Going XXL and making fem seeds. The ".xxl" project

I'm only including the above link because I'm supersizing my BKRs in this batch. Anyone that was following the BKR project might also be interested in this project. Or If you have ever wanted to save a shit ton of money and make your own fem seeds, this may be of interest to you.

So I've grown a lot of autos in the past. No real complaints. Some tall, some short, some bushy, some lanky, you get my drift. Some sparkled, some didn't. Most recently I've grown some @Squatch69 (Sour Stomper x Purple Gorilla) fem autos which makes a lot of really nice wax, smells grapey great, and harvests are 3+ ozs.

My goal is to supersize some plants that are more on the average harvest size of ~2 ozs and from seeds I have made myself.

Here is the list of seeds I plucked from the vault that need to go “xxl”.

AKR S1 Afghan Kush Ryder fem
BKR f1 Berry Kush Ryder fem
BKR f3 Berry Kush Ryder fem
Skywalker fem
Alien vs Triangle fem

So I don’t disturb my main room full of autos, I’ll be doing this project in my converted rv fridge that has 600 watt equivalent CFLs up top.

I have started my Sour Stomper x Purple Gorilla (now called SS X PG). I will start misting this with homemade colloid silver at about two weeks old or so. At that point I’ll drop my 5 seeds in soil.

This is what is going to happen in a nut shell. The big SS x PG I will mist with the CS (colloid silver) which will create pollen which I will take and dust onto the other 5 fem plants I chose.

That will give me fem crosses of

(SS x PG) x AKR
(SS x PG) x BKR f1
(SS x PG) x BKR f3
(SS x PG) x Skywalker
(SS x PG) x Alien vs Triangle

Here is the fem SS x PG. this will grow by itself for two weeks.

At two weeks I will also start the 5 seeds. They will all be growing together and I’ll have the keep them small.

And their official names get posted.

I am going to keep this simple and non technical and will not be back crossing or taking these past f1s. I just need some bigger quality plants because I love making lots O wax.
I also enjoy making lots of rosin with my press. Just out of curiosity what ppm of cs do you prefer?

That's the way we like them, right HLG? Big as paper towel rolls!

Just realized how long it's been since I've logged in... Lol. Life just keeps moving forward I guess.
Great stuff HighLow, I will be watching your progress on this expo. Best of luck. Homemade colloidal, huh? I tried it once, just didn't have the best response from the plants. Hope yours does the trick, brother.

Sorry I haven’t updated this in a while. So here is where we are. I started misting the SS x PG with my homemade CS @ 42ppm on 11/23.

Here it is today. I’ve topped this girl three times now.

And the rest. That AKR seed was really old. The plant came up like shit. It’s fixing itself out fine. Almost tossed it.

I started the SS x PG about 3 weeks before the rest. The 4 recipients of the pollen will be:

Alien vs Triangle
Afghan Kush Ryder
BKR f1
Skywalker
and probably a BKR f4 I have out in “the room”

That’s it for now.

White hairs are popping up here and there.

Pollen sac update. Nothing yet. Your really only suppose to mist a branch. Well I misted all the branches. Hehe. Been chopping everything to keep some height control. Lol.

SS x PG with pollen sacs on the left. Two recipients on the right. Well can’t forget about Alien vs Triangle and Skywalker back there too.

My focus is on BKR f1 X (SS x PG). Everything else is just a bonus.

^^^ What a shitty looking plant. Oh well, don't need her pretty. When the little flowers start to open pollen is coming. It’s time to collect some and create some seeds. So what I do is raid the construction paper drawer and find a black piece. I put it below the flowers and flick the branch. The pollen falls right where it needs to be. On the paper.

^^^ Now I grab a small DRY paintbrush and dip and brush it around on the pollen. Now take that pollen on the brush and

^^^ brush it onto a bud site. In this case I happen to have a BKR f4 I brought it in to get dusted. Now I will put this plant back into the room and water it as normal with the other plants. I dusted all bud sites of the plant and will call it non tokeable plant. When this plant is mature, I will let it mature some more. Maybe an extra couple weeks. Should provide me with several hundred fem [BKR f4 x (SS x PG)] seeds.

The other plants above need more white hairs before dusting.

Merry Christmas.

Here is the fem BKR f4 I dusted with the SS x PG pollen. Notice the white hairs starting to shrivel down a bit. That is the sign the pollen was received well. I dusted this plant about 3 days ago.

Was looking forward to seeing u make the cs. Been trying for the last past week & have only gotten up to 20ppm after about 24hr using the 3 9v battery method.

Would really appreciate any tips u can give me for making a higher grade CS.

I'm trying what I have made anyway because keep hearing a tds meter doesn't give an accurate reading in regards to CS...been only spraying since Christmas so time will tell. Meanwhile I just continue to gather info.
