so i pollinated my female fast bud#2 with some pollen from a male himalayan blue diesel. the resulting seeds will be used to breed feminized seeds with the colloidal silver ive made.

below are pics of the setup right now (just for seed starting and photo mothers). there are at least 20 (not all pictured) germinated califlowers in a compost mix. when they show sex, the males are going to be tossed out and a few select females will get the cs treatment. ill update when they start showing sex

I hope everything goes well with the production of seeds I stay here:)
 
cool, thanks for the support everyone! im hoping that the califlower that broke ground on 10-5 will start showing sex within the next few days. i was going to do himalayan blue diesel as well in this run but i really want to ensure i get pure genetics.

ive started another 15 regular califlower seeds, plus the 15 (sorta) pictured above. when they show sex, the best 6 will go into my autoflower stealth cabinet which runs 400w of cfls.

im reading up on what i should be looking for in the plants i select. i mixed the fast bud #2 in with the hbd in order to make this one of the fastest strains available. so i think im going to only select from the first to show sex, even if the slower ones look a little better. I had a problem with my hbd where it was to sensitive to nutrients. the fast bud #2 could take 4x (!!!!!!!) the dose of chemical hydro nutes EVERY DAY and still did not show any burning. im growing them in a "hybrid" mix and ill be over fertilizing to weed out the plants that are overly sensitive.

my "hybrid" mix is as follows (really happy with it)

Mango "mulch:"
-steer manure
-cow manure
-grape and apple pomace
-rice hulls
-straw
-soft rock phosphate
-green sand

to this store bought mix i add

-coco coir
-perlite
- rocks for drainage

ill be feeding (only for the purpose of selecting for nutrient burn resistant phenos) with a nutrient called maxigro. its powder chemicals which are added to water and is responsible for killing one of my plants when i over fed it.

the fb2 can finish in as little as 55 days from germination. this will be another criteria im breeding for.

what should i look for in the 2 females that i spray with silver? should i be looking for anything other than whats above?

i wish i could figure out a proper way to breed the high yielding, colored phenos. but with a full seed run ill have seeds not bud to judge from. if any plants produce a low amount of seeds compared with the others ill take those seeds out.


any advice?
 
Just a reminder, this is what we are making, seeeeeeeeeeeeds! :twist:

I took 15 seeds from above and put them in HOT compost (breeding for high nutrient resistance)

Heres my ducksfoot clone ill be flowering with the autos. feminized pollen from the califlower will be used on the ducksfoot. the autos that result will be crossed with the califlower, breeding for webbed califlower. i hope to eventually have both webved and regular to offer.

very nice mate well impressed
 
Update, big pictures

I hope y'all dont mind frequent updates, it helps me keep organized. plus i find the pictures preeeeety. please fell free to ask questions or tell me im doing it all wrong, its all appreciated.

Here is the hot and very rich home made soil im using.

Recognize the plant in the background? It contains ricin, i thouhg it was appropriate to have it in the background of the bag of NITROGEN DEATH :firedevil: which i will be using to weed out the weaklings :ama:. most noobs (and i am super noob) loose a plant (or many more) to over fertilizing, and i think nitrogen is the most common. this stuff will be added in increasing amounts until the super strong and resistant plants stand out and will then become my mothers.

This is a picture of a Califlower that is being transfered from the small green starter pot to a 1 gallon pot. I love having worms in my soil, and one popped out for the photo, healthy soil!

Here is a Califlower that broke ground on 10-4. It was in a small green pot, then it was transplanted to a 1 gallon pot and today you see it being transferred into its final 2.5 gallon pot.

I took all the compact and fast growing Califlowers that germinated and then moved in some himalayan blue diesel seedlings. all the stretched and funky looking ones are in a reject tray. what to do with these? i hate the idea of having to euthanize my girls (and boys).

Heres my kitty posing next to all the newly transferred autos as well as the ducks foot (which is now in a dark cabinet for 12/12)

And heres a picture looking down on the girls. oh i forgot to mention, the 2.5 gallon pots are not for breeding, they are the starts i hope to sell to the medical community around here. the small plants dont get moved into the 2.5 gallon pot until they show sex. so that 2.5 gal has the first confirmed female Califlower f1, wooot!

Forgot the indoor picture, ill throw that one up real soon. comments are very welcome and appreciated

I have posted this grow cab before but with a different setup. before there were 6x 2 gallon pots but now there are 8x 1 gallon pots. these califlowers are obviously a variety i have just started so there is a lot of selective breeding to do. one goal is a guaranteed ounce per gallon of quality soil. now what is the ratio of seeded bud mass to sensamilla? thats something ill have to find out. 6 of these in the cabinet will be females that stay females. the other two (the ones in the middle) will be females treated with colloidal silver. that is 3 females to 1 "male" im thinking that 500 seeds per plant is a realistic goal, meaning that i should have about 3000 female seeds in less than two months.

Do you know how many parts per million silver in your colloidal silver solution? Was it produced with electrical current between an anode and cathode?
