So with using colodial silver you trick the female into turning male and making seeds itself. But how can you cross different strains in this way? can you without male pollen from a different plant?

@Fruitgrower, this was done with the six shooters. You could take this pollen and dust it on any flowering female plant that you want. On those cheese cookies I sprayed a GSC clone to make her produce pollen then dusted it on a cheese clone that was in flower.

Cheers from Canada - looks like a great method here. Did you cut these clones when they had started flowering?

@frogDUDE, yes I cut them and start spraying as soon as the plant starts producing pistils. You have to be fast with autos to make sure they have enough life left in them to produce viable seeds

Just curious did you measure the ppm strength of the colloidal silver when u made it ? Following along

@DILLIGAF, no the last time I tried this it ruined my ppm meter so I decided to just go until it got really dark.

they are pods and yes they will drop some pollen as soon they open the best way to collect it is a small yellow envelope and a small paint brush your bud will not be to potent after that but still have a lots of purpose

@mr_green_thumb_ottawa, I have to ask, why does the envelope need to be small and yellow? 😜 So jelly of you southerners! It got cold quickly here on the wet coast.

ok this is badass now i dont have to waste a whole plant for seeds. ill make clones in coco, so u sprayed them straight after rooting or imediatly after the cut ?

i see u recommend using whole plants ok i think thats best for more seeds, growing autos in bulk after that, thanks for all the info here

That's pretty cool making your own colidial silver and spraying them such a long ass process that takes patience man .Are you going to keep crossing them next grow what traits are you looking for with these girls ..

Cannibalgardenscommented5 years ago

@Wicked_Stix,nice I'll follow along to watch and learn with you

@Cannibalgardens, there are so many stains out there these days. When I get serious about a project I am probably going to try to work on a pure sativa and try to maximize the thc in it. That excites me!

@Wicked_Stix,I could see them being more difficult for sure but your doing it lol .it's just really cool to think about breeding and crossing genetics ..

Hey there! Kinda a deeper question for you. You are budding plants for smoke, while also having one dumping pollen on itself. In theory all it takes is a fly to land on some pollen and then transport it to another plant, or an adjacent grow area... Or for some pollen to stick to your clothing and fall off over another budding plant. How do you keep that from happening?

Jwjohcommented5 years ago

@Wicked_Stix, ah nice! I'll keep that in mind. I'm following this closely as I want to do the same some day. I feel like it'd be easier to just have a bunch of seeds than have to make clones all the time, ya know?! Plus then you're always 1st generation. I'm always paranoid and clean up when I've been outside and then need to open my indoor tent. Who knows what kind of bugs, fungus, etc you're gonna drag in!

Wicked_Stixcommented5 years ago

@Jwjoh, I keep the pollen clones outside and wash my hands and arms off after being around them but yeah there is always a risk of pollinating another grow. No way to be 100% on that.

thanks for documenting this, this is exactly what I'm planning on doing this run but haven't seen a decent run through of the process so I appreciate the work! 🙏✊

Wicked_Stixcommented5 years ago

@LawAbidingCitizen420, glad I could share it! I just did a cheese cookies cross the same way. It is a pretty cool process.

Very nice. Have you grown any of these seeds you got off it yet?

Wicked_Stixcommented5 years ago

@Kushlove420, Thanks. I haven't had time to grow any of them. I just bred a cheese cookies cross that I will probably grow before these.

I love seeds 😍the cops took all of mine but God keeps them coming my way☺️gotta grow Magic

Wicked_Stixcommented5 years ago

@Marihumama, I love seeds too! These are almost done but I just started spraying another batch of clones. Going to cross breed 2 strains this time.

First of all thnx for your answer on my question. Something i want to try next season,stressing your plant with colloïdal silver to generate seeds. But i find different times of when to do it en non on when to do it on a auto. When did you start to stress her? Thnx

Wicked_Stixcommented5 years ago

@Mano76, I cut clones as soon as the plant hit preflower and inmediately started spraying them the day they were cut. If you are using a plant rather than clones then you start spraying them as soon as you see pistils popping up. You only want to do it under low wattage cfl lights because spraying them under high power lights will fry the plant. I learned this the hard way lol. It doesnt really stress the plant. It just blocks chemicals that trick it into producing pollen.

looks good, well done! I will be going through this for the seed making. I tried on a auto but did not get them that try.

Jwjohcommentedweek 75 years ago

Excellent!

blendmedmedmancommentedweek 65 years ago

very nice I may have used too much light but will try this at a later time. cheers and good job mate!
