Does this look like a normal reversal with Colloidal silver?

Is this looking good after two weeks of twice daily Colloidal silver?

Reversal ? ..... What are you trying to do

 

[itza419]

Feminized pollen.. Thanks.

No.

That plant looks like it's flowering but I don't see any pollen sacs. Where did you get the silver? It doesn't look like it took. The silver thiosulfate method is much more reliable and only requires a couple of applications. It's made from sodium thiosulfate and silver nitrate. That's the method I use.

Here is a treated female clone forming pollen sacs like a male.

I made it..Well it may have degraded..I made new on Monday..I have sacs on lower branches however the tops look iffy.

You'll need to start over unless the lower branches produce viable pollen. You should look into the STS method I use. It's much more reliable and easier to use. More so than making colloidal silver. Colloidal silver works but STS is just easier providing you can obtain the chemicals.

I agree with xtsho on the STS method. I was spraying cs forever and finally got a small amount of pollen. With the STS I sprayed I think 5 or 6 times and that was it. Much easier to achieve results with the STS.

Do you think it has a chance for the tops to put out sacs? I'll keep hitting her until the mother plant to the right is ready for pollen.

Those pictures are better and I can see male goodies growing. If it isn't already get the mother into 12/12. Those balls will be ready in a couple weeks.

If you do it right you'll have a bunch of fem seeds.

Apply the pollen somewhere around 3-4 weeks into 12-12. That’s the time frame I use. That way when your girl is ready to harvest, you get both bud and seeds.

If you're just pollinating a lower branch or two they can be left on the plant to allow the seeds to ripen after the bulk of the plant is cropped. Don't even have to be kept in 12/12 light the last couple weeks for the seeds to ripen fine. And the plant may reveg while you're waiting if you want to get clones or veg it and get a 2nd crop off it.

I need to make some more colloidal silver as there are a couple plants I'd like to try it on.

 

[kkt3]

Yes, my watermelon is looking very very happy!! Already did the sts on that one and gonna be pulling seeds in about a week. Have a bunch of others that I’m gonna clone and sts to get me a few more of my favs!!

So...after the seeds are developed, they CAN go back to veg lighting to finish?

If the seeds aren't quite ripe when the main buds are ready for cropping you can leave the seeded branch on and maybe a few branch stubs with small buds on them going up the stem and put it under 18/6 light with the vegging plants and the seeds will still ripen and within a month the plant should either reveg or die. Either way you'll end up with ripe seeds.

To reveg just feed the plant a little base nutes with some N in it and keep it on the edge of the garden where the light is a little lower and water as usual. Usually within 3 weeks you'll start seeing little single-bladed leaves growing out of the buds and you're on the way to a fast growing second round.
