Hey Biotek,
You treat the fem seeds just as you would normal/standard seeds dude. I've tried them, but for the money I think you're better off sexing your plants in the 4/5 week and using the dough you saved for other toys.

So, are you a hydro grower or a dirt farmer?
Peace

I grow usually 50/50 half soiless organics and half aero this way if thinks go wrong(like things do in hydro/aero systems) I always have a back up soiless is usually fail proof and I like the organics.I grow all my mom in soiless for easy to move and long life.

Plants from femmed seeds clone the same as plants from m/f seeds. Like all seedlings, the more mature they are, the easier they will be to clone. Soft stems are what you want to avoid when looking for the best branches to take cuts from. Lower slightly woody branches are more likely to work than top branches.

And contrary to urban cannabis growing mythology, femmed seeds will not be any more likely to be hermaphrodites than m/f seeds if the parent plants were screened for hermaphrodite traits before reversing and breeding. Anyone who knows what the hell they are doing will have done this before releasing a femmed seedline. GH should know what they are doing.

It isn't the reversal process itself that results in herms. There is some past breeding history that has unfortunately clouded people's opinions of femmed lines.

Herms were present in the first releases of femmed seeds because breeders initially used plants that expressed male blooms under light or chemical stress. This trait was then (understandably) carried over to the femmed offspring. Seems pretty damned obvious that those traits would carry over; the parents were showing herm traits.

But using silver thiosulfate solution on a plant that has been properly screened for hermie traits prior to breeding will not result in hermies; at least, not any more than normal. There will always be some individuals that display some hermie traits; it is normal. It is a built-in survival mechanism in cannabis. Pull those individuals and move on.

I've grown out a shitload of femmed seeds. I know this for a fact. I can't vouch for GH's method for feminizing seeds, but again, they are a pro outfit; they should know this stuff.

Just my 2 cents.
