Diary PCBuds mini-grow

My seed is ready !!

I planted it.

I don't bury the seed under the soil anymore, because I found that I just can't LIFTA and I would end up digging it up in a couple of days.

I can see it now, so I don't have to dig for it. Lol

It amazes me just how much they shrink in 24 hours. Making the time of weighing, and the photo being taken, big influences.

Yeah, the difference was quite noticeable. It really shrunk up.
Especially with the closet being 95°F and 30% RH.

I installed a new intake filter in the closet.

I took apart and cleaned and oiled my intake fan.

I cleaned my circulation fan.

And I installed another circulation fan.

I'm hoping that increased circulation will help fend off mold.

This last plant had REALLY dense buds.
You'd almost need compressed air to blow air through the buds. Lol

 

[PCBuds]

I was just wondering,...

Can you reverse sex a male plant ?

I can't think of any reason why anyone would want to do that though.
I was just wondering if you pissed off a male plant with Silver Thiosulfate or Colloidal Silver it would put out female flowers ?

I guess I'm asking if male plant can herm, or is it only females ?

 

[PCBuds]

My closet is a little cool at 70°F with just the ceiling lights on, so I added 200 Watts of incandescent heat.

I've read threads here where people have talked about it - its doable!

 

[f-e]

Yup. Not with silver though.

Silver blocks the ethylene receptors. Without which being a girl isn't an option. No amount of banana skins is going to change that. I don't think a male plant would even notice a silver solution.

People here have done it, but I don't take the information on board.

Why would somebody want to do that ?

I know that you reverse a female to make feminized seeds, so would you reverse a male to make masculinized seeds ?

What the hell for ?

Some kind of Cannibis sperm bank ?

I remember when I was about 15 years old and had a Venus Fly Trap.

I fed it a piece of bacon and killed it.


Around the same time, I bought a Piranha.
I bought the 2" version for 10 bucks, because the 6" version was 50 bucks.

I fed it polluted minnows that I caught and killed it.


I rescued 2 baby Blue Jays and tried to save them.

They died.


I rescued a baby squirrel and tried to save it.

It died.




I tend to kill everything.

Some people have green thumbs.
Not me.


It's actually kinda strange that I managed to grow something that I can smoke ?
Lol

 

[PCBuds]

My Cat !!,...

I've had my cat now for over 7 years and she isn't dead !!


I forgot about that.
She is a pretty tough Cat though.

I guess that I didn't kill everything...

She kinda looks dead, but she's just sleepy.

 

[Frosty Nuggets]

That's because cats have 9 lives.

 

[PCBuds]

That's because cats have 9 lives.

I'm sure that she still has a couple left. Lol

lol

If you have a good breeding male, you may want seeds of it. Perhaps looking for a little genetic drift, or to post it around the world. Maybe you just want it again in 10 years time, as the tax man has you in court tomorrow. The only way to get that male in seed form, is to make a girl version. No other girl will do. You must use that boy to make the girl. Then yes, I guess all the seeds will be boys. With no genetic material added from another plant.

I had a cat that lived 15 years until a coyote got him.

OK. Thanks.
I get it now.

That sucks.
My cat has managed to stay out of trouble so far.
I've never heard of coyotes in our town. I hope that they don't find their way here.

She'll be an indoor cat if that ever happens.

 

[PCBuds]

My seed has lifted up above the soil.

I'm putting drops of water on the shell every couple of hours to help keep it soft.

The closet has warmed up to 84°F with the two old school bulbs going.

I unplugged the intake fan to help keep the heat in the closet.
Now it's just the two circulation fans going.

Its mentioned here: https://www.icmag.com/forum/marijua...hed-and-nurtured-kind?p=11648552#post11648552

it was a thread from a few years back where dank frank was popping some very old seeds and found a prized plant the exhibited amazing terps, but it was a male. zif mentioned "reversing with ethephon" to save the genetics.

 

[PCBuds]

She's coming along...

 

[PCBuds]

The top of the planter and the seed were looking pretty dry, so I spayed down the soil and the seed.


I used a reasonable amount of LIFTA because I don't want to drown her or start any mold.

I think she needs to be moist until her helmut comes off.
