Orange zkittles breeding project

[changeofpace2014]

I posted the plants were not topped when one of you asked...That is incorrect, I did top them 1 time.

Ck the reaction of your plants is what I expected but nothing....my run is bust with 12v....I will run it again with 35 v but that will have to wait now.. Total count 3 branches used, 2 to c.s and 1 to turning....

For the money Franklin' choice is cheaper and same PPM. Seems PPM is the selling point. Some for health and some for horticulture etc etc.... Probably same product that marketeers got a hold of and hyped it till the sell was on.LOL. Silver is 28$ a OZ. Aqueous solutions holding heavy metals, Far out and groovy stuff. Reading time. Hows them orange Skittles doing?

Ty Franklin . I did a trial by fire last year.

I used this last year with great success.

That would work, I bought a cheap spray bottle and use this, which seems a lot cheaper Liquid Silver Solution, 16 Oz, 50 PPM, Silver MTN Minerals, (Medical Purity Silver, Most Bioavailable colloidally Suspended Nano particulates) https://a.co/d/cFWWoX2

GWE had a few articles about it

Thanks Franklin for the clarification. I did the S1 thing last year. Didn't know it was called that.

https://www.amazon.com/Plant-Feminiz.../dp/B083BGQXQR - Will this work for this process or is all advertised a gimmick?

Broke on of the lower branches off, moving her out of the rain..It was one that was being sprayed with cs...I think my run of cs is bust...I used 12v but expected the spayed branch to be all F...up by now...,nothing....Will run that again with 35 v...Plan be took another lower branch and trying to turn her around...I hope so..she has been receiving transition nutes and only one full flower feeding. What I have realized is "if one suspects they have a special plant" take a clone just in case you want to preserve the genetics, then you can screw around with c.s..

very unique smell, one of the smells that kind of dance on your tongue. Habanero peppers are the same way, they smell so good or at least the mexican orange ones but dam there just Smoken Hot..

Strange growth from seed, usually see that with clones and that is the reason a manifold can not be built or at least successfully..

Great questions! F1 means filial 1 and it's the first generation from a hybrid cross. Most of the corn you eat, for instance, is f1 because those crosses result in something called hybrid vigor. They grow bigger and stronger. This happens only when two very inbred lines are crossed together. It's pretty amazing, you can take two crap strains and produce amazing pants by crossing them. In fact, you would not want to grow or eat the parents of the corn that we do grow or eat.

Us cannabis pollen chuckers aren't very bright though, so we use the term f1 to refer to any cross between two strains. F2 would be if you then took the children of this cross and crossed them

S1 means self generation 1, it is when you cross a plant with itself. You take a female clone, use chemicals to make it turn make, and then use that pollen on the female. Actually now that I think about it I don't know why we put a number on it because how would s2 even be possible if you're selling? As I said, we're not very bright. 😆😆

[Ckbrew]

What does it mean when you refer to F1 or S1 etc. Some type of nomenclature about selecting generations I presume? Is this a genetic tree designation?

[Franklin]

Yeah man! Those look great. That orange smell will just build and build as they ripen, your neighbors will think you planted orange trees.
