First Grow Advice For Bodhi Seeds: Eden Transmission

Hey guys! This is my first post on the forum and and also my first grow inside of a tent. I got a pack of Eden Transmission (vintage
Vietnamese #7 x angel wing pearl afghan)
by Bodhi seeds, and a tent that is 4x4. I plan on saving the genes by making seeds. I wanted to know the best way to preserve the genetic, while only having access to a limited amount of seeds. Also, I was curious if anyone had any tips with Eden Transmission specifically. Any advice is welcome!

As far as I know, you can make colloidal silver and spray select buds with the mixture. I think there’s tutorials if you search

Would that make my seeds feminized only? I wold like to keep males in the gene pool for my next seed batch as well. My original post was more along the lines of asking; should I pop all the seeds and open pollinate everything, or pop them all and only select the best male and female from the original seed pack? I wouldn’t mind using the silver but I think I want to sift through some plants before I chose a good keeper. I honestly haven’t read much about colloidal silver, I’ll have to look it up some more

If your seeds are mixed m/f, plant all your seeds and hunt through them. Find a male plant that looks and smells the best. Capture pollen from male flowers (wrap in tinfoil and tape), sprinkle on female flowers around week 3 of flower. To answer your question, I’ve never used colloidal silver on flowers to create seeds. I think this will create females only, but I’m not positive

Sorry, to answer your question properly. I would pop all the beans, and only harvest pollen from the best male, and only cross the best male to the best female. It will take more work, but it’s the way imo. I’m new to making seeds, although I’ve done it recently, it was an abnormal situation. I had some male flowers grow on some peanut butter breath. I allowed the flowers to mature and plucked them before they exploded. I then tossed that pollen onto a Dinafem ocean grown cookies flower (my keeper). Good luck with the seeds!

You dont know what the "best male" is until you grow out his progeny.

This is what I’m saying. It’s more work. Takes more time. So instead of growing a “free for all” with all the females and males in one room, control the grow and make sure you’re isolating male plants in the flower stage. Some males get frosty, smell really good, these are the ones to look for imo

Okay thanks for the input. I’m going to pop all 12 seed regardless but I’m worried of making a bad cross and loosing out on genes that I intended on keeping. I think instead of open pollination, I’m going to only keep one male and all of the females. That way I will hopefully have a few different phenotype crosses to choose from, without the headache of trying to sort through so many different crosses.

Also this is going to be my only project running at the moment, is there a need to keep the male separate from the females while in flower? You mentioned pollinating week 3, but is it an issue to have a male in the flower tent throughout veg and flower?

you can buy tiresias mist off amazon for 20 bucks. Spray a female branch every day once to twice a day week before to week after flower. That'll make that branch male and itll pollinate the plant or plants. You can use a arts and crafts paint brush to help dust pollen I dont and will get a 150 to 200 seeds. You can do this to autos or photos


Clones are the best way to preserve plants genetics. New Seeds can do weird shit, where as clones are clones
