Northern Lights x Purple Kush

[vick]

Just harvested 50+ feminized seeds.

Strains:
Royal Queen Northern Lights auto
Buddha Purple Kush auto

Breeding Method:
-50ppm Colloidal Silver

CS Treatment was started on day 17 and applied to the lower nodes leaving the top main stem untouched. I stopped the colloidal silver treatment on the NL in 3 days because I changed my mind and wanted a bigger chop instead of seeds. Typical CS treatment for a fem to hermie and grow pollen is about 21 days according to the guides I've read. This apparently didn't matter for my NL, which still grew pollen sacks on all the lower nodes. The main stem was also budding nice and fat at the time.

Pollen was collected and applied on select Purple Kush stems on the first week of flowering. At 2 weeks, seed pods were visible. Seeds were collected a little over 4 weeks after the pollination date which was October 15th.

Tested one seed by germinating it in moist paper towels immediately after picking it off the plant and a taproot busted open in a day.

Thinking of calling the strain 'Purple lights'

Can't wait to see how she performs! :booya:

Hopefully the method I've shared helps other auto breeders.

Hopefully it proves a lovely strain. High yielding northern lights with purple for bag appreal and add of taste.

Sorry to ask on your post but could you do this cross again n breed the two plants to give a second generation? Bit unsure on auto breeding as you cant keep a mother

Yeah I can do that. One thing though, can you fill me in on what that would change? I don't know much about the generations (f1, f2) and how different they are compared to each other. It kinda confuses me. Is the first generation going to be bad or unstable?

Mate I wouldnt have a clue lol ive only got one grow under my belt but I have become very obsessed. Im doing my first auto grow at the moment and after I will probably do a multi auto grow. While thats going on im looking to veg 4 plants of 2 different strains take 2cuttings from each and flower them and choose a mother thatll be kept. I hope just to have a veg room with 6 of my favourite strains and what I feel was the best mothers. Its then I will start maybe messing with crosses lol as you can tell the growing has really gone from a side thing to something I love and find so interesting.

Sorry I cant be of any help im sure first gen will be fine I just though same cross you can prehaps cross them and hope the other benefits anything you feel the first was lacking. Aim of any breeding programe should be too better the next generation imo

Hey man nice buds. I should be getting my purple kush tomorrow and my BB cheese. I was thinking of doing thisto the 2 strains. But what is colloidal silver?
Iv seen on here some purple kush auto that has been used in breeding and every plant shared the purple genes. Buddha say it's 100% purple, unlike my Auto purple from pyramid

I found it in a 100ml spray bottle. Can it be used straight out of that bottle?

Germinating 4 as we speak! I will let you know when the thread for that grow is up. Just gotta finish off my last pk girl in the tent. She has about a week or two left! :booya:

Thanks kip! Didn't even know that the purple carried on! Cool! We'll see for sure in about 30 days. Yeah, cs can be used straight out of the bottle. Put it in a spray bottle and keep it in the dark when you're done using it! CS solutions degrade when placed in light. Colloidal silver is basically pure .999 grade silver broken down to a microscopic form in distilled water. It's sold in health stores as a "cure all medicine" for many symptoms either taken orally or applied topically (spark notes version off the wiki). Somehow, it causes a female plant to hermie and grow pollen sacks when applied on nodes with preflowers. It was a pretty fun experiment and a good learning experience and it pays back heavily in the end. I have too many fem auto seeds to count right now and never have to go out and buy any unless I want a different strain. Waiting on mossy's black dragons to be in the market and like ninja1 mentioned, I may redo the cross for a 2nd generation to see the differences. Wish I could share these beans.. Damn laws.
