Tutorial DIY STS Mixing/Using Guide for Feminized Pollen/Seeds R.C.Clarke Method as Base

Is there an advantage to using sts over colloidal silver?

CS = Spray every day for 2 weeks. Stop
STS = Spray one day, wait two weeks, spray again. Stop

 

[NEED 4 SEED]

Spray on first day of flower (12/12) or first day you see flower?

It's probably better to spray one week before flower. I always had pistils in-between the flowers when I sprayed too early.

If you're collecting pollen it may be better to spray early. But i think if you want a good S1 crop (self pollination) you need the flowers.

You can drink your CS if you have a sore throat.
Never drank it myself but some claim health benefits, I wouldn't drink STS.

Lol

Man who turned blue after taking silver for skin condition dies

I remember years ago, maybe 20?
A guy on one of those old talk shows turned himself into a oversized Smurf by drinking CS.

Like totally legit blue. I remember a doctor (maybe Dr. Oz??) saying that he was blue all the way through. It wasn't just the surface of his skin!
Even his hair was blue. I'm going to see if I can find what he looks like today if he's living.

Net says he died in 2013.

No need. I remember thinking the dude was fucking cracked.

I'd rather do it with two separate plants to get a full flowering lady for getting the most out of it.

 

[LostTribe]

I guess they dont replace the pistils because i got a lot of seeds out of this

nice!

when and how often did you spray? did you spray the entire plant?

1:9?

Best

I sprayed too late and too much on that one. I ended up with about 300 seeds of which only about 175 were good. If I would have sprayed only twice, and lightly, and *before the flowers were too big, I would have had at least 700-1000 mature seeds. The upside is that I got a lots of pollen saved out of it for the next crop.

Still decent

This is also a good example of why I recommend flowering a cut specifically for collecting and storing the pollen. Dusting flowers at the perfect time is so much easier, when you have your pollen frozen and waiting. The difference in seed yield and viability can be significant.

Nope. Big big fail. I'm eating crow today.
These are the plants. It a whole forest of hermies. Every single one. About 75 plants.

I don't know, but these seeds were mostly white when i popped them. Certainly not the dark brown you find in ripe seeds. Maybe that's it?

They smell good so i guess they're going for oil or hash.

well that sucks

I'm not a smoker so it's no biggie. I have lots of weed anyway.

But my biggest thrill is growing.

 

[Douglas.Curtis]

Intersex madness parade! Definitely hash or medibles.

 

[CannaRed]

Hey guys!
Are there certain cuts, that no matter how many tries, just won't produce a male flower?
Is it possible that it is a genetic trait?
Like if a female just doesn't have the gene that allows expression of male flowers.
Might be stupid question, but I'm too stupid to realize it, so I gotta ask to learn.

 

[CannaRed]

I guess another question would be how often does it happen that the offspring herm like Tycho?

Tycho, has the mother(/father) hermed on you before?
Damn, whole outside garden hermed. It's not like it was a light leak.

Cannabis interests me more and more everyday. Learning something new about Canna is like taking one step forward and four or five back!

Read back a couple of pages, I have successfully reversed a budsite using a single drop of STS and posted the progress and result into this thread. I think other members also have successfully done this experiment.

So watch out a bit with overspray.

shit, thanks CVH

Also big thaks to Douglas u da man, and Tycho.

Nutbush here. Just waiting on pollen. Dubble Baked= OGKB2.0 x Sour dubble
