I've reversed a few autoflowers, and they do just what you said. You pretty much always get at least a couple of seeds, if you wait long enough. With a Lowryder, I blew across my pollen branch towards the flowers. I'd already gathered the pollen that came that day, and didn't see any pollen...

There's one case that's not better. If you make seeds, and wait too long to pollinate, the buds turn brown and the leaves dark purple. The pot still works after you remove the seeds, but you might find yourself finding a sandwich on the counter in the bathroom, when you get up the next...

Follow up: Found this experiment using the 2 chemicals. Test procedure One puts a spatula-tipful of sodium thiosulfate in the test tube and dissolves this with approx. 1 ml of water. Now one adds 2-3 drops of silver nitrate. A white sediment is precipitated which immediatly sinks and leaves...

That's a beauty for sure. Once you've seen those pods open up and make pollen in person, you can't mistake them for flower parts. I just found yet another STS formula, on a scientific website. I'm only presenting it, because none of the other formulas I saw have mentioned the...

This is the 3rd silver thiosulfate recipe I've seen. I made up a formula with amounts similiar to others, but I wanted to test if there was really a need to add concentrates together when you're only going to dilute it later. Mine didn't work. Didn't turn yellow, and grew flowers as easily...

I guess I was naive. I thought we were usually buying F1 seeds, produced from some mythical P1 seeds someone was maintaining in a dutch paradise (near the redlight district I hope). I got some very good seeds from one of the most popular online sellers, and all of them grew PERFECTLY. But...

Does anyone have experience with F1 Hybrid seeds made this way? I mean, how much do the genetics vary, if both parents were autoflower female seeds (of different varieties), and pollen forced on one was used on the other? I recently made some White Widow x Super Skunk seeds this way...

That's a really good point! However, I haven't seen it again so I can smell it. I became more paranoid about moisture content, and it just hasn't happened. So, it must have been spores.

Yea, I finally figured that out. I was worried I'd be lucky to get 50 seeds on that White Widow. Now I know better. Last plant I pollinated was a blueberry. Buds were just starting, only 1/3 inch of pistils. I pollinated it like that. Hopefully it'll grow very big buds with seeds only at...

I'll try again with more water.

God, I hope not! Hadn't even thought about them until now. Here's the results of the water rinse gnat removal technique. I might try it again later with a strong fine spray from a large misting bottle, but you have to figure that if the stream is strong enough to remove the gnat, some...

Here's the resulting 1190 seeds from that White Widow, cross bred with a Super Skunk. I've got 6 of these seeds growing at a friends house, outdoors. Of the dark brown seeds seen here, 7 out of 7 I tested sprouted in about 3-5 days. Of the seeds from this batch that were still green, only...

I'll test that theory out. I found another fungus gnat stuck to a bud. Seems to be the lower buds, which makes sense as they hover around the soil. When does he rinse? When picked, or after dried? And unless he looks carefully, I'm just going to rinse as if I didn't know the little guy was...

I've read concerns in these groups from people who accidentally got pollen on their plant, and believed the seeds that formed had ruined their hard work to make strong buds. I personally remember the seed ridden pot from the 70s, so that concern seemed a little unjustified to me. Here's...

More seed info for other newbees like me (I'm lucky old timers haven't laughed at me about all this): JUST BUY SEEDS FROM REPUTABLE DEALERS!!! That's my best advice. We need those guys to preserve precious strains over the decades. When you make seeds at home, you're likely to end up with...

Both of course! Like Eddy Murphy used to do.

Morgan Freeman is a long time pot user, but you can't tell from his movies. If they redo "up in smoke", he'd be a good choice for the lead character.

My "tiny" seeds finally germinated, 7 out of 7. The 3 larger ones that were still green germinated 1 out of 3. Look to me like tiny seeds are fine, as long as they look mature (have the dark spots). You can also tell a perfectly mature seed by how big the navel is. They seem to shrink down...

Thanks! I hadn't read that anywhere yet.

Thanks, that's good to know! I'm Jonny pot seed in Orange County, California. I'm giving seeds away for free. I hope to get someone to put 6 in their backyard, so we can do the dry ice with fine mesh bag thing, and get some trichrome hash. Anyone know how much of the finest screen hash...
