1-10-22 discarded male cutting yesterday, pollination is great on ADF mother. F1 ladies looking good. F2 seed sites look good. put some pieces of charcoal in the ADF mother pot, extra carbon to soak up N toxicty, top dressed with 2 tablespoons bonemeal, watered with well water and little Mg solution.
1-13 Mother ADF looks like shit, what was thought to be Mg deficiency has worstened drastically now that seed swelling has begun. now believed to be Ca deficiency, brought on by N toxicty, have been bringing her outside during the day and under lights at night to speed up drying cycles so more flushing can take place, yesterday she received one teaspoon in a gal of water of Cal-Mg. not too worried as still have back up ducks foot and pollen. seed sites on f1s are swelling nicely on the two more sativa looking F1s 2 left most. right side 2 more indica looking F1 plants dont seem to have as drastic swelling of calyxs but it is there, possible herm F1 has darkening pistels in multiple locations not chossen as seed sites, but no swelling is present though currently will monitor, her seed site has minimal swelling of calyxs. Margelo cuttings taking off nicely.
feminization on vegging plants? Has anyone tried colloidal silver to feminze seed using only preflowers on vegging plants? I am looking to try this method (and keep a diary) on Margelo to get small amounts of seed on vegging gals.
you have a cool project going on i'm also doing a regular round right now but i have no plan at all i'm just hoping for a nice male that smells good or something and i'm doing some f1 regular seeds but why do u saying 95% a male isnt it 50%?? I'm confused😧
Happy growing
@JaramnieJazz, Thank you. Yes the occurrence of males in regular seed is a 50% chance per seed. so with 1 seed its 50/50 male or female. same if you plant 2 seeds each has a 50/50 chance as individuals of being either male or female. but statics find us the odds or chance of those 50/50 odds. so the more seeds you plant the higher the chance of finding your 50/50 male. with 5 seeds planted its 95% likely at least one will be either male or female. 7 seeds gives us 99% chance of at least 1 out of 7 being the opposite of the 50/50. in other words 7 coin tosses in a row gives 99% chances of tails. I don't know how to put a pic in comments so look in the dairy for a pic of a chart giving the number of plants needed for each odds ratio common in breeding.
