Applying CS on Female

Hey guys. I've been growing cannabis for a few years now and would like to cut down on seed expenses by making my own feminized seeds. I have a few questions.
What do you do if you have multiple females that you want to spray with CS? Do you need one tent for each female so it doesn't cross breed with the other female?
Also, I'll be spraying the entire plant with CS to get the most seed production out of the girls.

Pollen is like the Internet; it can be your best friend and your worst enemy.

If you want control then start with it and keep them separate. You won't have to do it right away but once the nanners split the chucking begins whether you want it to or not.

Personally I only spray one strain at a time to keep from having them cross pollinate.

Good info. Do you totally clean and wipe down your tent after every breeding?

If you are thinking it then it is likely a best practice. Rubber gloves, some clean rags and a 10% bleach solution works wonders for much. If you don't like bleach pollen is inactivated buy plain water. I keep 10% around to spray down walls and tools as a preventative to spreading spores and viruses.

i was using tiresias mist for feminizing, but its so expensive.. i bought 250ppm coildal silver and it worked but not all produced pollen.. i now just ordered STS it comes in 6 bags 3 of each that u mix with distilled water, all 6 would make 3 liters,, what is nice that i can mix as i need i dont have to make it all at once and it stays good till mixed then mixed it sais it will keep for a month if kept refridgerated.. anybody have experience with this stuff?

IMO:
I pick the smallest female plant

on the lower branches as the sex is about to show

I spray CS 2x times per day for about 10 days...often 14 days

as the male flower develops I keep her separate

once mature I apply the pollen with a cotton bud

to the lower branches flowers of my 1x chosen female

the catch is ....

the pollen matures too late to apply to the girls this round

but is applied to the ones 2-3 weeks behind this current crop

you can freeze pollen in rice to keep dry

good luck
