Breeding Project

I have good news and bad news. Bad news, the Mango Ryder Auto and my own seeds from the last grow never popped, and I'm beginning to think that may be the case for all of my OG Kush seeds too :( I've noticed some little flies/knats and suspect they may be eating the seeds while they germinate in the soil....definitely time to cover the top of the soil with diatomaceous earth. That said, I've also failed to get any of the Knk or GG#4 clones to root in the rockwool I put them in a week or so back. I may end up making my own little rapid rooters and hoping for the best. I'm going to need at least two GG#4 clones on hand for breeding. Now for the good news. I bought some collodial silver for sex reversal this week, so I can potentially turn any female I've got into a male, and can also make feminized seeds with that technique. As for the breeding pool, I've currently got: 1x GDP Male (strong growth, resilient, great stretch, average yields, medium potency) 1x GDP Female (") 3x GDPx WW Females (medium growth, resilient, medium stretch and high yields, high potency) 1x KnK female (average/poor growth, average resilience, medium stretch, medium yields, excellent potency) GG#4 female (unknown growth, unknown reliance, unknown stretch, unknown yields, assumed excellent potency). Now for the intended crosses. 1. A feminized cross of Knk by GG#4 and select entirely for potency. The 'father' will be the KnK. I'll probably also throw in a female KnK since I'm out of seeds as well. 2. A regular strain with GDP male with GDP female and 2 GDP x WW females. 3. (Assuming OG Kush pops) A GDPx WW crossed with OG Kush female. Update as of 7/31. The Colloidal silver arrived. Being that I haven't used this technique before, I threw a KnK clone into the flower tent after some trimming and LST, then sprayed one of her lower branches with the silver. If all goes well, the top I sprayed should develop balls rather than pistils and should have the potential to pollinate the rest of the plant. I also wrote off all the rockwool clones. I don't know if I messed up the PH, or the clones were just to small, but after two weeks there was no sign of any root development. I took new cutting and went back to rapid rooters. Unfortunately this will delay the project a bit, but that's ok because I still need time to test the colloidal silver. Cheers!
