Is this cs or sts or rodelization?

I got this feminized spray has silver extracts similar to colloidal silver. He said it's mineral extracts and herbal extracts. So it has no chemicals, am I just making hermies or feminized seeds?? Need expert advice please

Well I'm no expert an I've never used that product but I have grown out a ton of plants over the years an been in the culture my whole life so I guess it's more of a lifestyle then a degree of experience.Any way to make fem seeds requires turning a female or a male to change sex through hormonal response brought on by a form of stress .I have had this happen through mistake an grew out the plants with no hermi action .I have left a sativa go to long an she pumped out seeds an they also were female an did not hermi gave em to friends that were novice growers an they still didn't herm when harvested on time .I would try it an see how it works also let me know because it looks like something I could use to get some seeds off some of my prize rare strains .

Thanks for your advice. It was pretty reasonable price. $50 usd for 8 oz. With good reviews on ebay. I grew a strain that a breeder gave me. He's been growing for 15 years. An my first shot grew it like shit. In muddy clay soil, little sunlight. It hermed fast he said he never saw that.

Well technically you can't "make hermies". Whether or not a plant herms naturally is a trait in the plants DNA. Using a spray to reverse a plant, is just that, reversing it. It is not a herms issue at all. You can force ac plant to herm as Dank mentioned, but that is still introducing something to the environment to force the male sacs to form. It's not the natural herm trait showing itself. Annnndd, I say all that, to say this, lol. There are a bunch of reversal sprays on the market now that growing is becoming legal in more places. Some are all natural, some aren't. I'm sure it will work, as the process of reversing isn't all that complex. But I personally don't trust the sprays enough to use any of the plant material once it's been sprayed. I trash any plant I reverse. So if I plan to reverse a strain, I just grow it in a solo cup or something, or take a cut and reverse it, rather than waste a big ole plant.

They say it's a weed but don't expect it to grow like a dandylion it takes decent soil good light for cannabis to grow an when stressed problems occur .They also say when making seeds they don't normally turn out like the mom an in terms of S1s I have seen a lot of the plants turn out like the mom.Only difference was smell an taste was not as strong .

O.k. im new to this making feminized seeds. An like my main problem, but now I figured it out. I wasn't sure exactly the difference, between organic or chemical colloidal silver spray technique. And rodelization technique I understand it now. All rodelization is, when you stress not spray. A plant at the beginning or end of light cycle. An it begins to produce hermaphrodite seed. While colloidal silver spray technique. You spray preferably at beginning of female preflower. With a mineral or chemical an it reverses the sex. Unlike rodelization even the spray is, sometimes natural you will produce 100% feminized seeds. After 6-8 weeks is this correct?

Almost, you take the pollen from the reversed plant and pollinate another female of the same strain. That'll give you 99% females, with stable genetics.

You can also pollinate the same plant if only a branch was reversed BUT that can cause problems with the plants grown from those seeds due to inbreeding, like hermies or having different traits to the original strain.

Much appreciated advice

What should I expect from a feminized S1 dwarf auto? Will the traits all be random? Like tall plants and medium? Should I get it tested, before releasing to public? I see some breeders selling S1 feminized strains.
