C.S Reversal Timetable?

I'm in a fix, I'm making a batch of CS and have two photo silver skunks the same age, one is barely into pre-flower, and the other is slightly showing signs of flowering/pistils. Am I too late to begin spraying one? Under normal circumstances, or now, which one should be use as the father/pollen donor, the one with the strongest odor and fastest growth, or the slightly less odoriferous, and slower growth?

Can I spray the donor and keep it in the same space with the other girls until it begins to turn?

I would cut several clones from both of them, root them and reverse the one that came from the mother with the best smoke. Use it to pollinate the rest. Imo that's the best thing you could do.

if you have them in 12/12 you should have been spraying one at the latest the day you went 12/12 , its now gone this long into flowering/changing and you want to change it even more ?

i say dont do it , by the time it reverses then finally throws pollin you will be near harvest , lets say average of 2 weeks to reverse , then to be safe 2 weeks to throw pollen , thats 4 weeks , but your already how long into 12/12 ? a couple weeks maybe ? thats 6 weeks , leaving 0-4 weeks (strain dependant) to pollinate , create seeds , and let them mature

i think you missed the boat on this round , sorry , just trying to be honest/realistic

other then that , yes you can keep the plant you are reversing with the others , but its advisable (highly) that you remove it to do the spraying , then put it back in a little while later

Cool, I will save some CS for another time and just take some cuttings for another day. I'll hopefully be working with autos soon and doing some micro stuff. I waited too long to get my materials, but I can see millions of silver particles in the laser beam, and I believe my CS is spot on. I read that a member used his after three months of storage, is that an average expiration time?
 
It should still be good in 3 months. Just make sure to store it in a cool dark place. It would he best to male a new batch when the time comes though. I don't like to store it more then 30 days.

it was me who used it after 3 months , since then i used it after 5 months and still had complete success

i dont advise it though and have long since stopped making a gallon at a time lol

store it in the dark at room temp and its fine for a long time , but why do that when it is so cheap to make once you are set up , it costs me a dollar or less for 4 litres/1 gallon of 0ppm distilled drinking water , i make 4 1 litre batches for that dollar , what the plants dont use in each 1 litre batch i drink (diluted 50/50 , i also make some for others who use it to better thier health

I sprayed a plant at sunrise and placed it next to another one about the same size but a little more mature. Later that day I noticed balls on the other plant at the site where it was topped. Could it be possible that some silver got on it and caused this to happen? It didn't have the balls the night before, and I also noticed some silver particles had spread onto another plant's leaf. I'm confused, it's not possible the strain is a hermie, it's very stable.
 
Hi arboles;

In my opinion it doesn't matter how 'stable' strains are they're all susceptible to becoming hermies, some less susceptible than others.

you arent going to see "reversed" balls after one day

but to answer your question , yes , i slip up and get c.s on other plants when puting the sprayed plant back in the room , its never reversed the others though , but then again , im careful and it only ever happens on rare occasions

unless you are meaning and havent mentioned that you got the c.s on the other plant daily for a couple weeks id put money on it that somehow you stressed the stable plant

there are "true" females , but they are very very rare , realcarlos isnt exagerating

peace :Cool:
 
You didn't "miss the boat" but if you start spraying now, sacs will form inside of the flowering bud, requiring you to break up the bud to get to the pollen... I did the same thing on the first plant I reversed.... It all worked out though in the end :dance: nothing wrong with experimenting... BTW why not make your own CS? Doesn't get any easier :thumbs: sending you a big old she male karma cloud... :rofl:


I know this is an old thread but I just had to say this was a light bulb moment for my last reversal.

My first one was classic, released pollen and everything was great. My second grew the sacs and I eventually had to harvest them and try to pollinate just by crushing them. Unfortunately the entire receiving plant finished almost as soon as I pollinated.

I was trying an experiment with trimming the bottom growth and I think it was the culprit for the super fast finish.

I did indeed start the spraying a little late and not at the first sign of flowers.
