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

Now with that information beez will you be harvesting the seeds on the mature branch sooner? Or will you push all the seeds until the same time and then harvest them?

Typically when I start finding a bunch of mature seeds on a plant I like to (as a reward to me) harvest 10 or 20 each day. But I only do this when I'm finding fully mature seeds. With this plant I won't pick any more off for at least 2 more weeks. I don't want to waste any more then I have to.

Ok ! Look forward to the seeds in a few weeks then!
 
I've been watching the NL X DDA plant for any problems, hermies etc and happy to say not seeing anything bad. Something I've been noticing is how the new leaves grow out. When they are growing out they have been going through a period of what I have to call clawing for lack of a better phrase. Sort of like a fern if you know what I mean. The leaves look like this for a couple weeks and then straighten out and look normal. Anyone else experience with with any of your plants?
I have. Blueberry from 420. I had an unexpected schedule change and had to pot up earlier than was good. They grew all different after that stress. One did this. I chalked it up to the trauma I gave it. It also looked like N tox for a while and iron def. She still produced 4 or 5 ounces of fine bud but looked freakish a lot of the time.
 
Very nice healthy looking clones there NS. You did a great job!!
 
You're quite welcome. I hope that between all of us we'll figure this breeding stuff out and all be able to make our own seeds and successfully take cuttings.

haha i missed this yesterday, but i am taking a few seeds a day to, when you see them cracked open and a dark seed is staring at you to be picked... its so hard not to:drool:
 
I know what you mean. Make sure that the calyx is just falling right off the seeds you're harvesting and that they are coming off the plant with virtually no resistance. That's how I know they're ready when they almost fall off when I touch them and the calyx falls off practically.
 
Well I started applying the colloidal silver to the Quarter Pounder auto plant back on November 17th, so I have been applying the CS to the auto flower plant now for 25 days. Today I was rewarded for the tedious work when I spotted these on one of the branches I've been treating.

It's only two pollen sacks but I'm confident there will be more. Hopefully I can scrape together enough pollen from this QP auto flower plant to pollinate the other three autos in the tent with her. I started them a couple weeks after the QP in the hopes that they would start flowering about the time the QP was producing pollen. The other three are Stardawg, Gorilla Glue, and Tangerine Dream The Stardawg and Tangerine Dream both started showing pistils within the last few days. The Gorilla Glue is about a week behind as the first seed failed to germinate and I had to go to a back-up seed.

Happy to finally have something to report. I will continue applying the colloidal silver to the other two branches twice daily for a bit longer. Especially the tall branch which I'm relying on to produce a quantity of pollen sacks but who knows!!
 
Here is a photo of the auto flower family in my homemade grow box. Starting with the front left and going clockwise there is Quarter Pounder auto, Tangerine Dream auto, Stardawg auto, and in the front right is the Gorilla Glue auto.
 
A couple pics of the Quarter Pounder auto plant. Towards the front of both photos you'll notice that the vegetation is a dark green color. Those are the branches I have been treating with the CS.

 
Last photo is a bud on the Blueberry plant in flower. I had her out today to remove some of the fan leaves she's used up in the last week. She sucked them dry and it is VERY important to remove these leaves ESPECIALLY if they are growing out from inside a bud. If they die and you don't remove them the stem inside the bud could potentially rot causing mold/fungus and we don't want that ever.
