Making feminized seeds

[MrToad69]

Dinafem's description of Quick Gorilla shows that Autoflowering comes from one parent...It's a photo crossed with an Auto...breeding will not provide stable offspring.

My first attempt looks decent. Self pollinated auto. Time to drop a few and see if it's viable seeds or not.

The gist of making feminized cannabis seeds:

- Make or buy some 30ppm+ Colloidal Silver
- Veg a candidate female
- Put said female into flower
- Immediately start spraying the CS on all potential bud sites on the female, at least once per day (you can do individual branches if you want)
- Keep spraying for about 3-4 weeks, and stop once the pollen sacks start to form
- Move the plant to a separate flowering area to eliminate cross-pollination risks of other flowering female plants
- Collect the pollen, mix it in a 2/3 baking flour to 1/3 pollen ratio
- Store the pollen in a cool, dark area

- Take a female plant that's been flowering for about three weeks
- Using a small artist's paintbrush, brush the pollen mixture onto all of the budsites you want to produce seeds
- Flower the plant as normal
- Collect seeds

Do NOT smoke or otherwise use any of the branches that you've sprayed with CS. Throw it away.

I use a dedicated cabinet for my pollen plants (both male and female), and a separate flowering tent for pollinated plants and other experiments.

Where do I get this so called CS? And how much is it to buy. I’m from Canada by the way, New Brunswick to be exact

Make it.Colloidal silver ..daisy chain 2 9v batteries together..need solid silver coin or wire..copper wire and distilled water..and some copper wire..plenty if instruction online

I'm going to try sts next. Cs worked, but is prefer to just spray 1-2 times and be done.

You'd be better off going with the STS method Silver Thiosulfate. You can buy the 2 chemicals needed off of ebay for under $50 Canadian.

Applying Silver Nitrate & Sodium Thiosulfate Mixture for Fem Pollen

This is the mixture I plan to use (first time - feedback welcome) 0.1 grams Silver Nitrate + 100ml H2O 0.5 grams Sodium Thiosulfate + 100ml H2O + 500ml H2O Glass Jar For female pollen sacks- Fem Seeds (do not ingest these chemicals- wear nitrile(?) gloves when applying) My question is this...

If you want to make CS it's easy

How to Make COLLOIDAL SILVER (Easy)

How to Make COLLOIDAL SILVER (Easy): Colloidal Silver is the most potent disinfectant and antiseptic, and on-contact killer of viruses, bacteria, fungi and all kinds of germs. My guess is, if you want to make it, you probably know what is does, and how it has been used for the last 3,0…

Sts mixed and applied. Now let's see how it works out.
Question- do I store the rest if the solution? If so, how and how long?

The individual solutions should last for months. The mixed solution should last for a few weeks but will degrade over time and be less effective. You want to store all solutions in in a cool dark location. Dark containers that prevent light are reccomended. Glass or plastic but not metal.

I have a dark brown glass spray bottle for it. So it's probably best if I make a new batch if not used soon?

It should keep long enough to spray every 5 days a few times. You should be seeing male flowers forming by then. But it's best to mix what you're going to be spraying at the time your spraying.

STS has worked it's magic. I was concerned that i didn't mix it right or just bad luck because it seemed to take a bit to see pollen sacs form, but it defiantly did. I bought some CS out of "panic" I guess you could say, but I talked myself out of using and just being patient, glad I did.
Now I find myself wanting to cross everything. I don't see a huge downside other than seedy bud, but I may end up with a couple of crosses I like, but then I'll probably cross them with some other strain....will it end?
I want to add, I don't pollinate every plant, just every strain, as I run clones a couple times of them and phase out to the next strain.
