Chubby that's a good question when you break it down.

You manipulate the cells to produce male parts with the plants own genetic material. but just like the mix in variety from  typical pollen or seed,right? Then you grow them out there is some variety in each plant, right? might be the same as a plant crossed by itself then?

each half set of material for each seed will have small differences? But overall it will be a similar plant? like an F2?

I alway interpreted the act of silvering or obtaining pollen from the female and cloning to be very different things where colloidal silver is closer to crossing the plant the old fashioned way. The only  difference being from where you got your pollen from. I am certain there are advantages otherwise folk wouldn't do it
