can anyone tell me about selfing? - Marijuana Strains and Breeding - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

I recently heard that there is a technique called selfing in wich you polinate to unlock ancestery traits of a plant. Is there any truth to the latter and if so, what are the pros and cons of such techniques. any and all info will be much appreciated. LIFE SNOT ANYTHING

Selfing is a technique of applying chemicals to a female plant which turn it into a male for breeding back to the original female. The great debate is whether this creates a greater tendency for hermies.

dezertomb...
Thanks for the answer. I've been wondering what selfing was myself. Didn't realized that's what it was all about. Is that really a healthy thing for the plant? Doesn't that stress it out? Duh...thus the sex change I guess... lol :smile:

CBF has a thread on this that has some good info and some Pro/Con debate. I'm not good at linking (or typing) but a quick search might yield some more info. I think it's called "What do you growas think about selfin". I think it is in this forum. Peace and good growing, Herb

I've heard the social backlash and family condemnation is almost as stressful as the physical stress for the plant who has had her sex changed...
