Colloidal silver seeding problems

Dangster
Dangsterstarted grow question 2 years ago
I have been applying colloidal silver to a couple of bud sites on 3 separate plants for over 25 days morning and night sometimes 3 times a day. These are all autos and I'm still not seeing any male flowers. How long should I expect to wait

I don't know what granny has been smoking, but most of what she wrote is wrong. Misting the entire plant may work better, but otherwise be patient, it can take quite a while when only doing a branch or two, but it will happen eventually. Make sure to use the pollen on a seperate plant to avoid "inbreeding" which can cause (bad) recessive genes to recombine and become dominant, leading to inferior plants. Also, it is NOT SAFE to consume any plants that have been treated with colloidal silver!!!!! They MUST be sacrificed for seed or pollen production ONLY.

I used silver to reverse some autos and back crossed them with themselves. It took some time but I got flowers. It wil depend on the strength of the CS. I spayed a lower branch 2-3 times a day for quite a bit before I saw anything. then it exploded. got about 80 seeds from it all. very low yielding but it was ok. I'm growing them out now to see how stable they remained. its a massive unknown. They should be Autos and should be Fem 99% but sometimes weird shit happens or the seeds are sterile. This is my diary I logged it in. check it out. might help you a bit. growdiaries.com/diaries/129779-grow-journal-by-m0use Good Luck!

You're not going to get male plants from an autoflower. Period, end of story. I don't know what magic you think colloidal silver has but you might as well rub it on a bald head to grow more hair (won't happen). Sorry, mate... and even if, by some remote chance, you get seeds from them, they won't be the same strain as your "mothers" ... read up a little bit more on autoflowers... Good luck
