Question on Pollen Production

i was thinking pm could be killed with cs then again it might cause undesirable flipping. but for root issues i think it has uses the next time i have a root rot issue i will soak in cs water and post the results.

It goes slowly. Balls are growing even on the flowers being sprayed only first 9 days.

Flowers in the bottom were never sprayed and doesn't show male features.



This "old" CS was brewed 2 months back, it didn't lost ppm during its shelf life and works as a fresh !

how do i get some of this CS..? i got 15 strains in flower now and would luv to make some seed.
 
so certainly seeing no new pistil growth and male balls forming on the larry the blue dream is getting less light so its happening slower but i think both will produce pollen in a few weeks.

On the branch sprayed 9-days balls look bigger in compare to 30-days sprayed ones, I'm not sure is the bigger the better will see in the near future.
That drives to make an assumption that principle the more cs the better balls/bananas is probably incorrect and there is optimum somewhere closer to 9-days.

-----------

I reaped in a half one of Sugar_Kremlin (white russian x k2) fem seed-moms. It gives 100 good seeds + immature 20 greenish + 9 pale whitish.
56 days after the first, 30 days after the last pollination, I left the rest for 10 more days to ripe.

I manually reaped the seeds off them, all the clusters were rumpled after that and didn't need pre-wash trimming
EtOH extracted them in 3+ minutes and got an extract of a very suitable dense, its not sticky nor shatter brittle,
it could be brighter if I had butane this time to primary extraction like in the case of ladyboys absolute.



Balls are growing, the 9-days-ers are still bigger vs 30-days-ers.

Has anyone tried using Dutchmaster's Penetrator mixed with their c/s solution? My last c/s attempt failed to produce pollen (most likely my fault for not spraying several times a day), so I'm wondering if the Penetrator will help with absorbtion. Thanks guys!
 
you dont have to spray several times daily but you do need to start 1 week+ from flower and spray at least 1 week+ into flower with a 40+ ppm spray. also some strains will flip real easy some are very difficult to flip.

My first c/s attempt I started spraying 2 weeks prior to 12/12, but I was spraying every 3rd day. I now know I need to spray daily. I don't think several sprays a day will hurt the plant.

I think it was the strain I was working with, as it was extremely difficult to clone and regenerate. Looking forward to trying it again, got a ssh mom that should be ready to clone in the next couple of weeks.:jump:
 
you can kill a plant or branch if you spray too much and the concentration is 40+ ppm its hard to do though and the plant shows stress ahead of time. in my experience all plants that are being sprayed proper show stress and leaf curl this is good and what you want if your plants in flower seem totally un affected then your silver spray is not strong enough.

hey jump when your sprayed plants are in flower and starting to show male features at what point do you discontinue spraying?

circumstances made it so,
the aged 400ml CS was gone on day 28th,
the rest 100ml of 0ppm water was turned to cs ppm47 and sprayed until 30th,
on 30th males win on a branch unsprayed since 9th day, all pistils dried,
I took a pause in spraying thinking now the sex switch is irreversible, will see, not sure,

Wonders of silver bisexuality - metallized leaves curling, balls, calyxes, trichome glands and very first bananas



Bottom shadow is female, calyx shows an alien eye, is it a seed or a ball?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I probably brew some cs to continue spraying on a selected flowers to split them into 3 timing schedules - 9, 30, 30+.
 
the larry is a full on male now not 1 new pistil so im thinking im going to discontinue spraying now as long as i see continued male features and no new fem growth as the cs spraying stunts growth and i want pollen asap.
 
so far this lemon larry og kush reversal is my best result it is weird there is no mix of fem male features simply all male im pleased. the blue dream im still waiting on the lower branches which were sprayed get little light so growth is slow but im confident it to will flip.

Congratulations on Larry's turning into masculinity !
Maple_Leaf is still bisexual and its bottoms never sprayed look a pure female.
Also suppose the alien eye is the seed from early pollination with SK-fem pollen.
Have you noticed such cs action as dark green leaves color like N overdose? I see it for the second time.
Seed moms in the neighborhood feed the same NPK 76-150-271 in late flowering. Their leaves don't show overgreen, I think it goes to seeds.



Will you one-post in the total schedule of Larry's conversion in days, please.
 
well with this plant i sprayed the whole plant so all branches are turning and yes i do notice darker foliage on the sprayed plant as opposed to the un sprayed normal plant. the sprayed plants is also about 75% smaller than its un stressed clone. i did not keep a detailed record for this but i can say that i began spraying the complete plant at about 10 days prior to 12/12 it was in veg on a 24h cycle it was also sprayed with double dose sts once in veg and once in flower for good measure. i continued spraying from when 12/12 started 4/12 all the way until like 5/3. wow i sprayed for much longer than i thought in the last 2 weeks it was not always every day though and i dont plant to spray anymore. im not sure if the continued spraying was needed but i was taking no chances with this one and continued to spray until it obviously was masculinized.
