Now what sts, and colloidal silver do is attach themselves to the hormone that tells the plant to form a female flower and make it unusable by the plant.
So if you spray just one branch that branch won't be able to use the hormone. Since it can't use the hormone that tells the flower to form as a female then I but you figured out what happens. That branch will form male flowers.

Because male plants don't have this hormone it's impossible to do it in reverse or to make female flowers on a male plant so you could make all male seeds. Not that I've ever heard of a reason to do that.
