No pollen yet - howcum?

[ob1]

I got myself some CS and gonna try my hand producing some pollen and seeds. Started spraying a northern lights auto. This thread motivated me to try. :smoking:

Nice!
You are on the right thread for this.
What PPM of C/S did you get?
Any questions you are wondering about?
I'm glad this thread motivated you to try now we will keep you motivate to succeed!
Feel free to ask questions, between all of us on this thread you can't go wrong.

Ob1 I'm spraying it with 240ppm CS.

Your timing looks bang on she just started showing her sex.
have you been spraying very long.
I found with C/S it really stressed my plants to the point that they looked like they were dying (they will come back to life).
try to cover your soil with newspaper and not get C/S in the soil.
C/S will kill beneficial bacteria and microorganisms.
Also if you have a septic bed DO NOT discard any C/S down the toilet or drain again C/S will kill beneficial bacteria needed for breakdown.
Let us know how things go and when you see some sacs forming.

Thanks ob1, today was the 3rd day spraying. Thanks for the tips about it going down my drain and covering the soil. I am excited about this, I have a bunch of strains I would like to either cross or make pollen with.

im using the same stuff. both plants reversed but alfs pollen wasnt viable. It was a reg seed though, so might not have liked to be reversed.
The second one is looking better. hopefully its pollen will stick.

Will save some just incase it is good. To use on the next round.

As @RYCBAR said some of his pollen wasn't viable.
I don't think it was because it was a reg seed, I think C/S has more to do with it.
I had several strains that gave me non viable pollen or no pollen at all when I was using C/S. I was below 50% average success.
If you are looking to cross a bunch of strains you may want to look in to STS in the future.
Since I have switched over to STS I am at 100% success so far even on strains that didn't work with C/S.
The beauty of STS is you only spray once every 5 days instead of everyday once or twice like C/S.
I just reversed a Cinderella Jack auto and a Blueberry pie photoperiod.
They both have sacs now and today I'm happy to say when I checked my Cinderella Jack I noticed something on some leaves, turns out it is dropping pollen.
I found more often than not with C/S I had to open the pollen sacs (or dry and crush them).
with STS I find the sacs open and drop pollen.
When you get to this point I would recommend you get some black bristo board or construction paper and some water color paint brushes from a dollar store.
The black paper makes it easy to see the pollen.
You can use the wooden or plastic end of the brush to break the sacs on the paper and the brush end to apply the pollen to your receiving plant.

To be honest... If this one doesnt stick Id likely switch to STS. No point in wasting time and energy for a low success rate.

It is well worth switching.
I was skeptical for the first 5 reversals after switching to STS because of C/S but soon found it was night and day.
I just reversed a Cinderella Jack auto and a Blueberry pie photo, yesterday my Cinderella Jack was dropping pollen on the leaves and today my Blueberry pie started dropping pollen, now to see if they have viable pollen (I'm almost 100% sure it will be from my last 8 success stories)
If (when LOL) you switch let me know and I'll send you my recipe that I have been using!
Good luck with your seed run hopefully you get some seeds!:afn:

There is that one organic acid as well. That is what ethos uses for his reversals. and thanks mate.

Would love to make some "Shiva Skunk" like auto seeds. (northern lights x skunk ) we will see in about a month.

Gibberellic Acid, I can't say anything about this other than what I have read.
I also had no reason to explore this method as the STS is doing it job.
Good luck with the Shiva skunk like auto seeds.
I have 1 feminized skunk auto left from Strain hunters that I will have to make more of soon.
