any size will do , but remember , you are stripping it away

these guys are in australia , and even though they might cost more then ebay your wait shouldnt be long , im in canada and i ordered from them , took about 3 weeks , but yeah 3 weeks to canada ,,,,,

scroll down for the wires , not the bent replacement ones for their generators , just the normal straight wires

best of luck and peace Cool:

Cheers bro that helped me out alot
 
Has anyone tried incorporating pulse width modulation into their CS generation setup? Years ago I bought an educational kit, it had an integrated circuit, pc board, resistors and a 20k linear taper potentiometer as the control. It's basically an efficient low power DC motor speed control kit that's used for teaching. Anyhow, I'm just curious if it would be useful in making smaller particles. I've got everything ordered that I need to make my first batch, and thought I might experiment with the modulator.

Please forgive me for being an idiot if this has been discussed in full before but I couldn't find it. How exactly do you spray the plants? I have seen in other forums that just the flowering branches are sprayed with cs but this site seems to be saying that the whole plant(leaves, buds, stems, etc.) should be sprayed. It worries me because I have seen pics of plants receiving the treatment and they look like hell. The genetics I will be working with are extremely limited (trying to create more seeds from feminized breeder seeds). Am I correct in thinking the entire plant should be sprayed and not just the newly flowering branches and flowers on the main stem? I really appreciate any input and humbly beg forgiveness if there is an obvious answer to my questions somewhere on these forums :)

nben, there are different approaches as with anything. I believe if you research here you will find that most of those experienced with CS will only be spraying a few branches, in the immediate area of where the plant will show it's sex. This forum can be a bit overwhelming to find information on so don't worry at all about asking questions when you have researched it and especially when you find differing opinions. I hope that answer helps you.
 
Thanks so much for the speedy reply! I guess I'm confused as to why people are saying the whole plant should be changed and not just branches... I have read that bottom branches are better changed and then used to pollinate the rest of the plant. The poster on that site said that the pollen production was indeed low but here people are saying to change the whole plant and there will be copious amounts of pollen. This would require spraying every part of the flowering parts of the plant right? And not the larger fan leaves ( solar panels)?

Once again, it depends on what you want to accomplish. For instance, if you were only looking to collect pollen for crossing to another female then you may want to hit the entire plant and get as much pollen as possible, or maybe you were going to cross with a different female strain.

This is true if you are selfing the same plant

That is correct, just hit the flowers, the fan leaves aren't important. Also, if your are trying to pollinate the same plant then it doesn't really matter about low pollen production. A small amount will go a long way. lol Wait until you have one that you didn't intend get pollinated and you will see what I mean. Seeds everywhere.
