Morning Everyone :tiphat:

Hey, do any of you have experience using STS? I am thinking when I happen to run across a "keeper" I would like to make S1 seeds rather than taking cuttings.

Not much info to be found really......main question is at what day would one apply? And if wanting to do just one branch would I spray or just try to put it on with a small paintbrush or something?

Probably should post the question in the Advanced Botany section but it doesn't get the exposure this thread does :biggrin:

Left my Meyer's Lemon tree outside last night on accident :wallbash: damn stoner moment...so bought a bag at Wal-Mart this morning in case my 5 lemons I have been waiting all year for do not make it. Not in Florida fellas......but close so I got a freeze last night.

I used STS on a Gorilla Grape that i wanted to make seeds of.
From my limited experience with the stuff I can tell you that you should spray the plant thoroughly starting on day 1 of flower. I was led to believe i needed to wait several weeks. What happened was the plant was done flowering but the seeds were not fully mature...
For one branch i would put a bag around the whole plant except for said branch, spray the branch THOROUGHLY! I mean 'til it's dripping. Spray under the leaves and in every crook where a shoot is poking from. Once it's dry then you can take the bag off.
I believe you'll need multiple applications. Store the STS in the fridge.
That's all i can really offer, 'twas many many joints ago :smoker:

i thought you weren't supposed to use the pollen collected from the STS plant on itself but rather another clone?

that Triange Trip certainly has the kush profile.

Thanks Ass :tiphat:

I do have detailed instructions for mixing......that I will be careful to follow.

Been a long day helping the son and family with their Christmas tree, First Christmas in their house so they went all out and got a 9' foot tree. Bitch to get inside......bitch to get to stand up...bitch to hang ornaments on as one needed a ladder......

But, still priceless :ying:

Howdy FGT!

Nice DIY LED setup Twisted, props!

Pics look tasty Hugh.

Can't wait to see some of the output from your new toy unregistered190.

........
Do you intro the plants to HPS a few days before you switch to 12/12?

KK, i go straight to HPS 12/12 from Veg.
.........

I don't think I had any issue with that either......BUT. I've gone to a 600W MH for a week or two before I go into my flower box.
So far it's been working out well. It is worth noting that in flower I'm running 3600w on a mover over a 10x7 grow space, so I think the girl can use a intermediate bump in luminosity before going in. I've noticed less shock and burnt leave. I also made big changes to air circulation in there at the same time I added the MH so I can't say 100% that it stopped the leaf damage.


how often are you replacing your bulbs A/L?

My previous t5 never gave me the luxury of needing to change a bulb....it was quite the piece-o-shit and died before the bulbs did

Do you still have the fixture?

If so you can get a ballast at HomeDepot.


Here a pair of DIY T5's from HD. They sell a tandem 4' (for a combined 8' )
I cut them in half, mounted some boxes I had and walla a 54 HO T5 light fixture and ballast for less the a $100. I've run them 24/7 for about two years now.







I've run two sets of bulbs through them so far and no issues. I change them out @ once a year. Been ordering most of my bulbs ( and most of my other stuff for that matter) from http://www.plantlightinghydroponics.com/.
Here's there T5 page http://www.plantlightinghydroponics.com/fluorescent-grow-bulbs-c-1256_73.html

Last time I went to recharge my Carbon filter I just ordered a new one from them and skipped the mess. Seemed cheaper the ordering a box of carbon. I order my MB from them in 16lbs buckets for $69 and with my drain to waste system it keeps my nute cost down. I mix @ 200 gallons of nutes a week, at that cost I don't even give it a second thought.(waste my a$$....)


Be Safe,
MK:ying:

Oh yeah, THAT kind of herb. TRUE headstash. I know exactly what you mean.


I know TK very well. whats the DMT in the mix?

DMT = an isolated phenotype from Sour Bubble Bx1 Ix1 - via Grindhouse Seed Co. The first time I ever saw / heard about a DMT pheno was when Zoolander posted his female back around 2009 or so...and it was truly one of the most impressive Sour Bubble phenos I'd ever seen. How or what Steele did with the line to isolate and breed the DMT expression to a point where there was a breeding male, I'm not sure the exact details - but I know it was nearly 4 years before anything with the DMT name sake ever surfaced for the market...

So really, think of it as a heavily worked, isolated expression from within old Sour Bubble Bx1 Ix1 stock...

STS will make a female plant throw seeds. Lots of seeds. No pollen collected. Just spray your fav female that you wanna make seeds of and sit back & watch the magic :biggrin:

Anyone who grows in florida has balls. i spent a lot of my life in florida and still have my boat down there, but would never risk it. such a fucked up state with laws and crime.

I love to fish, surf, dive, boat, spearfish, snorkel, and what not, so florida is a paradise. i wish i never had to live out west. im not a mountain dude...im a tropical ocean kinda person.

FUCK THE POLITICANS AND CORRUPTION...god i wish i could live in florida permanently and do what i do.


autoflowers from november-may would be so legit though heh
