Prayin for some balls. I wanna be the man!

Yes at this point it is a race against time. However I do have a back up plan. In last year's grow I had a couple of plants pollinated. I had all females, and no hermies. There are some big commercial grows in the vicinity, but miles away. Maybe a closer neighbor has a grow going, but I don't know. Wind blown pollination is the usual for cannabis, but I am sure insect pollination does happen. That is what I am guessing. Anyhow I had some seeds, and planted a few. One of the seeds resulted in a male that I didn't kill, but planted up the road in a grove of trees. He's a skinny midget, but I will accept a sperm donation if worst comes to worst. The plant has numerous pollen sacks with no flowers so he is a full fledged male. As for genetics his mother was a Jack Herer, but of course the other half of his genetics is a big unkown. I f I don't get my much hoped for balls I will pollinate the colloidal silver treated plant with that pollen. Since you can't use the treated plant for smoking it will at least bear some fruit in seeds, and will not be a complete loss. Three quarters of the genetics will be a known with only the added mystery of 1/4. What would you call this strain White Jack X?

Maybe Jack x WTF..(as in AlaskaThunderFuck)..LMAO (just kidding)

"In PhenoMenal's thread he puts forward, "In the past it has been recommended that you start spraying two weeks before going into 12/12 flowering, and continue spraying until you see pollen develop. This is still the recommended way. However, we now know that it isn't necessary to spray so early. I applied colloidal silver to a female that had been flowering for over 4 weeks, and I only sprayed for 10 days, but still ended up with a plant full of pollen".

My grow presently is outdoors so I have no 12/12 demarcation point. Counting back from a harvest time of mid to late October for White Russian I should be in the ball park. Thanks for the encouragement. Hopefully in a short while I will be able to joyfully exclaim, "I've got balls"!"

Yep..yep..LMAO

Subbed.
I tried to do that not too long ago, mine ended up just growing buds, but things I learned( That you may already Know): start spraying BEFORE they flower, and also use actual colloidal silver, not the new version health food stores are selling now!

Want to see somebody do that without screwin it up like I did! Best of luck Starramus!

I tried to post "yup", but the site requires a certain number of letters in a post so i posted yes sir, yes sir, yes sir sort of.

[Juicyj89]

Lol what??

[Buzzer777]

I followed the directions here, but added some of my own to the mix..Sprayed 40ppm CS X one time per day at the flip..then 2x per day if I say new white pistils..Thin k the magic came when I stopped spraying as the sacs began to open (not before!)..As it was..there was very little pollen, but more than enough for my needs..(20 fems from one..11 fems from another, and only 1 fem seed from the 3rd one pollinated..(WTF..LOL)

Subbed, very interested, more interested after reading through the links

That's bad ass. So you just spray that on the girls right? Or something like that?

[starramus]

To avoid the possibility of plastic contaminants I will use this configuration for my next batch.

[starramus]

I am not so much worried about the volume, but the plastic container the distilled water comes in. There could be a reaction of some sort or other. I am going to switch out to a Pyrex laboratory boiling flask that I have in a number of different sizes.

[Buzzer777]

Just my opinion, but your CS will be made much faster if you make less at one time..IE: Use a QT sized GLASS mason jar with Distilled water.
Sorry pics are out of order..
