Colombian Gold Grow: Come Learn With Me How To Produce Your Own Seeds!

[beez0404]

With all you had going on it would be impossible to say without a doubt where the pollen came from to pollinate that female plant where you found the seeds. My guess would be hermie pollen in which case the resulting seeds will be feminized. Grow them out if you have the space, you'll just need to keep an eye open for hermie plants.

Though some pollen gave me the stock ....

That is a boatload of seeds. Do you know the potential strains? Make sure you let those seeds dry out REALLY WELL before storing them in something like that jar. I put mine in a board game box top and sit it on my dresser for a month and then feel safe putting them in closed containers. I put in a silica pack to suck up any moisture.

The male was an Afghani regular (I have been unable to find specific lineage data), it was a freebie from Herbie's. Female was a female Skunk Diesel from GYO, also a freebie. Female grew in a 15gal and male matured in a 5gal. I chopped the boy after pollen just started popping. Then, like a bee, I just shook the male all over my lady. The smoke was so weak and SO full of seeds. Smoke from the seed stock is great, smells like a Amherst Sour Diesel I grew awhile back.

Edit

Good to know about the moisture. These seeds were not in that jar from the beginning. It took awhile to collect because we were just smoking and picking seeds here and there. It was probably a month before they were deposit in said jar.

I believe that to be a Velvet Underground album cover. But it's banana not a pepper. When it was issued new it had a yellow banana sticker over what you see when you took the sticker off. 1968? 1967?

Your correct, I meant the Sgt. Pepper you picked up, what press is it? I dig through bins as well. LOL.

Seeds from a cross of a regular male and a female will be regular seeds.

Yes, all of my jar seeds are regulars. The new seeds (in green container) are from my freshly chopped female, which was most likely a semi self cross.

SMAS-2653 Purple label.......1978 I also own the 1969 issue with the lime green label

Are you retired too?

OMG this made me spit out my ice cream lol!!

Feminized seeds could be made by reversing and pollinating a female, if I understand correctly?

Good stuff beez just sliding by

When growing in hempy this is always a welcome sight. It's a sign your plants are ready to take off with a growth spurt. I took off the duct tape for a feeding today and both plants have roots down into the reservoir now.

Lookn gud bro i got a bottle of clonex from my soil guy at the old hydro i used to go to b4 they shut dwn now dude works at another garden spot but not as gud as the old one i dnt think but he gave me a big bottle of clonex to try b4 my cloner bucket showed up but i never got around to using it cause i didnt have any pellets to put my seeds/clones in to root an wen my bare roots cloner showed up i jus used tht an use ro water N almost all of mine root takes a week or 2 but worth it for easy action i jus spray them dwn a few times a day with ro water since it dnt have a dome then they do gud if i forget to spray them then they can go bad lol but yea i was wondering how u go about making ur seeds. Ive been using sts to reverse some females n got abunch of auto fem pollen so exited about the crosses i can make an all the future beans ima have lol.

I just finished feeding the male and female Colombian Gold plants. Both were thirsty. Here are some bud pics.

Just wondering 1 what are the nutes u use an 2 what is the biggest size hempy pot uve used? Ive done a 5gal waste basket as a hempy run b4 an the plant got so huge it over took my grow space lmao i had 2 string her up so buds werent falling all over the floor lmao. But yea congrats on those beatuies bro.

Well im trying to make auto pollen this time an not photo. An for some reason when i was using c.s on my autos i wasnt getting any results. No matter how hard i tried the best i got was some nanners but they wud be empty. So i asked some people on here an pennywise turned me on to sts mainly cuz i was spending so much on c.s tht it was cheaper to go the sts rout. So i jus make a jug of my own sts n i keep tht in the fridge as well as the sprayer bottle. Then i jus keep filling the sprayer bottle as needed. Plus ince i started the sts rout i started getting a 100% success rate at getting pollen so far this is the first batch of autos tht i put auto pollen so ill see if tht 100% continues lol but im pretty sure it will have no reason to suspect otherwise. Atleast not yet anyway lol.

Thanks Blazin!

 

[Archiweedies]

Good info on sts. I just ordered some CS, but if I have trouble I'll remember this!

 

[Blazinjones]

Thanks Blazin!

Altho if ur interestsd in this method jus to let u no there is a bit of a process not hard at all but u will need a scale an most growers have one but at the time mine broke an i ended up havn to wait while my new1 showed up in the mail lol. So jus alil forewarning tht u will need one if u wana go this route they have a thread on here with the steps on it an everything tht list/show u everything u need an how to mix and apply it if needed lol. Its called how to reverse sex using silver thiosulfate solution and its been a massive help in aiding my bean addiction for one lol plus helping me to build my seed empire. I wud love one day to open my own seed bank or at the very least getting my own strain out to the public for sale for people to get tht wud be really cool i think.

I was thinking earlier what if both of the plant are females? And that's actually not a problem, you'll just be making feminized seeds instead of regular seeds. But, to do this, and do it along with this thread and tutorial you'll want to be prepared. In the event both plants are girls I will be brushing a product called Colloidal Silver onto the nodes of a single branch on one of the plants. This is the CS that I personally use. I've tried a number of them and this has worked the best for me. AND it's WAY cheaper then the other products I've used.

This is a 16oz. bottle and cost me $20.00 if my memory serves me right. It is 50 ppm which is stronger then the "name brand" sprays I've used. Also find yourself a small (2-4 oz. cobalt blue or brown glass sprayer bottle) into which you'll pour an ounce at a time. Always keep the CS in a cool, dark place and only take out the bottle to add more to your small spray bottle. If both plants are girls we'll be employing this spray.

Will sts work the same as Cs ?

STS and CS both do the same thing. Some prefer CS while some prefer STS. I prefer the CS mainly because the STS is more "unstable" and not as convenient.

Just did my lights on check in the Honeymoon Suite. Time to move the boy to his new secluded home. For those who have never pollinated a plant here is a photo of a pollen sack that is probably hours away from dropping pollen.

Here is the only other sack I saw on the plant in the opened and ready to fire position. And this one was ready to fire. I plucked it off before it could pollinate the girl. This tiny bit of pollen will be going onto a single bud on my NL X DDA cross plant. Applied carefully with a small artist's paintbrush. The buds around the treated bud will be misted lightly with water. I will take a photo of the bud to be pollinated prior to the procedure. Then when/if the pollen is viable I will be able to show how to tell if your buds have been successfully pollinated.

So if you study the photos closely you can see that the outer "shell" is made up of 5 panels. When the pollen sack is ready to release it's pollen these panels raise up exposing the pollen chambers inside. When you see the panels raised the sack is either ready to pollinate the buds or within hours of being ready.
