Some questions about Revegetating and Making Fem Seeds

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I appreciate any advice I can get. :smile:

So I am currently in the middle of 2 projects: The first is revegetating one of my recently harvested plants, the second is making seeds from two active plants. That said:

1) How long will it take the revegetating plant to.. well.. revegetate? I had it on a 12/12 schedule indoors and have now moved it outdoors where the schedule is roughly 14/10 in favor of light. Temperatures have dipped down to 50 degrees at night and the plant seems to be handling that well. Should I continue to keep it outdoors and let it take in the sunlight (its currently in a shady spot but gets direct sunlight at least 4 hours a day) or bring it back inside and attempt to revive it with an 18/6 schedule and some CFLs? This is my very first attempt at revegetation and I'd like to keep this strain around for a while.

2) I am growing a couple of GORGEOUS girls and want to keep them around for a long time to come. My plan is to spray the bottom budsites of #1 until she produces sacks, then pollenate #2 on her bottom branches. My questions are this: is 240 PPM strong enough to make the change occur, and if not, what else should I do to make #1 produce pollen? I began spraying 5 days ago (today is day 30 for both girls) and so far nothing.

3) When I do get lucky and can finally make some fem seed babies with my girls, is it alright to harvest the sections of the plant dedicated to smoking and leave the seed carrying portion under 12-12? Would I be able to put it at a revegetation schedule (14/10, 18/6, etc) and revegetate it while the seeds develop, or would that compromise the development of the seeds?

Have a great day! :bigjoint:

Selfing a female plant is not the same as a clone. The Progeny will be different than the mother, and there could be significant variability.
In this case you are crossing two different female plants so expect more variability.

If you really want the same plant then cloneing is the best way.

I will look into cloning, but I am not sure how to do that right now and everything I have read about cloning says not to do it once you are in the 12-12 phase of the light cycle. I will try and learn once the plant is revegetated, though!

When it comes to the seeds, the strain that I am trying to seed is Berry Bomb; Both mothers are the same strain, just different phenotypes. I accept that this could mean some variability, but considering both mothers have traits I like, I am willing to accept the chance of variety. It is the spice of life, after all.
