A ? about donor plants & silver

Bump.
Sorry if I sound pushy but I'm thinkin this is kinda time sensitive & I need some experienced instruction. Thanks
 
My apologies, my internet has been so dodgy the last few weeks and I've been super busy.

I think you're getting too antsy, let them develop. I don't remove anything until they start to open naturally on the plant which could take a month or more. They never open all at once, I usually get 2 or 3 that open on the first day and I'll start pollinating that day which is actually today for me. If you want I will take my time and post pics of what I do in this thread today/tonight.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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°.
 
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.

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?

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.
 
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
 
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.
 
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?
