Next time I run a couple and get a male I will be doing just that.

i've squeezed difficult to germinate seeds a few times. I've opened a couple to sprout safe, found a couple to be empty (helpful to know), and mashed the crap outta one that was too wet.

Excellent because @bobrown14 and I both want to try running your strain.

Sue, yes I sprayed the female Colombian Gold plant three days after pollinating her for the last time. Wet pollen is no longer viable. I needed her spot in my breeding tent so sprayed her to take care of as much unwanted pollination as I could.

Both the Quarter Pounder auto that I am treating with colloidal silver and the Dark Devil auto have roots at the bottom of their respective pots and have now for at least 2 days. The Dark Devil should be ready to go on a growth spurt. The QP is starting to pick up the pace a bit more. I nearly forgot to apply the colloidal silver tonight. I definitely don't want to do that.
I'll try to get a couple pictures of the QP tomorrow. I adjusted the tie down this morning moving it out further towards the end of the main stalk and bent it over a tad more.

I just checked on the two seeds I "cracked" open with the tweezers. One appears to be empty. Neither has done anything in 24 hours. I have to write them off as not viable and move on. It was worth a shot though.
Speaking of SHTF beez. The growing industry outside of weed makes nutered product regularly don't they? I'm afraid it's coming. Is it possible that in the future taking cuts will be the only way we can reproduce?
Thanks! Those look perfect. Sometimes the ph pen gets funny and a quick second opinion would be nice.

That's a scary thought. I guess anything is possible.

I agree, scary. It will all depend on which Fan the "S" decides to Hit, I suppose.

Photo taken this morning of the NL X DDA cross bud that I pollinated with Colombian Gold pollen about 8 days ago. Using my fly tying visor I am able to see a few seeds on this bud. So they are starting to grow.

The Colombian Gold plant is very well pollinated with lots of seeds starting to grow.
Gotta be nice to see the fruits of your labor. Okay, seeds of your labor!

Wow that was tough. Haven't been around since Friday and had 7 pages I needed to get thru. This is not one I skip pages of. Just trying to learn me something. Nice job
Glad the NLx is showing seeds now! She’s a gorgeous plant!
The CG that got heavy pollination looks like she’s bursting with seed formations! Great work so far beez!
How’s the QPa CS treatment going so far?

The Quarter Pounder auto continues to grow a little each day. She has not started flowering yet although I am seeing pre-flowers so it will be pretty much any day now and she'll be putting out some pistils. I continue to apply the colloidal silver at lights on and before lights out. And I'll keep doing that for at least another 3 full weeks unless of course she gets loaded up with pollen sacks.
By not using the CS on the leaves does it minimize the damage that spraying does to the plant? I read that one of the advantages of STS over CS was that STS did less damage. I'm wondering if using a paint brush and avoiding the leaves negates that advantage.

This is a trick question?
I brush on the colloidal silver for two reasons. First, although "only" $20.00 I save money by brushing it on as there is no over spray.
And second I am doing less damage to the leaves of the plant brushing it on.
The advantage you say of the CS is that it does less damage then STS. So it goes to figure that if the CS is brushed on it would do even less damage to the plant/leaves. The CS I use is 50PPM. I have seen it for sale as high as like 250PPM which I think would do a number on the plant no matter how you applied it.
I'll let you know when I ask trick questions, and that was not. I didn't want to assume and since we haven't SEEN ANY PICTURES since you started I wanted to make sure.

I went to the local farm store today to check on their inventory (they are getting low) of Pro Mix BX. They keep it outside the store on a pallet. They had 8 bags left. I negotiated with them a little and got 4 bags for $40.00 As I was loading the bags into the truck I noticed mice or rats had chewed a couple holes the size of a golf ball in one of the four bags I bought and the others had the same size or slightly bigger holes. I was going to offer him $7.50 each for the last 4 bags but before I could he asked me if I wanted them for $5.00 a bag. So I ended up getting eight 25 lb. bags of ProMix BX for $60.00 or $7.50 per bag. I poured the contents of the 3 bags with the bigger tears into a jumbo tote. I love getting a good deal.
