I tried to message bob as well but his box was full (as of yesterday). I have everything to make the CS minus the air pump. Not a big deal, but depending on what I come up with I might start spraying this weekend
some is better than none....
there must be a bug in the pm/message system because this is the second time ive heard someone say mine was full , but it is NOT
if your doing autos id start spraying the instant they show preflowers , or even sooner if the plants are healthy and vigorous , be careful not to over water them , the plants being sprayed wont use up the water in thier soil like the other plants , they recieve moisture daily from the spraying , also you get runoff/drips that keep the soil wet longer , over watering such a young plant will indeed stunt it , so keep that in mind and be as carefull as possible
ive gotta go back n read your posts again , then will edit this if there is anything to add
if you have questions then ask em now/soon , be prepaired and you will do fine
also , 200 seeds is very doable
peace
EDIT : i dont see the full plan , what plants are to be pollinated ?
for a first time and with autos id say starting the plants to be reversed sooner then the ones to recieve is a good idea , you can always collect and store the pollin if it falls too early
with plants i know and photos in general i start my plants to recieve early so they have lotsa pistils , but as cres is getting at , timing is everything
my timing might be (actually it is) a bit different then what i just advized you to do , but thats cause ive got a few seed runs under my belt now lol
i will say though , if you pollinate a plant later then expected , you can push them a couple extra weeks waiting for the seeds to fully mature , i stuck a already well into flowering plant into my breeding room when my reversed plant was well into pollinating/almost done not long ago , i figured it was crazy , but i wanted them seeds lol , the plant grew lotsa seeds but they werent ready when the plant itself was , i let that plant continue on up to the point it was hardly alive anymore , what was once a plant standing straight up was a droopy mess , BUT , the seeds were mature and viable , ive got some going right now
if you are thinking (and i think you are) about self pollination , then ill be of very little help to you , ive posted many many times how i FULLY reverse my plants , any female parts will be dead and long gone by the time my plants release pollin , all i can say is others have done it with C.S so you can too , and then your timing you have in mind is prolly right
i would say when you transplant , if staying together , try to tie them away from each other , then reverse only one of them , will be tricky though , would need a sheet of cardboard or something to hold between them while GENTLY spraying one and not both
best of luck
EDIT again : i mentioned this elsewhere on site but thought it would be good here too , now this might not be true or maybe a one time exception , but what i found is if you stop spraying too early you still get male flowers , but in my case there was no pollin until way way too far into flowering , i pulled the reversed plant out eventually and when doing so found it had finally started releasing some pollin , but very little , noticed today that a couple plants did infact partcially pollinate , so will have a few seeds , but when a close inspection was done there are 6 plants that didnt pollinate at all
what im getting at is this ,,,,, some people claim little to no pollin when useing C.S , ive now witnessed this myself , my advice is to continue spraying well beyond when you first see male flowers forming , i myself like to get as close to when pollin drops as possible , so spray up to the point where you figure pollin could start dropping within a day or 2 , it will most likely be a guessing game , but if you spray too long your only gunna kill off some early pollin ONCE before you say "oops better stop spraying"
