Seed Production

Hey everyone this is my first post here so any help would be great. I am nervous about ordering seeds, so when I do I would like to produce my own from them so I don't need to order more than have to. My question is if I am pollinating with a male and female, or spraying a female with something like Tiresias mist will it produce buds with seeds or just seeds? From what I have read is you get lower quality bud with seeds in it. That is why you pull out the males for better buds. I would be fine with a round of less quality to get a bunch of seeds.

Idk man but ordering seeds isn't that bad. All of us do all the time. If you want to feel super safe I can say that Nirvana seed's stealth was so amazing I couldn't believe it. If you order from attitude just pay for the gaurenteed stealth and thats pretty decent to. If they do find the seeds they just send a letter and thats it, at least thats the only thing i've ever heard happen.

Idk about pollinating but you could also create a mother and clone. Do one big seed order and you could clone more than enough.

I have looked at those seed banks which a lot of people speak highly of, but there is one in the US called Great Lakes Genetics ever heard of it. All you need to do is send copy of mj card or dl license to show your 21. Good prices $7 shipping to US(priority mail) heard nothing but great stuff. I think it maybe safer with no customs. Just afraid to get busted my wife would freak. I still have to talk her into let me grow lol.

Interesting, havn't heard of em. Yeah bypassing customs would def be a benifit. If you have your licence can't you just buy seeds or clones locally then?
Lol good luck on that one!

Check them out you can get 5 fem's for as low as $52 including shipping plus I hear they give bunch of free stuff. I emailed the guy and asked if you needed mj card said no just email him a copy of driver's licence to show your 21 you can blur out other info. Not sure how you would get caught with no customs so may go through them.

Thing to do is clone. I use a rubbermaid with 32 x 2 inch net cups with cloning collars. Just tap water and barely any light and in 2 - 4 weeks I have a bunch of rooted clones. I like this cloner because I can unclip them from the cup at this age and put them into dirt, coco or any medium really.. Or i can use it in the netcup for aeroponics.

Here's one;

Here's the guys thread on this forum to find a rubbermaid that doesn't leak.. (I don't use this method to grow in summer because I have to chill my water or root rot.. I just use the cloner.. )

Hey Mcdee, If you are in canada you can order from mjseedscanada.ca as well as cropkingseed.ca

No in the US but cropkingseed is one I was looking at too. Good selection just little more money with stealth packaging. Plus it gotta go through customs but I want the white widow and purple kush. They have some nice autos as well. Not sure cloning is a route I can take. I have a grow tent 4'x2'x5' but that is it no other space. Plus in the north east winter is cold and my basement is around 50°-55° so can't grow all year round. Right now I have some bag seed no idea what it is low quality tho. I do have 1 seed I found in some high grade stuff I got a year ago. I heard that if you find a seed in good stuff it may be a herm, so don't know if I will use it.

GLG is legit. I sent out my money order Sat and had my seeds in hand on Thursday. Buy 2 bodhi packs get one free right now. Can't beat that. And they threw me a 5 pac of freebee zero dark 30 x lbl. And excellent customer service. drabgoatjeffy is the man.

Anyone know where I could find Great Ape, or Purple Urkle? Always want to try.
Don't know about grape ape, but I know Rare Dankness' Grape Ox (Grape Ape x ox) can be had from attitude right now. Haven't grown it myself but being a Rare Dankness strain I think it's a safe bet you'd be happy.

Thats good to hear I think that is the safest way. The family is heading up to Niagra Falls in September 2017 going to look around up there any sugestions for seedbanks near the falls?

Well your in the US which is a bonus for you. The are hundreds if not thousands of seed banks you can turn to if you have the time to spend infront of your computer screen. As for your grow tent you could always turn it on its side and grow scroggi style with a h/o t5 set up which from what I have read produces well and bulbs are available in all spectrums of light. And as for the temperature, it's an indoor grow which means you are mimicking nature (you control). As for that single seed, any female plant can hermie given enough stress, that's how feminized seeds are created. A stressed female will hermie, pollinating herself creating feminized seeds. Good luck and happy growing.

Good info Budding-potential I may look into that after I get a grow or 2 under me. Do you think I should try that seed or wait on it? I was going to use low grade on my first grow so I don't waste it.

Well I would use the bagseed and the good seed because with the bagseed you could get 1 or 2 females at best out of 20 seeds. Some may not germinate at all.the good seed could be a dud or male, just mark the pot you use for the good seed. Use these unknown seeds as a teaching guide, learn what you need to know for future grows.

Quit freaking out. If customs did find them all they will do is send a letter. They won't come get you.

I would recommend Herbie's or the vault seed co. The vault advertises on here. I have received orders from both.

You could always just ask your weed guy for 10 seeds for 20 bucks. He will have bag seeds. He might also know a guy. Anyway, once you get them you can work around pollinating your entire crop.
Collecting Pollen:
Prim your choice male of all its pollen sacks except a few (you only need one sack but it's nice to have a back up or two). Observe the sacks every day. A day or two before they pop they will turn from a football shape to tressel shape (they will bulge and form soft ridges). At this point pull the male from the room, tie down the branch that has the nanners on it, and underneath the nanners hang a coffee filter from some string. This is to catch the pollen. Put the plant in something you can more or less seal (I like to use two paper grocery bags, one on top of the other).
All done? Alright, now you have a breathable, wind-free environment for the nanners to pop. You can carefully check the bag every day to see if the nanners have opened, even jiggle it to help them along. Once they have opened, carefully remove the coffee filter, roll it up, and place it in a ziplock. Put a paper towel in the corner of the ziplock so it can almost seal but for the paper towel. Now, put your pollen in a dark and dry place (it will last for a few months). After this, change your clothes and shower before re-entering your grow room - it's really easy to carry pollen on your person.
Pollinating Branches:
Alright, now you have pollen. But you want to apply it, right? Go find your pollen ziplock, carefully take out the paper towel, then coffee filter and place it in a paper lunch bag, leaving the filter in normal filter form, open to the sky. Take the plant you want to pollinate into a spare room, one with zero air flow. Place a plastic bag over the branch you want to pollinate, rubber band it off, and spray your whole plant with a foliar spray of plain water and two drops of dish soap. The water inhibits pollination - but you kept one branch dry you sly guy. Replace the plastic bag around the branch with your pollen-y lunch bag (containing your pollen-y coffee filter), making sure to insert the branch horizontally into the bag, then rubber band it off at the dry mark. Now, shake, flick, shake, and flick. You can leave the bag on for a good 3 days. Right before you remove it, spray down your entire plant again. Get a vacuum cleaner with a nozzle and a clean hepa filter, and hold it under the lunch bag as you pull it off horizontally. Throw the paper bag into a ziplock. Vacuum the branch after throwing the paper bag into a ziplock, but don't let the bud actually go into the nozzle just keep it a few inches away. As the last step you spray the pollinated branch with water (the pollen should have already started its journey into the ovum by this point so pollen left on the surface of the leaves and bud is just contamination).
Boom, with a little setup and care you can get more seeds than you can use without impacting your yield much!

When I use this method I do get a few seeds here or there but the water and vacuum seem to do the trick. Once you see the pistils turn brown and recede the pollination is complete. Don't pull the seeds out until you can see a brown (green is immature) seed popping out of the bud.

Good luck with the move to a medical marijuana state!
