Fem seeds colloidal silver

I was planning on making a couple clones turn male to pollinate my outdoor plants. Due to vacations etc I started a bit late and may not be able to get seeds from all my outdoor plants.

I started spraying the clones lowest branch with colloidal silver once a day. I got store bought as I am lazy and it was only $20 on ebay. I used Tiresias Mist.
I sprayed for a week then switched to 12/12. I kept spraying for two more weeks.

Pictures from today:

Balls on the ISS. I only sprayed the lowest branch.

Balls on the blueberry. I sprayed the two lowest branches.


I will put a divider between the plants before the balls open up and try to create air movement so there will be little pollen crossing over to the other plant. I will selectively pollinate buds from each plant with pollen from the other so i get BB x ISS and ISS X BB.

I will collect some pollen and dry it and freeze it for later.

The next batch will be two clone but only one strain for a seed batch.
Maybe Skywalker OG.
 
Change of plans.
The pollen sacks have not yet opened and are not quite ready. :oops: I may not have enough time for seeds to fully develop.
I cut off the branches that had pollen and stuck them in a glass of water. I will collect the pollen later, dry it out with desiccant and freeze it.

The good thing about failing on a seed crop like this is that I will end up with a bunch of my favorite weed.
Sweet fail.

The plan for next time:

I will take 3 clones (two of one variety) and start spraying one as soon as they are established. A week later I will switch to 12/12 and move the two unsprayed clones to a different veg room with light at 18/6. I will leave the two clones in veg for about 12 days while spraying the other clone in the bud room. Since the shemale will have about a two week head start on flowering, it will be putting off loads of pollen when the small buds are ready to accept it.
 
Fail on the seeds. :oops:
The branches I selectively pollinated only gave me a few punk seeds.
I started spraying too late.

Not a total loss, I got about 6 ounces of ISS.
I switched to a 250 hps and just started two seeds for another go.
