Its a fact that with speculation fem seeds aren't good for the long run. But people like me with little resources, it doesn't matter to me I'll take my chances, results is what matters. I'm grateful that there are many ways to make to make fem seeds instead of reg seed but there is pros and cons for both.

i have kept moms from fem seeds over 3 years alive with no problems and harvested 20-40 cuts every 14-20 day...the most important fact in my knowledge is that u keep the seed mother not the clone for work because the O.mom grow always bigger better healthier and quicker that means more cuts more vigor in less time....but i have also kept clones from fem seeds for maybe 3 years in a row but with these clone moms its definitely better to renew the mom cut from time to time because they grow to tall and lanky otherwise......so i don´t think there is a expiration date for fem clones other than for reg clones but that is just my opinion....

Linux, but can you back up that statement with the growing experience? I cant help but feel you're still speculating based on rumours, and not going on any personal growth experience

Your right I dont have any personal experience as though I am a newbie who is learning. But that doesn't matter since my statements are not rumors, everything I said is backed backed up by other member's statement in this forum who has far more knowledge when it comes to growing, which I provided a link in my previous comment. As again I have nothing againt with fem mothers or seeds, I'm also trying/experimenting myself to make fem seeds which I find very amazing. I have an 8 month old BF LSD mother which came from a fem seed, and shes a very healthy and happy mother, all tough 8 months is nothing. I just try to be open minded.

By the way, the Tiresias Mist is working like a charm.
I sprayed the whole plant twice a day for about 10 days. Then realized I was running out. It has been getting one spray a day since then.

The nodes have small white hairs but the rest of the plant looks male. If this were a regular grow, I would have tossed the plant, it looks male.

So far, so good.

Good News! Today I just started to see male sacs on my Dutch Passion Auto Blueberry at all the nugs I have been spraying with 21ppm colloidal silver for the past 4 days. I found out and verified that yellow color CS is the best solution to get fast and successful results for male flowers.

My attempt didn't seem to work? I sprayed once a day for about 3 weeks, but the plant just seemed to have stopped growing all together.

I shall make a new batch and try again. :)

Finally huge balls! I used only 21 ppm and i got this from my auto dutch passion blueberry. I also i got balls on my BF LSD as well.

Take a look at the pic. Its my dutch passion auto blueberry.

But one this is funny. The balls are getting huge some are sprouting but i do not see any pollen inside them! Whats going on wrong here? I took some out and i open the ball sacs, i don't see any pollen what so ever. :thinking:

question for anyone that cares to answer. i can only cook my cs for around two hours a day. i only used pure distilled wated and 99.99%pure silver rods. my power source is 12vdc 1000mamp. on the first day it cooked to 10ppm. on the second day it cooked to 18ppm. on the third day it cooked to 20 ppm, than on the fourth day i cooked it for an extra half hour and now its at 19ppm. got me puzzeled.
 
is this the only way to produce a spray for female seeds? I maybe wrong but I thought there were material you could buy online , mix them and spray to produce the same effect as the collodial silver method?

there are other methods. one of them is with silver thiosulfate solution.


from what i understand STS is considerably more toxic than CS so more care must be taken when using it.

...CS works, it's cheap and easy to make AND it's safe to use, ...WAY safer than STS anyway, ...so for me, using CS over STS is a no-brainer.
