when she fer shure swellen up with seed must you keep the light on 11/13 or can z switch back to 17/7???

I've tried re-vegging a few pollinated ladies over the years, and the seeds have always rotted on the plant. Would stick with 12/12 till the seeds are mature. Also, switching while plant is seeded, is likely not good for the genetics of the strain. I have no proof of this, just a theory I have, that messing with the plant while she's developing the seeds, the seeds may suffer genetic damage from hormonal stress. When a plant switches from veg to flower (or the other way around) the genetics may be altered by the imbalances.

big seeds and big buds is what z working with
xcept the seed i started with were both little seed, and now the seed in the above mendo123 have nearly dobule
the parent seed, in size and their not done.

Big seeds do not mean big plants. My biggest plants (Swazi Skunk) have tiny seeds, but most of my indica doms have large seeds. Size isn't the key...seed maturity is, though.

Rusty takes toke... :jointsmile: <hack, cough, gasp> ...good shit...needs to cure for a week or so longer, though. :thumbsup:

are ferts good for seed production or keep with the plain water ???

I treat my seeded ladies the same as unseeded ones. Same nutes, same schedule.

Homemade seeds are a trip...I love it...:thumbsup:

Great thread!

If I give my seeded plant some N to aid in seed development, will this interfere with the end product?, ie potency, finish time, etc? I'm gonna have a shit ton of BlueCityDiesel seeds. More than expected, but I'll take em'.

the seeds should be dark when they come of the plant and just about falling off if they arent already.

I didn't have a single seed fall out. I didn't even know I had seeds?...until I broke the buds apart, months, later....:wtf:
....99% mature, dark seeds

you would likely end up with a few varriences. some being like the parents some being like the parents of the parents.

Yes. ...every word of this is true. I still have those seeds, to this day. Last batch produced 5 out of 6 females....

Heres a tip that will help get you some of your favorite seeds and keep the strains going or make a hybrid.

Grow a male and collect the pollen. Take a small water color paintbrush and dip into collected pollen. Brush the pistils of your female on 1 or 2 of the buds and those are the only buds that will produce seed. You need to do this early in flower,so the seeds will mature. Everthing else will be seedless.:thumbsup:

I did exactly this with my WW. Now I'm just fingers crossed that I didn't get too much pollen in the rest of the room.


P.S. I turned off ALL Circulation in my room before even bringing the vial of pollen into my bud room, then lightly misted the room with water to knock any stray pollen down before re-starting my fans.:hippy:

I should have mentioned to turn off ya fans. You could put a clear plastic bag over the bud and twist tie it,so you can turn ya fans back on!:thumbsup::jointsmile:
