Hey Rusty,
Thanks for tutoring me on breaking up the quotes. On a subsequent post on another thread I figured out how to insert my answers using a different color to make my comments different from the quote. Next time I'll try to do it correctly.

On topic, I agree with your take on femminizing seeds. Especially if the concept is not understood and over used or miss used. I was originally taught not to use the technique to self pollinate a plant only to use the pollen on other plants, having been told that the seeds from a self pollinated plant would certainly be hermie. Had a situation many years later where I had only one plant and was moving and wanted to keep it as seeds. So I did the self polli routine, got my seeds and months later when I grew them out (with my fingers crossed) they where no different then the original, and did not hermie on thier own. And in fact during an experiment to hermie a prodigy it took the same effort to get it to turn as the original plant. Live, learn and experiment.

BTW thanks for the heads up on the comments.
oldmac Reviewed by oldmac on . Colchicine treating I've read from a few sources that crushing Colchicine tablets or extracting the raw colchicine from the winter crocus bulbs and soaking your seeds in it is the most preferred and used method to feminize seeds....anyone have any input as to this method of feminization?
