A little update Franklin....As you can see; the F1 is Fast, Really Fast...She is a winner...Did she develop this fast for you in the past or is this One Lucky seed really special with the fast flowering...I think around July 19 when she started to flower...

Started spraying two lower branches with C.S to preserve this phenotype....However the C.S is home made with silver rods and 12v over night....and that was the second run...The first I added a little salt so the solution would conduct current but I did not like the milky color, so I ran a second batch "rod is shrinking" with a splash of tap water to add some salts so the current would conduct..Hopefully we will be successful with a dozen or so beans....

The pic name indicates the plant....

Franklin she is for sure a Early Version. I was under the impression that an early strain reduced the flowering time by a few weeks when compared to a photo but your F! has shaved off more then a couple of weeks, so I was wondering if the F1 s your have grown out started flowering in this early ( July 19) or this particular seed (pheno type) is just really really early.. Have to take another pic... The s1 is starting to flower now my s.c x cck x bb cross Nothing yet, and the bb is hanging on as well...So the F1 is truly a little Rock Star,,, You are on the right path but it looks like the F1 is flowering about 3 weeks earlier the the s1...
I like the branching on your cross, and when I compare it to the bb I realize why the bb is so harsh to smoke...all them dam leaves between nodes.
She smells so Dam Good....(: thanks Franklin

That's excellent Franklin sounds great for anyone who has a short season. Way to go with the breeding

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

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. 😆😆

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..

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

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

Ty Franklin . I did a trial by fire last year.
I'm using colloidal silver to force a female plant to become a male to produce pollen. Spraying down the bud sites once a day in the morning just before feeding. I have read about it, but have not seen any pix on what to expect from the plant when the silver is applied except for the end product. The plant is 9 days from flip,

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....
