Lowlife's Auto White russian feminization project

I recently bought 10 auto white russian seeds from LL. It took 7 business days from London to the US.

This is a breeding project to create feminized seeds. This is a hobby for me. 100% organic the whole way... well except for subculture. I will start spraying CS (from here on out colloidal silver will be referred to as CS).

I germinated all 10, and 9 out of the 10 are out of the soil with first set of true leaves after about a week. They're are in 1 gallon pots in 1/3 perlite, 1/3 FFOF, 1/3 FFLW under a 400w in 4'x2' cabinet with temps always at 77.6. All the females will be transplanted into 2 gallon pots before flowering begins. Edit: Forgot to mention that I add 1.5 tbsp of oyster shells per gallon of soil.

Here's a picture of them right now:

This is a shot of all of them:

These are individual shots of each of them:

I keep the EJ line if I run into any deficiencies, also mycorrhizae, subculture (the only thing that not organic), molasses for the beneficials and fulvic acid for ph down. I use distilled water with 1/2 tsp of fulvic acid to 6.5 or make a tea.

Here is my male chamber, it has pollen filters over the fan and intake so that no pollen escapes. It has negative air pressure and the fan does 32 cfm; it was from radio shack. There is weather sealant strips around the lid.

The best male and best female will be kept in this box to have male and female seeds in case the colloidal silver doesn't work. The rest of the females will be sprayed with CS.

Here is a picture of my CS generator. I couldn't find the normal glass that I produce it in, so I grabbed a wine glass. The 99.995% pure silver rods are held by a piece of pond liner rubber. Its hooked up to a 10v 1200ma power inverter and usually left on about 10 hours. I will spray the females every day, twice a day, until they produce male pollen sacks.

I will be updating as needed. Please be patient and you probably don't need to see a picture of them daily... probably more like weekly.

Great hobby I think the way breeders get fem seeds are from same sexed plants phemo’s. Correct me if I am wrong? How are you gonna go about it?

Eh, so a little less then 7 days... more like 5 days, but I'm bored and this doesn't take long.

Update:

Everything is going well and they are starting to take off. They haven't shown sex yet... but pretty soon. I keep a detailed log, so I will know the exact days for each and get an average. I'll also be keeping phenotype records.

Hi anikas88, sneakinman13 & Sammet :wave:

Happy to have you all here.

anikas88, the project is as far along as you can see. Those pictures were posted last night.

sneakinman13, I mostly use the Ej line as a suppliment to what is already available to them in the soil. I never just add it to water and give to the plants, I always bubble it for at least 24 hours with some EWC, molasses and whatever else... depending on what stage of growth they're at.

Sammet, I haven't seen a CS run either... sorta why I'm doing this. Hopefully everything turns out right. Hopefully PhenoMenal will pop in and say if I'm doing this right or not.

Its a kind of weird project in the sense that they're autoflowers and I'm feminizing them.

I found out my CS generator wasn't working. So I ran down to the store and got some 9v batteries and an attachment, after 9-10 hours the water is swimming with silver particles.

Well, I'll update when I think I need to. If anybody has any questions feel free.

Very cool grow! I would love to do basically this same thing for this coming spring/summer. Keeping an eye out for more Lowlife seeds to become available and keeping an eye on this thread!

Where did you get the silver rods u are using to make the CS?

I love this male/female chamber you made. Great idea for those of us want to keep males and females in the same room.

updates?

I used CS for LR#2, sprayed once a day for 2 weeks and bananas started to show up. 2 weeks and bananas grew bigger and filled the area that was sprayed with CS. I been checking the bananas, but no pollen.

I'm doing this exact grow, 'cept mine aren't feminized. And we're almost at the same spot, mine are about 9 days old. I'll post pics in a bit. I'm stoked because I just smoked some White Russian and it was great.
