ya you will get little nanner's come out of the calyx's and sometimes get full on nut sacks
just remember usually the first ones to show are punks and dont release viable pollen you have to give it as much time as you can
i made the mistake of seeing nanners and some pollination going on so i clipped the branch off and should of let it run longer i got alot of non viable seeds and very few good ones ..........

you keep talking about what a bad time you had ordering/receiving seeds.... where did you order from??? i have never had a problem and don't know anyone who has who hasn't had a problem remedied quickly... so i'm just wondering where you got your beans and why it was so fucked up

i ordered them from attitude. got the green tape twice. then when they finally made it. there were damaged beans. im just glad that the three autos have popped. i didnt think they were going to at all. the customer service was good. they reshipped twice. i didnt like the stealth. wasnt very stealthy at all. no guy would by a girls gardening bag. that was after the wallet got the green tape. the gardening bag also got it. then they made it but damaged. i will try a different bank. but i think ill avoid the attitude. maybe i got a bad attitude toward it, but it was my first order ever. didnt expect it to be so difficult. just wanna make this happen with the ones i did get to pop. so i dont have to worry bout it no more.

my first instinc was to go with nirvana. but since attitude had the nirvana seeds i wanted, i went with them. cause they have pic n mix i wanted to try a couple other strains. but i apparently only get to try one other auto strain wich is auto cherry bomb. ordered auto acid. crushed cracked b.s. only on cherry bomb popped. but both NL i germed popped. most of the beans looked damaged some straight crushed. at least the ones i paid for. the freebies all look fine. hope they are as it says on the pack feminized.
anyways. some things work well for some people, and other things work better for others. my gut instinct was nirvana seedshop. i will prolly try them next time, or herbies.

Wait until you see preflowers to spray for a couple reasons.
1. If the spray isn't homemade, and well-made, it might burn the plant a bit, and spryaing a seedling with thatwould stunt it's growth unnecessarily.
2. There is no need to, because it takes about 2-3 weeks after the first spray to be fully reversed if done properly.
IMPORTANT
3. You don't give yourself the chance to see if the plant was going to naturally be a hermie which is sometimes the case. If you start spraying before being sure it is 100% female, then you won't know if you all of the pollen you get is female, or hermie.

thanx for comfirming my thoughts. gotta make sure its a female, and if the whole plant happened to change, how would it pollenate itself lol. hope i can get the spray in time. the time it takes to ship it might screw me. and i cant afford overnight delivery. they should be getting ready to flower by the time i get the funds. they just shed their shells and are bout to rise. one has alredy risen this morning. the other two are visible so no later than tomorrow i think theyll all three be awake.

If you want to self pollinate the same plant you are reversing, you should top it when it has 3-4 nodes, and only spray one or two of the new main tops, and pollinate the others with that pollen.

Np.. Just so you know, you can purchase nirvana auto's through herbies. Nirvana is the breeder. Doesnt have to be the seller.

yeah, the NL i have are nirvana. they are lookin' pretty good this morning. i'm pretty happy with those. they grew tails within 36 hours. i think that's a record for me as far as germination. herbies also has something close to "pic n mix" some you can but just one bean, some are a minimum of three or even five. i didnt see nirvanas NL. but i did see some from royal queen, and VISION. they have some other good ones also. i like the freebies there also. nirvana just gives you ten MIXED regular seeds. herbies gives you at least one fem. and a couple others regular. thats only by adding a couple NL to the cart. prolly even better the more ya order. its a toss up for me. my gut says nirvana tho. but my head tells me to make fem seeds. and order other strains when i get to that point.

id actually be happy if by chance one of the NL turned out to be male. id put them by themselves somewhere away from the cherry bomb and the clone photo i think has balls. i want the pollen from that clone if it does herm. but i dont know how long you can store it? or what proper storage would be. havent looked into it yet. putting it into flower only screws my time up. i only have one timer. i want to keep my autos on 18/6. so i put it back. the clone prolly herm for sure. i have some other photos that were freebies. but if i make seed, i dont wanna cross breed other strains till i have stock of the pure breeds. not that any is a pure breed. i just wanna reserve the origonal genetics. i feel the same about humans, explore the variations, but keep some origonals in tact.

thats awesome man. lol @ ten inch plant. i dont know if ill ever try those, but it would be neat to see in persin. just a ten inch bud with no leaves is what i keep imagining. lol cool.Just finished collecting seeds off of my Shortstuff Auto Mi5. I selfed her using CS. Got about 40-50 seeds off a 10 inch tall plant. Not bad for a seed that I paid less then 2 dollars for from HerbiesHeadShop.Com

I had some done 3 weeks from pollination and some that took 5+ weeks. About 30% were stripes, about 30% were solids and the rest were in between. Not sure if that is a reflection of selfing or what.

this will heme just the bud your spraying, use a screen, (piece of paper), so it does not get on any other part of your plant and cover the bud in a plastic bag, (with some small air holes on top) to catch the pollen if your late at all. Do not smoke any bud you spray either, the pollen or seeds from that bud are ok to use, the pot on that bud should be flushed... its a waste but it will kill ya, or just make you retarded...
