Ahhh I figured it out, you’re playing assassins creed.
hey there VG, just came pokin around to see what you’re getting into these days.
I’m curious about some things you’ve got going on here.
Arent you concerned with your bud trimmer bruising your trichome heads? When I process, I take every precaution to not touch any of the actually flowers, because contact can bruise the trichome heads and make them degrade much faster.. just like an apple or a banana.. processing those fruits mechanically leads to a lot more brown spots.. I dunno, just somefruit food for thought.
Also I saw your concerns about the STS. Although it’s a more labor intensive application process, CS is a much safer solution to keep in your fridge as it’s used health supplement. I also paint my CS on like you talked about.. no spraying of chemicals in my house. Again, just something to ponder.
F1, F2 etc doesn’t actually have to do with the seeds being reg or fem. for example your DDAs. The seeds you get off the reverse plant itself will be S1, that is true. But the seeds you get off the other DDA will actually be F2s (assuming you’re growing F1 DDAs).
You can make F2, etc seeds fem. the key here is that you are making a brother to sister cross Regardless of the actual sex of the pollen donor when it sprouted, if you’re pollinating a plant of the same filial generation, you’re going down another generation. Selfed seeds only happen when the pollen donor is also the seed mother.
That said, when working with autos doing F2s is much preferred to making S1s. As we’ve all seen with the DDAs especially, auto S1s are often wildly irregular. You get much more uniform offspring from F2s. Also with an F2 you’ve got breedable stock there. Heck, one DDA S1s I grew wasn’t even an auto.
**brother and sister crosses are only true of F2 and on. F1 seeds are the very first outcrossing of two distinct, uniform strains. Which is why we see more vigor out of F1s than any other filial generation.
Anyhow, sorry for the novel. Your b’naches looked fantastic. I’m sure KH was happy to see the lovely produce from his stock.

This is mostly correct.These seeds will be auto flower fems.
The plant is being chemically manipulated to produce male flowers and pollen.
These types of seeds are called S1,S2 etc. S- meaning self pollinated. The number refers to which generation it is.
If you have pollen from a male plant you are introducing male genetics and these seeds are referred to as F1,F2...
This is a first, second etc. generation cross from two parents that are male and female. These seeds are from regular stock and yield regular seeds.
To get fems you would have to reverse the plant after finding a good,stable pheno.
