A ? about donor plants & silver

[SoOrbudgal]

I'm not seeing any swollen calyx looking like a seed pod.

Reading that I see it could be taken as rude- I hope it didn't git taken that way.

That's what I heard too so I timed it for an Aug 16thish chop..... if the girls had made it to 9wks as should've been expected....

Find the thread "Making feminized seeds" by FunkyButtLovin

There is tutorials one the growweedeasy.com site 👍🏻

Isn't that the mix? 50/50 water & peroxide? It's the 3%.
But anyways the point at hand is do you think I killed the pollen with the moisture?

[FunkyButtLovin]

I've never used peroxide near my plants so I couldn't tell ya if that had anything to do with anything. I also don't know anything about large particle silver.

I don't see any seeds in the pic, hopefully there are some in there somewhere.

hi i am a novice this might be a bit advanced but if iright your spraying a femal with silver she pollinating without a male and the seeds are femenized can u set up some instruction orjust reply happy harvest

[FunkyButtLovin]

I've heard up to 6 weeks. Mine are usually cut down around 4.5 weeks after pollination and I'd say 95% are ripe at that stage. I am sure there are some types that take longer. I've pulled seeds from living plants around 3.5 weeks after pollination and grew them out. I had mother and daughter autoflowers growing together for a few days before mom got the chop.

But then I can't see any seeds forming anyways & remembering the control spraying that vostok mentioned I can't help but wonder if I killed all my pollen with hydrogen peroxide whilst chasing WPM??? & maybe that's also why I didn't get the mountain of pods ya'll do?? Or could that be because I used large particle silver? Does that make a difference?

Or are there seeds my untrained eye is missing?

[JDU]

Well shit. The girls are finishing too fast. It's only been 6wks since they started flowering & were 1st exposed to pollen & 3 since I pulled the donor. It takes up to 6wks for seeds to ripen- right? ........ Idk if 3 of these girls are gonna make 3 more wks. They are purple n ambering up pretty quick.

[JDU]

Hey thanks everyone for walkin me through this & bein patient. It's been a fun grow.
Well- We'll see how I did in 4-6wks I guess. Free seeds for all if I did good!
I never did git a mountain of pods..... (Could that be because I used Large particle silver?) so I let it go for 6wks pollinating naturally, clipped the heads & shook em out over the top of & brushed the 3wk old flowers & tossed the donor. Next day I took them all out of the tent, misted it good, turned off the AC & zipped it up till it hit 60% & 95°F for 10min or so then put the girls back in when it got back to 35% & 80°.

[JDU]

That would be amazing- just as good would be to bump your thread again & I'll post so I can find it for myself lol. That was a great thread.

[JDU]

Not a problem Amigo thanks.
So they started to crack on the 16th & on the 19th a whole bunch opened. That would've been 1 day before 4wks of spray. I collected a bunch of them to dry. Sat will be 5wks & a few open every day & I pluck the few that look like they're about ready to open.
