Brain Burning Questions On Feminized Seed Creation

After the studying I've done on making feminized seeds with colloidal silver, I'm still left with these questions...

  • what is the rate of failure, in ending up with predominantly hermy seeds?
  • are people using this silver method to cross?
  • would using the hermy pollen on a different strain result in less chance of hermy seeds?
  • It's my understanding, using the pollen on the donor plant or another of the same strain has the high hermy risk, donor being the highest?

Thanks in Advance!!

I think what you are failing to realize is that when you use colloidal silver on one branch of a plant you are not causing that Branch to become a Hermie! And the seeds that you would get from self pollinating a plant with its own pollen from a branch treated with colloidal silver has no more chance of becoming a hermaphrodite then the plant that created them seeds.
The easiest way I can explain it is that when you treat a branch of a plant with colloidal silver all you are doing is suppressing the female hormones. You are not changing the sex of that Branch really. By suppressing the female hormones a plant naturally creates pollen sacs. The resulting seeds are not considered from a hermaphrodite whatsoever. The resulting seeds are a 100% genetic copy of the plant those seeds came from and will not carry any more hermaphroditic traits at all.
