How to get seeds from clone?

So i hear alot about certain bomb ass strains but only in clone form....so my question is how can we get beans from these clones? do we have to stress them for them to herm?

No stress. Stress is always bad. However, you do want them to herm, sort of. Look up more on colloidal silver and making feminized seeds. Basically, you spray that stuff on a plant, it forces it to grow pollen sacs. It self pollinates. The difference is in the genetics. A plant stressed is likely to produce hermie seeds. However, under the use of colloidal silver, the seeds won't be hermie but instead all female.

I agree with above, at least for the first step in the right direction. It is one of the best methods to get female clones to produce pollen(IMO), but each seed will not produce a copy of the original cut. The thing with clone only strains is that they are a certain phenotype of another strain(ie the UK cheese cut is from skunk seeds). With that in mind, the first generation of seeds are going to show a variety of phenotypes, and in order to get a "stable" seed crop, you would have to select the plants that show the characteristics that you are looking for and breed them together(or with a clone of the original cut) a few time.

yeah....you have to backcross and incross your clone to plants that have traits you can raze...but its all about selecting

i see. ima look into that silver, i got an amazing og cut that needs to live!
awesome. as i understand it's easy to make. do a search on icmag cuz this is actually where i learned all about it. i am positive there are tons of threads about how to make and use it properly. it's cheap to make as well. i think all you need is a cup of water, some batteries, a small rod of silver which is about $5 if my memory serves correct, and a few hours for the process to take place. good luck with that.
