So I've read a few threads lately regarding cloning autos for various reasons. I have been on an unsuccessful journey for pollen since I received my 1st autofem seeds. Running various batches of Ionic or colloidal silver. I've tried reversing entire plants, clones of plants, clones of clones (all autofems btw). All to no avail. I've completely burned up a plant, sprayed clones for months.... nothing. I was successful in cloning autos but unsuccessful in getting them to flower or drop pollen.
Some of ya'll may have seen my 4 purple thread. I ordered up a bunch of different purple strains as I fell in love with the idea of purple weed. I had some waaaaaaay back in HS, the 80's to date myself, and it was the craziest weed I have ever smoked. It literally put me in a trance for the rest of the school day. I digress.
So my 4 purps, Dark Devil, Berry Bomb, Red Poison and Black Cream (eventually backed up with a Blue Mammoth). They are divided in how well they are doing. They got the claw really bad. Two fought through and are doing well. The Blue Mammoth never clawed. The DD was the worst. They outgrew my growspace and I had to put them in a make do closet. So the DD was so spindly I decided to cut most branches off into clones to try and reverse them for pollen. I kept the top intact and potted it to grow out as it was the only decent looking part of the plant anyway. I also took a clone of the Blue Mammoth as it was doing so very well. I mean this plant is the best looking plant, cannabis or no, I have ever grown. Learning that wonky genetics are just difficult to work with, I decided to try and reverse her as well. The DD were a little further along showing pistils for a week or longer. The BM was taken near the bottom of the plant where the top has just now shown pistils, the lower has not. Hopefully I cut her in time. Not putting alot of hope on the DD clones to drop pollen but one never knows.
I was able to use my original growspace to put these clones on 12/12 for best chances of reversing them and actually achieving pollen.
Summary and pics to come next. Should be interesting.
