I just started with the Jacks as well. Like it so far
It is pretty similar to the MC 2 part, but has a few extra goodies. @Cave Dirt Cody does very well with Jack's. If I could have located a smaller amount of 2 part MC (I need 50lbs like I need to eat dirt), I would have gone with it. But I couldn't, and I did find Jack's in a smaller quantity, so we shall see whether I can make it work. :biggrin:
 
Pollen from a reversed female is female genetically, and all seeds from it will be feminized. This would be true even if the reversed female was from a regular strain. If you reverse a regular female, you will get regular feminized seed. You can't make males from female plants, period.

If you are careful, pollen will not get through the house. By careful, I mean do you best to prevent pollen from getting air borne in the first place, and keep the pollen plants as physically isolated as possible from any potentially receptive females. I keep the pollen plants small, don't put them in a tent, and surround them with an air barrier that keeps air movement off them. They only live long enough to shed some pollen, then I bin them carefully.

You are likely doing a larger plant, want to keep it in a ventilated tent, as well as for far longer than I do to let seeds mature, so your results might vary. If I was trying to do the job the way you are planning, I would trim the plant aggressively to open the canopy, and don't use a fan to move air in the tent, just use the extraction fan, and arrange incoming air to not blow directly on the plant. The key is to keep the pollen from getting airborne if you can. If you have the option of exhausting the tent outdoors rather than in, that might also help.

By placing only one pollen plant with your female, all seeds (or at least virtually all) will be a single F1 cross, so you will know what the seeds on the female plant are, and any seeds off the pollen plant will also be identifiable S1's. Ditto the seeds from the selfed plant in the isolation tent.

So, if you set things up with one of the pollen plants isolated as you describe, you will have 3 strains of seeds, all identifiable with reasonable certainty. Much better, IMO.

Good luck with it. :pighug:
Thank you again!

Well this bloody skunk is to BIG so i am about to murder 80% of her, if you and AFN friends agree with me taking her down to like 1-2 mains and bending her in half. she/he (bloody skunk) will go in the tiny tent that arrives at my door today.

I removed the fans as you suggested and also will be reducing the wattage from 330w down to 90w in the 2x4 and 90w in the tiny tent, why waste energy on something i can't smoke LOL


yay or nay on reducing bloody skunk down to almost nothing?

lol since the tent was still open i went ahead and chopped off hmmm 50%? i need to chop more as i see pollen sacs everywhere on every bud.

poor bloody skunk this pheno was not red (yet) but she was a monster plant so far.

Right so the consensus here from a few ppl is I have a few weeks to but we're all ready hitting 12 weeks so am going to go out on a limb and say breeders stated time frames are a bit of of a lie :crying: who would of thought it ehhhhh. This is far from my first time harvesting a plant but it's still good to ask questions. These fastbudz are some great genetics tho I must say so not a single issue have I had and there crammed in a cheapo plastic greenhouse and have been feed next to nothing but my home made compost soil mix and some fish mix and bloom stim from atami. I've actually really enjoyed growing them it's been real nice to see the plant just do what it wants with out the worry of massive crop sizes why this plant is hated on so much is beyond me . THC

I think "she" looks good enough for now, but you need to get her out of that tent soon if you want to avoid pollenation of the other two plants. You could take more off her later, but I would let her recover a bit before trimming further. You don't need many of those pollen sacks to mature to do the job. :pighug:

Good luck with it.
