@stoneslacker man, I ended up with quite a few seeds hey, some nice big, dark ones too!! Very happy with that, now it's time to test them
Thanks JD I've got a few popping as we speak too. Went for the candyland x night cap (my cross) and nightmare og x night cap. Hoping to see the gdp pheno come through on the candyland cross!!kudos!
Yeah you're probably right about it being moved to the breeding sectionNice write up, could maybe be sticky worthy if there isnt one already but this shout be in the breeding section I would think, Nice work though
Cheers brother, real happy with the results hey! Got 2 of the offspring growing right now so we'll see how they come out@eastcoastmo Awesome mate! Stoked to hear you were successful!
Sorry everyone about the lapse and lack of updates. Landlord was updating the wiring,
and much of the work was to be done in my grow area so I had to relocate everything to
my brother's for a couple weeks.
The reversing went very well though, ended up with nearly all male flowers on the clones.
Pollen was not fully releasing on the Kosher but was able to crush some sacs and pollinate
a good amount of flowers. I will post some pics tonight of the seed formations developing nicely
as we move along.
@Budget Buds Thanks for the great compliment mate. When I started this thread I thought that
I was in the breeder's section but apparently not.
@potroast If any mods could possibly move this thread to breeder's paradise I would greatly appreciate it!
Very nice. I just got done with a nug run. Gonna do one more then I'm right behind you with the bean run. Looks like your gonna have a good next grow. Are all thoughs seeds vilatal?Hey Stoney, here's how I went with the bean run, very, very happy

Many people DO drink colleradal Silver as a health remedy for better health - by the looks of that guy - no thanks !Okay, the solution is made and now it's time to spray. I use small clones that I will reverse and flower separately
from the pollen recipient. This round I will reverse 3 clones each of the Kosher and Tangie to hopefully ensure
sufficient pollen production.
I like to start spraying the clones 7-10 days before I put them into flower. I then like to start flowering them 7-10 days before
I flip the main plants, the pollen recipients. I use a sprayer with a fine mist and spray the clones at least twice per day. Any
sprayer will work, just plan on using it for only CS.
Here is the first 2 clones I am spraying. I will top these again at around the 2nd node on each arm, but I want the extra
plant material there for the first few days of spraying. This helps to get more surface area for the plant to absorb the CS.
When I spray I try to make sure I cover the entire plant, but not completely saturate it. The other 2 clones of each are just rooted, and I will give them a couple more days before spraying.

After spraying them for a few days I like to mist them with plain water. I do this about every 3-4 days. The plants will have a
discoloration and buildup from the CS treatments, a bronzing or slight greyish color on the leaves is normal here.
There should be no burning or stressing of the plant during the spray process. CS, when done properly does not harm the plant, only a slight discoloration of leaves and such. If there is burning, leaf deformation, or other stress problems, your CS may be too strong or have other impurities causing the stress. Silver colloids penetrate at a molecular level and bond with the plant naturally, suppressing the hormone that produces female flowers (pistils). This will not alter or stress the plant, and will not alter the future offspring.
Keep spraying 2x daily for at least 7 days then flip them over to flower when ready. I like to flip the donor plants at least a week
before flipping the recipient plants. This helps to ensure that there is sufficient pollen production when the recipient plants hit the
crucial week 3 pollinating phase.
Normally I would pollinate only a select few branches, but this round I am seeding the whole plant. A couple friends are going
to compensate me with smoke so the goal here is complete pollination.
I am scrogging a Kosher and Tangie as the pollen recipients. With the even canopy, I should get plenty of seed production throughout the whole plant. Here is the main plants.

I'll post some updates as we progress along here. Peace
Edit: Also, do not consume the CS that you make or the plant material that has been sprayed. Plants that have been pollinated are fine to consume as long as they have not been directly sprayed with CS. Although silver is a potent antibiotic, and consuming small amounts could have health benefits, improper dosage and impure CS could have drastic effects. You do not want to end up looking like this guy!

@dirtpowerI<snip>
When I took the spray bottle outside the color changed to a light pink color I sprayed one lower branch a the beginning of stretch and sprayed three times a day for 12 days when buds first started forming, I then made another batch that still turned pink in the sun and sprayed 2 times a day for 12 days....I got nothing I checked the buds everyday and not one ball has formed...any Idea what went wrong????
So if you were spraying when buds were forming it might be that you missed the window of opportunity of 7-10 before flowering.I like to start spraying the clones 7-10 days before I put them into flower. I then like to start flowering them 7-10 days before

It was a good 12 days before any pistols started to even show and then 12 days after, when the buds started to show good...I thought perhaps the sun turning the solution pink might have had something to do with it, wish I knew for sure.@dirtpower
From what I read that stoneslacker did was:
So if you were spraying when buds were forming it might be that you missed the window of opportunity of 7-10 before flowering.
As to the pink color, I've never seen that before but light (especially intense light like the sun) is not particularly good for CS as it breaks it down. Long term storage suggests keeping it in a brown or blue glass bottle to protect it from light.
HtH!
