Ok or not ok

found an inquiry that had me thinking 

 

someone grew a seed from a reputable seed bank, then bred and pollinated it apparently with colloidal silver or something as they have indicated it to be feminized 

will the seed/s perform as well like it was from the original seedbank?

    • That's up for debate !! I would hope it would be genetically equivalent to the mother ! TBS... I personally question the affect that removal of the males genes has on the offspring . Fems seem to be real popular these days! Not my thing !! Peace

      • 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

        • Unless we grow clones, we usually expect phenos.

          I would think the differences would be smaller, and maybe more environmental? (One plant stretches more, it's not a pheno, it was farther from the light, or one closer to the fan might have thinner leaves)

          Another question I'd have is.. what OTHER mutation does CS cause to cannabis, other than sex reversal?
