one is up and getting the light. just gave her clonex with water to get the roots going. they are on a 19 hour 5 dark. I plan to
flip the switch in about 4 or 5 weeks. should be fun I had two but looks like ones may not survive
not much still going. I will do the first feed in the next watering, she will get a small dose of the 20/20/20 and cal/mag other wise I will also cut the bottom of the fabric pot to put it on a big rock wool cube, she was and is in a faric pot that hold one gallon of coco, I was going to keep this plant a bit smaller but now I need bigger space for the roots as she will be the only one im working on.
I moved her to the dwc bucket as she looked like she need more room. she was in a one gallon pot of coco and a rock wool cube. I was going to keep her small as an experiment while running some others. well plans change and she is my only one so I am going to try tying her branches down. I have a net but I am hesitant on using it as I need to change out her dwc bucket that is 5 gallons, any ways I am vegging for maybe another week but I am going to try spraying a branch for a test. I will be using the silver thisolate spray
the picture was taken before transfer to new home with room to grow
she was topped a few days ago and she has 4 branches, one branch has been sprayed now for about 4 days, sprayed with silver thisolate for female seed. I will put her in to flower and continue to spray and hope to see pollen sacks soon. otherwise she is real happy in the dwc bucket. she came alive, as she was in the smaller 1 gallon she looked sad.
ok I did not update last week. life happened to us. I put her in flower and she was doing good. I topped her and she had four nice branches. one was being sprayed that I picked off.
I had 3 and on my fault I tried to spilt the main stem and they broke off. I have one left that started to show her sex. she is about a foot and a half. her roots are really nice and in the bucket. I put her back in to veg for a few weeks for one, get her big and 2 I am going to still spray a branch with the solution silver col. it seems my mix on the other was too strong and I believe killed the branch. over all she is very happy. I will do my best during this world wide crisis. other wise I should have a big yield from this and hoping for sum seeds as well.
she is still up and going back to veg. she was in flower for 2 weeks. I topped her and she had four nice branches, I sprayed one with a silver thisolate mix but the mix was too strong and killed that branch. the other two I spilt and they were to split too low, the last branch has now become the main plant. she was showing her flowers and now back in veg to get that one branch bigger so I have a good yield later, I tied down the very top to get the smaller branches to get growing ect. otherwise shes still up. hard to get pictures cause she is in a 5gal dwc bucket.
she looks happy so I am happy
ok so I debated in my head about topping. I broke down and did it. I counted 8-9 tops that should be a nice harvest of this.
I am thinking of putting into flower but I am trying to go another 3 weeks in veg. reason is I have 2 little ones I have in that tent now. I may have to set a different tent up for those and keep them smaller. man decisions.
otherwise she is drinking about 3 gals a week. looks like I have a cal-mag thing going on ill try to sort out.
still up and going. the branch that was small is now a good size one that will have a good 7 plus tops. I topped her last week and she seems to have taken it nice. I will try to keep her in veg until I can flip with the others in about 3 weeks but I may flip sooner and just set up a smaller tent for the two seedlings I have going. after all yield will be nice on her. she is on a very light feed right now, I changed the 5 gal bucket out to a 5 gal bucket with just water about 3 days ago, but the bucket has a light color from the nutrients that were still in the roots, so a light feeding is going on for another few days. until next week
ok super skunk is still up and I will do the flip here in a few days. the plant started as one, then got topped, and had four nice branches, I then went and flipped the cycle to 12/ 12 to put her in flower,
after about a day or two in flower i realized i had split the stem a bit too far I had l lost two branches leaving with 2 branches, since i wanted to make seed I continued to spray daily on one of the last 2 branches. I sprayed one with a silver thisolate spray to make seed from. my mixture was too strong and I lost that branch. I was left with a small branch that was maybe 5 inches tall.
so I flipped back to veg in 2 weeks of flower, right when the flower sites started to show, she has be in veg now 3 weeks almost 4 and I have gave her a hair cut to open up the areas where the buds will form. I will be still spraying one of the branches this time with col. silver spray that is being made right now that has a ppm of 30ppm. I will start spraying the same day I flip to flower. her root system is massive that sits in a 5 gal dwc and her height by root to top is a good 45 inches. the plant on top stands a 18 inches. I have taken off all the lower branches so this should bring all growth to where I need it and that is the bud sites that get the light. should be a good ride now. with this one.
UPDATE in the upper post I was talking about spraying a col. silver spray, I decide to use the silver thisolate spray one more time. I sprayed one branch today, and I flipped to flower. I will spray again in 5 days. fingers crossed I get female seed from this. so she has been sprayed, I covered the branch with a plastic bag after spray to protect the other branches. so now I wait to see how the experiment goes of making female seed spray.
ok she is still up and now I am having either a deficiency and I am guessing magnesium but I am also wondering if it is a disease? as the eagle bill is starting to show this as well.
what I have done so far to correct this, gave Epsom salts, and a bloom formula of 9-58-3
I am thinking of chopping this and starting new. yes she has been through a lot and has been in veg for awhile, as well as I have been spraying a branch with silver thisolate for female seed.
showing signs of a magnesium deficiency is my guess, I gave her Epsom salts about 2 days ago with a bloom fertilizer of 9-58-3. been spraying silver thisolate on branch. how would you fix?
what do you guys think? I want to save this one she's been through a lot
ok what I did so far and will continue to do since this one is a experiment, the plant was vegged the first time for 6 weeks, was put in to flower for two weeks, sprayed one branch with silver thisolate spray, ending up re vegging the plant with that last branch that was about 6 inches tall, turned that into this plant that has sat in veg for 13 weeks is now back in flower. I have used Epson salts and a bloom fertilizer new growth seems to returning, I have also have her another hair cut and removed a lot of the eye sore leaves. I will continue to spray the one branch with silver thisolate for the next few weeks to see if I got the mix right, the branch has not been showing signs of that burn. now I am thinking that this plant had a magnesium deficiency that I should have fixed before going back to flower. I also think that the plant has received loads of stress and with the spraying with the strong solution the first time, going in to flower then re vegged then going back to getting sprayed, getting a magnesium deficiency and going in to flower and getting re sprayed. I am interested in seeing how far I can push these plants. this plant has a flowering time of 49 days. so I will keep her going but I don't think ill smoke the bud from this plant just to be on the safe side. just want to trying to get seed.
Yes @DoktorHolland
I use nitrogen during veg, but reduce that in flower, as the buds form much better with lower nitrogen during flower. When I put the plant in flower I will use a low dose of nitrogen nutrient, but get rid of that at the end of week two. then low doses of it, by the end of the fourth week of flower I get rid of nitrogen all the way to the end and then a good 3 week flush with cold water to shock the roots for trichome production
as well as great fading colors.
ok she is still up and going. gave her another hair cut to open up the bud site more as well as open them up for air flow. so this plant has been through hell she was topped way back, sprayed with silver thisolate to make female seed , put in to flower, back in to veg, then started what you see with one branch that has become one huge bush of a plant. she has had ph issues and I have been getting those in check, so I am still spraying on one branch and I have corrected ph as well as the magnesium deficiency she should now do something. I am pretty sure because of the spraying of the chemical the first time really shock her up and stressed her out, as the mix was really strong. but this is an experiment to see what this plant can take. she is a hearty strain and has taken a real beating. I am very sure that this strain is great for beginners as well as advanced gardeners. in the mean time though I will not consume any of the bud, but I will however make some in to concentrates, but I am really hoping to get a few seeds from her. she's going into the 2nd week again in flower, I believe I have everything back to the right ph, and should start seeing better green coming in the next few days.
ok she is still up and going, she is starting to get sticky and stinky. she seems happy for now, I did not continue to spray this week as I have sacks now forming on the sprayed branch. im thinking I will see sum pollen next week she should start shooting that gold dust out. for now I have been watching her ph and keeping them at 6, until next week
she is still up ang going. looks like I got that ph issue under control as I am seeing healthy green, this is my 2nd dwc grow so ive learned a lot. the sprayed branch is def. producing male flowers with some female pollen, so I should start seeing more of the gold dust here shortly, I did find a little bit but nothing to collect yet but the spray so far seems to be working. I know this super skunk is recommended for 49 days of flower so in 3 weeks but I will be going as long as I can to get some ripe female seed. this grow has taught me a bunch and I am happy that I did not give up way back on this grow. she smells amazing and is pungent, scents of skunk, rubber, and just pungent goodness. until next week.
Does any other grower here on grow diaries that has experience with using either the col. silver spray or the silver thisolate spray for getting female seeds?
success? any flowers being duds?>
I am asking this about silver thisolate, I sprayed one branch from seed, a known female super skunk, I have male parts but no pollen yet, Is it possible for the male parts not have pollen and the flowers themselves are duds? is spray a 100%?
ok here is what we all wanted to know including myself and that is why I asked many different breeders and my personal experience on using the silver thisolate spray.
I made the spray myself after tons of research and failed attempts. I was able to make a real nice reverse male branch from a fermionized super skunk seed. I started spraying once every 5 days at lights out right when I started the 12/12 cycle. I sprayed only once each five days totally drenching selected branch at lights out. I continued to do spray every 5 days and I started to see something sprayed one more time and got male sacks. I let these sacks do their thing. now I did not see very much pollen very little if any. now I was confussed at this point as I was expecting a large amount to collect and use later. I have grown out in the past a reg male so I got pollen from that. this time I did not recover any pollen and started to feel bummed out that perhaps this self seed making process was a failure as I did not get pollen to use else where. Now as of today the male branch has been cut off, and the plant herself is a few days from harvest. I cut a small bud down and wanted a closer inspection of those trichomes as I will be making concentrate from this and guess what?? I FOUND A SEED!! Was nice and hard and I set it aside for drying. I also found two more seeds that were still too soft and were no good. So as of right now there was pollen, just not enough for me to get at. I will however run a few of these seed to see if they hermie out as that was a suggestion that the same plant being self pollenated could possibly do. Either way the seeds will all be females. Lots of time and research on my part, trials and errors and now success. thanks for your suggestions guys.
ok here is the question, I used a silver thisolate spray to make seed. you spray once every 5 days, which I did, male sacks have formed, question is how much pollen should I see? there is a colloidal silver spray is 2-3 times daily, silver thisolate is once evry 5 days.
Yo blend, it is true what you are saying.
With feminizing there are less pollen than with a male plant. And from my experience the silverthio makes even less pollen. Sometimes you dont even see anything at all
super skunk is still up and going and I changed her diet tp just plan water until the end. otherwise this strain sure can take a lot as I look back at how this grow went, just wow. started as a nice plant that I topped and had 4 nice branches, I ended up loosing two of the main branches, that left me with two, then I sprayed one of the branches with a real strong silver thisolate spray, my mix was too strong lost that branch due to it getting burned, then the last branch is what you see now, that branch was about six inches. she was in flower the first time and then I had to re veg her to get some better growth. well she grew went back in to flower, sprayed again, and I have one branch that has bunches of male flowers, but little pollen, either way I learned a ton off this one. she is now in her 5th week of flower and smells really nice. the first time she went in to flower she had a rubbery smell. this time in flower she has more of a sweet skunk smell, either way she is smelling good. until next week. I am happy I let her keep going, I almost gave up on this one.
ok I cut the sprayed branch off, now I got a lot of flowers but hardly any pollen, there was a very small amount on the dwc lid but no where near any pollen I thought,
I also think that because this plant was re vegged ect and then re sprayed did not produce the results I was thinking,
I had used male pollen before and it was a lot. so I am unsure if the super skunk will make seed, as a few have said possible hermie seed from the same plant. if I get seed I will try a few to see what happens. I am glad though that the spray works to make sacks. my mistake is just speculation on my part but right now there is no sure way to tell. now on the other plant a c99 I have been spraying but with that one I started spraying 4 days before going in to flower, while this super skunk I started spraying right when I put her in flower. live and learn and I will see how this spray works with the c99. but for now the super skunk will continue to keep going, she is in her plain water flush, since sensi recommends a 7 week flower time. I will check the recombs then
the silver thisolate spray does work but perhaps my spaying time was off. I am learning new things everyday about the plants we grow and smoke, it truly is a very amazing thing to grow and learn from our mistakes as well as advice from others as that is how we all learn and later can share that information to others in hope to help with their own quest.
super skunk is still up and going I have about a week or 2 left. she already has started on her flush now for a week. I try to flush for 3 weeks or 21 days although I have read flushing does not matter, I have tried both and I am just use to flushing with water. other wise until next week
Super skunk is still up and going, she is loaded up with seeds now from me spraying one branch with silver thisolate spray. you spray this once every 5 days until you see sacks forming. the spray worked like it should. there is hardly any info on the use of this type of spray. now there are tons of stuff on the other spray colloidal silver, that you spray everyday until you see sacks. I have tried that and I get burned branches that look stressed out. while using the silver thisolate spray there is not much trauma to the area that has been sprayed.
now back to the plant, she is a very strong and healthy and you know she has good strong genetics, as in this grow is proof. this strain can take tons of beating and just abuse. I started the spray experiment awhile back. she was put in to flower the first time, I topped her and her stem split too far, I had 4 branches all together, the splitting lost 2 of the branches and I sprayed one and burned it off as my mix was too strong, then I re vegged her and the last branch was only 6 inches. she turned into a bush with multiple cola sites. I checked out a few of the seeds and they are hard with a little green. I will leave the plant go for another 5 days before the chop as I need the room in the tent. I am thinking and hoping those extra days will get the seeds where they need to be, a nice hard shell with a darker color. all in all I would run this strain over and over again as this strain is amazing. when she was in flower the first time she had a rubber kind of funk smell. well the 2nd time she went into flower the smell changed from the rubbery smell to more of a sweet skunky smell. both smell are wonderful to say the least. this has been a huge learning curve as I was able to make the spray, test the spray and refine the spray. I do have the recipe on making the silver thisolate spray as well as the col. silver spray. if anyone needs those recipes just let me know as well as how you should use them to what you can expect from the use of the sprays.
so in about 5 days from now I will do the chop. until then, thanks for reading.
This grew really nice and took a lot of beatings by me, she has great smell and I will be growing this over and over again. Just great I made a small handful of seeds but now I understand making seeds is not easy, I did it, it was a great learning experience that is just another part of what this great plant can do. this whole grow started great then took some dives and I was going to give up, I am real glad I did nt. I would have had a larger yield if I did not cut the stem to far when I topped, I was doing this plant as a research project as I know super skunk can take a beating and keep going. The strain is a real winner and bounces back as I put this one through a lot. great strain..
