New Grower Questions and Answer time!

1. Since we cannot clone, at least it's pointless to do so, has anyone used silver colloidal spray to produce feminized pollen and made feminized seeds? I plan on doing this with 1 to 2 branches of each of my strains to produce my own seeds with the strongest plant. Just curious as to if anyone has attempted and been successful? What PPM of silver did you use? I plan on using a 50ppm starting on week 4.

2. Do you prefer 20/4 or 18/6 for your plants, or even 24/0?

3. What is the best, head high, sativa dominant strain that is an AF in your opinion?
I can't stand couch-locks, even though I am growing a White Russian which will knock you on your ass, but I am looking for that magical giggly plant that is universally known to be the best sativa strain and that will be my 3rd grow.

4. What is your personal favorite strain of all time? Both AF and Photo?

5. Lastly, what would you do for a klondike bar?

1. Yes, it's been done many times. Check out Nelson's thread on CS. It's discussed in depth there, including PPM. If I remember correctly, 50 PPM is too low.

2. 20/4. The plants need their rest.

3. Sour Diesel Haze. Jack Matic would be my second choice and Auto Assassin gets honorable mention.

4. For auto, I still give the nod to Mi5, although Pakistani Ryder is pretty close. For photo, Night Shade.

5. Drive to Krogers and buy me some. Especially the Reeses ones.

Killijin--good questions. I have no sun leaves left. Catch you later.

LoL, Reese's Klondikes are the bang boom snipper snap pow, especially after lighting up a good spliff. So another question, what is a good cheap way to supplement with CO2, not a tank per say, but just a quick and cheap way to give your plants a little more umph..

 

[Muddy]

Oh ya, love those Reeses Klondikes. My father worked for the company that came up with Klondikes back in the late 40s. Always have had a soft spot for them.

Sugar and yeast. Don't remember the exact formula but it's been discussed here before. Do a search for yeast and you should find it.

Killijin for CO2 = ExHale bag. Search the net. Available via Amazo_ for sure. Good for small spaces. Will last 6 months or longer.

1. Leaf color - I see what I desire from some posts and plants, and my plants are a fair green, but not the dark deep green that I see from other plants, what is this dependent of? Does this not start happening until out of seedling phase and in vegetative? I suppose a better example would be this:
I want this

to look like this:

someone help me?


2. Does anyone have a good source that will have pictures of what plants look like during various problems and what the cause and solution is? Like color, spots, leaf curl.. etc?

KJ, pictures can be very deceptive when it comes to leaf color. Low light, bright light, red light, blue light, flash on or off, how the member processed the photo before uploading. All these things can impact how a plant looks in pictures. In the examples you used, the second picture is clearly taken in much lower light than the first one. Doesn't mean it isn't greener, but it's hard to say by how much. I think the first photo looks fine for a young plant that isn't eating a lot yet. As a general rule, green leaves come from Nitrogen. If you've got plants that aren't as green as they could be, you can feed some veg nutes (but there is such a thing as too green). Later in the grow, a plant will naturally yellow as it pulls nutrients from the leaves to focus on flowering.

As for deficiencies, check out the infirmary forum for plenty of info, including this thread: https://www.autoflower.org/f7/basic-deficiencies-list-11.html

Andy what the hell would Nancy do without you? Thanks for the info man!

So there has to be a way to slowly introduce nutes after week 1 to get that deep dark green and keep it there..
