1 fem clone with 6 regulars yet to show sex, all these plants are related, came from a 5 pack of Ethos genetics. Keep pollen chucking, I've been having a hard time getting seeds into AU lately.



Also for anyone who hasn't tried, I really recommend it, my doc has got me on a high CBD low THC oil, taking that orally then smoking a couple green cones is probably one of the best experiences I've ever felt. The two together just go, like warm fuzzy, melting on the edge of falling into the K Hole type highs I've been having the last 6 days, very addictive feeling hahaha, pain, what pain? Works a treat. Sleep has improved 1000%

Thats gd news mate well done...
As for the pollen chucking im going to look into it myself next run in my tent now outdoors has finished
We all need to ger our stocks of beans up

I'm trying to sneak in one more breeding session outside in my ALDI greenhouse, nights are getting cold early this year, it might not happen.

@Rewerb a run down on how you made those ib seeds if you may
Run any yet etc etc
Basically just 30ppm Colloidal Silver sprayed 1-2 times a day on the nodes of a known female clone as it was flipped to 12/12 until the balls start appearing (a couple of weeks). Then introduced another female into the same tent.

By the time the sacks were starting to open, the recipient female was ready to receive the pollen. When the sacks were all bursting, I shook the plant over the recipient female & turfed the donor/reversed plant into compost.

I didn't think it worked, so pulled the plant when it looked ready. It wasn't until I started breaking-apart buds to go into oil that I noticed there were actually seeds (Hundreds of them!). There were a lot of immature seeds that I threw out, but ended-up with a film canister full of the rest.

I soaked 18 seeds when you previously asked me about viability & 13 of them popped. I gave away a few & kept some for myself that I grew-out with varying degrees of success in crap soil outside. A couple of different pheno's came out, which surprised me, since both parents were clones from the same plant.

Next time I make seeds, I'll use STS rather than CS, as it apparently only takes 1-2 applications about 5 days apart, rather than daily spraying.

Cheers for the info brother
This method u used means they are fem.seeds pretty much ?

Yep! Start with two KNOWN females (clones are great for doing this). Reverse one with STS/CS & use the pollen produced by it to "inseminate" the other. You can either collect pollen in advance & freeze it for future use (then give the tent a bloody-good clean, soas not to get stray pollen into a subsequent run), or do it the way I did, with a staggered introduction of the recipient plant. Then clean the tent anyway.

You can even spray a single branch of one plant & let it self-pollinate the rest of the plant, but I've read somewhere that's not neccessarily best-practice.

The "donor" is fundamentally female, so the pollen you're forcing it to produce will have the same female chromozome, so you get feminised seeds as the outcome. Kinda like forcing them to have hot lesbian sex, but actual offspring are produced, rather than just getting sweaty & messy:D

I don't understand the biology behind it (something to do with suppressing ethylene), all I know is that it works. All the seeds I produced & grew-out were females, with no signs of hermies at all.

No more getting packages from O/S nabbed by Customs;)

Shh... You can even do it with autos, but you have to start them a couple of weeks apart IIRC.
