1-24 Checked everyone and took pictures nothing new Mother ADF holding at same terrible leaves but doesn't appear to be progressing. Going to be giving some Margelo plants back to source this week. Took some old pollen from the Mother ADF leaves and male flower from F1 she was crossed with off her leaves and dabbed it on a few preflower sites on Margelo for shits and giggles.
1-25 Waterd F1s with weak Mg solution, watered Margelo plants, rearranged.
1-28-22 Four Margelo cuttings found new homes, recived a cutting off the top of the only seed found in margelo in four years of its growing. potted it into 4 inch with worm castings only this brand is more like peat in constancy than true castings and doesn't silt or muck. placed a bag over it.
Top cola on ADF mother making BC1 seeds first pollinated turned dark and didn't look good I decided to cut it off thinking it was fungal but possibly it was ripe and following nature? seed dropped out of it hard full plump percent looking seeds, put it on a plate to dry and after ripen. after a closer look no obvious fungus was spotted. will continue treating mother ADF as normal. moved outdoor ADF into 18/6 tent as freeze is expected for a few days. LST her. F1s look good seed production looks normal.
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.
