I'm surprised by how many seeds I got from that little bud so that's a result.

I cut down the male a few days back, it didn't seem practical to keep them around until I tested the offspring.

I harvested more seeds last night, its still a bit sticky so I'm going to let it dry properly before continuing.

I've only done the bottom two buds and there's 101 seeds so there's going to be more than enough.

Next I'm going to try making some under t5s and I'm also going to try to reverse my exo.

It works out at 40p a day to heat and light the tent on 12-12 so its really difficult not to continue with others.

The harvest so far.

Apparently if sts fails maybe try cobalt it can work you don't get so many seeds but being a heavier metal it should work blocking ethylene production like cs or sts does they used it for donkeys on other plants but for canna there's not much out there on it but reading up on it I can't see why It wouldn't work just a back up plan and that

Effects of cobalt on plants - The Botanical Review

Cobalt, a transition element, is an essential component of several enzymes and co-enzymes. It has been shown to affect growth and metabolism of plants, in different degrees, depending on the concentration and status of cobalt in rhizosphere and soil. Cobalt interacts with other elements to form...

I was wondering what stress methods were used back in the day, idk how long sts has been used for I'm assuming it's a relatively new thing?

Thanks for the link bud I'll check it out its another option to consider.

Id think messing with the roots to reverse it was popular for a bit but it results in herms alot like seeds from if you let it go too long using rodelisation Vs chemical reversals
 
It's not too bad in our area anything from £80-£120 and Oz all kinds a lot of cheese master kush lemon kush been some lovely pollen about. I'm just starting a grow. Been waiting for the weather to start to warm up. And my new lights. I have been using the old blurples and when I say old I mean 8 years old. I just got a new spider farmer sf2000 pro evo can't wait to see the difference in the new technology roll on the next 3-4 months. As starting from seed

Can you get sealed verified legit jungle boys packs and sealed cookies packs for 150 a zip? Because I'm paying £70 for 3.5 grams for sealed legit jungle boys cali packs or £500 on the ounce imported from California off the dark web so it would be great if you could get it for 150 on a zip. or are you talking about star dawg for 150 a zip? There's just no way you can get cali weed cookies weed or jungle boys weed imported for £150 on the zip. They charge 50 dollars on the 3.5 in the jungle boys stores so there's no way you can get that sort of weed imported for £150 a zip?

Also, american weed isn't the same genetics as UK genetics. It's totally different genetics with totally different names, they do use the same equipment though. It's just controlled more Professionally when it comes to the VPD and the environment when compared to the average UK home grower and they do use a lot better genetics. That's why you have to pay a lot more for the seeds. It's designer weed. But It doesn't mean you can't produce cali grade in the UK though. You just need the right genetics and the best environment for your plants and you need the right phenotypes.

I'm not trying to take a dig at you or anything but I doubt the stuff you are getting for 150 a zip is imported from California. It's just cali grade stuff that was grown in the UK. It's probably Albanian star dawg. Most people don't want to spend £500 a pack on the latest cali weed seeds. Most peoples budget is £10 a seed or less. What you need to realize is that people like me don't mind spending £1,000 on a pack of the best cali seeds in the world. Because we have got customers lined up that don't mind paying £100 on the 3.5 but most people don't like spending more than £25 on the 3.5. There's just no way you can get it imported for 150 a zip. And people who spend thousands on a rare pack of cali seeds or get it imported from california aren't going to let a 3.5 go for £25, they have to Recoup there money back off the seeds they spent £1,000 on or the risk that it takes getting it here from California and the price it costs in California. There's a lot of star dawg going around for 150 a zip though if that's what you are talking about?


Anyway, here's a picture of some real Cali weed that I grew out, these seeds cost me $450 for 12 seeds and there's no way in hell I would sell a zip for £150, I would have to sell 3 ounces just to recoup my money off the seeds I bought if I sold it for 150 a zip and most of these cali grows I do are lucky to yield 20 ounces of dried bud. The yeilds are a lot lower compared to most strains. I wouldn't even break even on the amount of money I have spent on the equipment and the electric and the labour I have put into this grow if I sold it for that price. A lot of these cali strains are very difficult to grow too, they are very challenging to grow. You even get retarded plants and retarded growth. I can show you how retarded some of them grow. and a lot of them look very inbred, you have to go through a lot of inbred seeds and a lot of hermie plants which ends up costing a lot of money to find a keeper. Growing cali weed doesn't appease most growers, but everyones claiming they have got it for a cheap price.

Its definitely imported from cali brother .... as im the one who imports it .. also i didnt say jungle boys , i said cali weed man ... cali is a big place lmao ... the strains im getting at the minute are rainbow runts and cherry diesel .

Regarding your statement on american genetics being better and thats why you pay so much for the seeds ! Lmfao . Ok bro .. you just been drawn in by marketing .. but again ok.


Edit.
Can i also just add , ive been in the game since 1999 bro , i was on this board when it first opened giving out some of the most unknown and hard to get strains and clones back then , ive networked / worked with most of the US breeders, dutch breeders , spanish etc ... im not some over night chump lol .
You happy spending 1000s on a pack of seeds , good for you , not my fault if you like being ripped off ... i have 1000s of packs of seeds from most the big name cali breeders just sitting in my vault lol .. infact Jaws from jaws genetics has just sent me 20 packs of his new crosses just as a thanks... i know bodhi , og raskel , lemonhoko , kendog , karma , ohso , and plenty of others , i speak to them regularly and have group chats on ig with them talking about strains and breeding ... but hey ho what the fuck do i know

Got any karma genetics headbanger you wanna trade ?
 
You can light stress your plants to make them herm but the issue is , if they herm easily you might pass the trait on and any light leaks or lighting issues in future grows could cause the offspring to herm.
