Could use some advice

So I'm planning on spraying an autoflower (feminized) with colloidal silver 50ppm and I was wondering when should I start spraying the plant? Should it be as soon as is it shoots some hairs? How often should I spray it with CS? I also plan to have 3 other strains going about 2 weeks behind the plant that's going to sprayed so I can get a bundle of different AUTO seeds.

Another question I have is if the plant that's sprayed with CS seeds itself are these seeds going to be ok to use? In other words if It seeds itself woulf those seeds be like a clone?

Would appreciate any information on the subject from folks that have knowledge and more experience.

Thanks for reading.

can you also try platinum and gold?? dont want to de-rail the topic cause i hear there are different properties in liquid gold/platinum

I wouldn't do it... I don't care for autos in the first place... And I generally frown on chemical additives in any capacity, no matter what the type of plant...

Okay. Anyone else have some advice?

Honestly I don't care for autos either for obvious reasons. But it's just a side project for me and I have seen some really nice product come from autoflowers, they're also small and fun to toy with.

They're perfect for side projects that call for little space and a T5.

Sure! I'd grow some for a side project myself-no questions asked... I'd actually love to try growing some autos one day... They're just so small, and I view them as something for beginners moreso than for a vet grower... But, as an addition, or side-project, I'd say they'd be great for any serious cultivator... I've only heard a lil about the CS before... Isn't it something for inducing hormonal changes?

Yes, it stresses the plant causing females to grow male pods/balls, since the pollen comes from a female all seeds produced are feminized. It's really the only thing you can do with autos since they can't be cloned.. Well, they CAN be cloned but it's just a waste of time as you can't veg the clones.

Anyway, it's something to tinker with.

Would be nice to have a batch of about 1,000 feminized auto beans with 3 different strains crossed.

I too was totally against them until I received a freebie from the tude. It was a dinafem fruit AUTO and she yielded a little over 1.5 ounces. She was squat, didnt take up much room and lived her life under a T5, I was impressed.
