I have always heard the strength of the colloidal silver is suppose to be 50ppm
Roderization is just letting the plant go as long as you can and since it didn’t get pollinated it self “pollinates” to stay “alive”… plants are far more advanced than us… wish I could self pollinate and live longer…lol…

I’ve done enough self pollination in my life. I prefer to pollinate females. LOL.

When I was cutting monster cropped clones for my cloner I cut 3 baby cuttings about 3 inches long and threw them into a peat pot and domed them. No roots on the bubble cloner but this little cutie is peeking out. 22 days.
I’m going to use them to try to either force them to herme or if the roderization works on the plant I have in flower now I will use that pollen to pollinate this plant. I am thinking now that because of the time it takes to reveg monster crops I might just do regular clones and get my plants into production much faster even if they are less robust. Quick question. Should I try and remove the peat pot or just plant the whole thing?

Chopped everything except one cola and I’m going to try the rodelization method. Anybody out there try it? Should I do some other things to stress her? Split the stem? 24 hrs. of light? Inquiring minds want to know.
I got a dozen or so seeds on an older plant… I left some bud on every one to see what happens…

What happened? I don’t know if I’m going to be able to stress this one enough to produce pollen. Her sister clone got half the plant broken off at 3 or 4 weeks. I beat the crap out of her every day dragging her in and out. I missed waterings and feedings. This is the last shot. If she won’t start throwing out nanners now, she won’t ever. I had about 20% amber when I cut her so I estimate a week to 10 days to see if she starts trying to pollinate herself. Does that sound about right?
I still have 3 or so weeks… I will have to chime in later…

We have 500 million non-feminized CBD hemp seeds they be perfect for a large large grow in Mexico
I can barely take care of 2 or 3 plants. lol
Here’s a pic of the bud I tried to rodelize.
Here’s a pic of the thrichs.
Looks like Trump’s hair. LOL. I would definitely say she was past optimum harvest time. LOL. This was a clone from a DP seed from ILGM. I have never seen a plant of any kind take the abuse that was heaped on her. She was one tough bitch. Next is the colloidal. I have 5 monster clones all revegged and doing well. I am also searching for the compounds needed to make STS. I am bound and determined to produce feminized pollen and I would really like it to be from this strain cause like I said, she’s one tough bitch and that’s what my climate requires.

I think the plant you treat with silver needs to be put into flower about 3 weeks before the female you’re pollinating to allow the plant to mature enough to make pollen. I’ll try to look through my notes and confirm that. It’s too bad she didn’t give you any seeds, but at least now you know you’ve got a few tough bitches that aren’t going to hermie on you.

That was my thinking. If I can get pollen off of her I am going to produce my own female seeds and I won’t have to wait 4 to 6 months for them. Right now I have sprouted a Crown Royal and a Chocolope for a friend and I will be able to get clones off both of those as well as the DP. I also have WW that has just started it’s third set of leaves and I’ll be cloning the crap out of her also. After massacring enough cuttings to build a tiki hut I have finally gotten proficient and confidant enough to grow just clones. I only know 2 hobby growers within a 500 mile radius and they are growing bag seeds. Once Mexico legalizes I’ll be way ahead on my personal plants and be able to help others.

If you’ve got space and energy to keep clones, it’s great and keeps turnaround between harvests down.
Good quality seed is the best way to store long term though. And it’s waaaay easier to swap seeds than clones, haha. Once you get the feminizing process down you’ll be able to keep your own seed bank stocked.

That is my intention.

If I treat an auto with STS and then use that pollen to pollinate a photo is my thinking correct that the seeds will be 99.9% female and a mix of photo and auto seeds?

Please what do you use for cloning since you said your its not so easy to get stuffs in your area?

I think thats correct. Take hermie pollen and pollenate another female of the same strain and get feminized.

I was eventually able to get clonex solution and gel. Here’s a link to my cloner build with a couple of pics.
