Pinkus, another question to you , as you seem to be the only Bull Goose Loony willing to discuss some issues on this site. I've got a clone only strain that i have been growing for 10 years. The genetics come from the Northern part of Cali, as I have friends in Mt. View, Ca. It traveled here in a 1973(for the car buffs)2002 BMW Tii, hidden in the engine compartment.LOL ya caught me in my hyperbole, not EVERYONE is DIY...but i am SURE it's a diy section. I'm guessing that h2o2 at the pharmacy is also horticultural grade, since i believe (in general) ratings for med use are more stringent than Hort use. oh yeah, Chemist is what they call a pharmacist in the UK.
Bike ~ How long did you cook your CS for? I made a batch yesterday and cooked for 7 hours. Today second batch is going on 16, want to make sure it's strong! Thanks for the insights about H202. need Hort 50% but it doesn't exist it would seem?i have only had silver work as intended when i made my own some store bought concoctions may work but most do not ime. 30% h202 is available at most hydro stores its not readily available mainly because 30% will eat through your skin quickly and we all know people are mostly stupid.
Haven't went back and read all the threads, just going to ask you, my Buddha Ball clones are in the first 5 days of flowering. When do i begin the CS spraying, and most importantly, how often? Sounds like there's not going to be much pollen using this CS method, so I'm tempted to spray all my 13 clones, and let them self pollinate, instead of collecting the pollen from the bananas. I'd never use fem seeds for any breeding program.too much voltage increases the particle size which is undesirable as we want small particles which can enter the plants tissues easily so lower voltage is best 12v or lower and of course use ro or better yet distilled water never tap as it is too conductive and large particles will result. i run my batches for 12 to 24 hours or until the solution is a grey color this seems to work. a normal tds meter does not give accurate ppm with cs so im not sure what ppm i end up with but i have produced pollen with my mixes on a stable tahoe og clone. so yes it works when done right otherwise a more simple approach would be reversing with ga3 which is effective as well. the one biggest drawback with cs is that the amount of pollen produced is unpredictable and minimal most the time. hope that helps.
Really want to thank you for the serious responses you've given me in the last few days. Nice to pack-in the egos and assist one another in these matters. I freely i admit that I/m new to this site and lack the relationships that one builds.the seeds should be the same either way you do it most people begin spraying a week or more before flowering begins daily or every other day. i spray for about 10 to 14 days if you overdue it too much you can kill the branch your spraying. store the silver in glass containers as plastic creates a static charge which can degrade the silver solution. light also degrades and limits shelf life best place for storage is a cool dark place but not the fridge as too cold temps affect it as well.
Nothing to take back really or I've missed something? As I've said, I have 13 clones of a clone only personal strain that I will work with.I take it back then.. I thought you were just expecting larger application of weaker solution to work, not devote the entire crop to seed..
