the plant that is reversed will develope pollen sacks ( balls ) and you can use that pollen to fertilize any female plant with. All the seed will be female.

kk so reverse plant pollen isnt no good just pollen from fem plants with buds on em gotcha still worth a try auto seed prices are serious .think i will b breeding getting a 4x2 to do sum expirements withn i was under impression it was like really really hard to do doesnt seem that hard at all ogood looks @pop22 have you done any breeding with sucess???sorry all th e ?? lol
Clarification.
Assuming we are working autoflower plants.
You need Colloidal Silver (see above info)
You need 2 different female autoflower plants.
Plant 1 will become your male pollen donor, plant 2 will become your mother.
These plants can be same strain or different strains, just make sure both are auto fems to begin with.
At first sign of sex on plant 1 begin twice daily sprayings with CS until at least 1 week after male pollen sacs.
Do nothing with plant 2 other than feeding until pollen begins falling from plant 1.
Collect your pollen from plant 1 and apply to plant 2's pistils with a soft bristle small paint brush.
You can do a single branch or the whole plant depending on how many seeds you want.
Allow additional time for the seeds to mature and with luck you will have a cache of autoflowering fem seeds that are viable and ready to grow.
This should clear up any questions on the actual act.

Thanks for all the info peeps
I plan to cross DP starryder with AKR.
Cheers,
steely.
sounds like an interesting cross!
last time I made seeds I used a chemical called tiresias mist. You need 2 plants for this. One you spray and one you pollinate. I would start with regular seeds not fem. Start as many seeds as you can so you have a verity of possible parents. Like stated above start spraying as soon as you see a pre flower.
Now you have confused either me or the issue. If you are starting with regular seeds and not all fems as you stated, is your end goal still all fem seeds? It seems such a waste to grow out a bunch of regular plants, males and females, just to pick 1 female to spray and reverse. And then get some seeds from 1 of the other females. If you are going to be shooting for fem seeds only as the outcome, isn't it just easier to start with 2 fems from the start? Just tying to get my head around your reasoning for reg seeds.
The problem, IMO, is that using fem seed for both parents is, what you get from the cross is what you get. These will be little variation in the F1 generation. Using regular seed for at least one parent will allow you to grow out enough plants that you can choose 1 or 2 females with traits you like THEN create fem pollen from them and breed the mother plant.
I think if you use fem seeds to make more fem seed it increases the chance of creating genetic problems in the off spring. I have used fem seeds for breading but not to make more fem seeds. I am growing out some stuff now were one parent was fem but I only do it if I cant get 1 parent that was from a regular seed and only as a last resort. When you fems seeds your bringing out a recessive trait in the plant and you want to keep that trait recessive. I am worried about making the trait dominate when I breed and wont use both fem parents for it.
