When you apply the pollen trustfall no other plants can b near it can they incase it comes off and blows onto the others.im going to try a few out doors but using on different strains etc.would 2 weeks b ample time for it to work and after that the other plants can b put in same area like couple meters apart..

I like to have it in a bag and just dip a small little brush in it then take the brush and give it a little tap tap and you will see it kind of puff out. I just pollinated a branch by wrapping a piece of news paper around it then kind of sneaking in there with pollen on the brush and it was pretty well contained. I’d the pollen is really good you can spray it down with water after you go it. I just did this and the branch is for sure loaded up.
I had a costly mishap this round with the wedding cake pollen and this is the result.

Just rolled a joint lol 5 seeds in there that were not suppose to be😅

I let those males pump way too much pollen. The Who damn tent was covered and it was getting out on me and through the exhaust I think. Rookie mistake.
Highly allergic to it as well. I couldn’t breathe for a week.🧑‍🌾
The grape cream cake pollen was hardly viable and I had to beat the hell out of him to get the gals pregnant. I took the same approach with the wedding cake pollen and that was. If mistake. But I learned my lesson.

Cool thanks for the tip ..i had a job to understand what i was jibbering about in first sentence.lol.like theres words missing 😂..i was like wtf am i on about 😂 must of been the piss talking there...im right now..just speak softly hahaha..oh cool ..thanks for the tip..
Why do they use corn starch in it..is that just to thin it out or.?..so bout 2-3weeks sprinkle the fairy dust on..

Hey Max yes cornstarch is for dilution. But I don’t do it. Lately I’ve been just putting it in a bag with a few pieces of rice as a desiccant.
I like the sprinkle it day 21-25 for most strains. They say it takes 5-6 weeks for the beans to mature.

Yeah i dont think i will need to dilute .i will try to get a heap of it.im thinking of putting the branch(s) on the window sill inside till its ready
That should work. ..thanks again Trustfall .i really appreciate your help 😃👍

It’s the only reason I’m still in business Frank… the looks, the terps and the high’s is why they come back. You won’t get the same at the dispensary unless your paying 3-400$ an ounce.
Heavy 16 Foilar is a fantastic product. Here’s a link to better understand what it does then I can tell you. Scroll pass the price tag for the info.
In my terms it makes the fan leaves bigger🤣. Everything else has to be going right as well to really see the benefits. They recommended spraying till day 28 of flower but I will NOT spray anything on my plants after week one.
another benefit is pest like mites and thrips really do not like it.
Is it dilatable? Or full strength? Can you get a ppm and a pH on it please?


I've got both these sitting here at the house actually. Never had a reason to bust out the KNO3 yet. 😁 Plus; I'd like to slowly get rid of it actually. I buy Ca(NO3)2 by the 5 lb. bagful now. I'd like to use up that KNO3, cause it's volatile, and needs to be used..💣

I am starting to build up a stock pile of seeds I make and get from generous others! Mostly will be showing my seeds for now but I have a lot from others I need to get too.
First up is an accident, bag seed from a sk1 clone that got hit with some gg4 stress pollen I guess because the plant is super chocolate and sweet. Day 28

If you wanna do a give away id be forever grateful to win i am just starting out on breeding and i only have two strains currently that are both auto flower varietys that i would love. To get some variation in the garden your plants are beautiful and would love to try crossing any of them with my blueberry or afghani strains and then cross the babies back till they are all auto crosses

Dilute at 40ml per 1/4 gallon🙂 and do you want the ph/ppm after dilution? I ran out and the grow store was out couple of days ago but as soon as I get more I’ll test it for you.

It was more for active members here at thcfarmer. The ones that are still active already got their beans.🙂 and if you didn’t and I told you I would and your still active dm me.
Maybe I’ll do another in the future though.

Check out AGseeds. They have some old school.
Skunk1, NL#2&5, Colombian haze….
I got a 10p of Hawaiian lights x NL#5
Todd & Mel seem to have that corner covered!!
Worth a shot
Thanks; I think that base is covered well here. The best skunk I've ever smelled or tasted is only grown a few hundred miles to the south of me. I'd like to give it another try though; I know it will drive my neighbors nuts. 🤫 He's living like a fucking barn animal up there...

Yea, application ppm and pH please. Whatever your doing there buddy is working great for you. No questions about that one. Maybe I can replicate some of that. Doesn't look like it's too expensive; but would be nice to create it for less, maybe even improve the formulation, if possible.

I've been working lately with natural alfalfa lately, trying to stimulate naturally derived Triacontanol, this stuff is a key ingredient in many of the higher $$$ formulations. ie. it's a natural growth stimulator. The fatty alcohol appears to increase the physiological efficiency of plant cells and boost the potential of the cells responsible for the growth and maturity of a plant.

Quite a number of researchers have reported the TRIA-mediated improvement in growth, yield, photosynthesis, protein synthesis, uptake of water and nutrients, nitrogen-fixation, enzymes activities and contents of free amino acids, reducing sugars, soluble protein, and active constituents of essential oil in various crops. This stuff is only required in nano-molar quantity. Very, very tiny doses... ie. it improves multiple key plant functions.

It's also a constituent in bees wax, which makes a lot of sense. The more I experience some of these quality waxes I wipe on my joints; the more I'm convinced I need to concentrate on wax composition. I think some of these fatty alcohols are really important stuff during flower. I light my joints, and the oiliest ones burn like candles; I have to blow the tips out these days.🕯️

Alfalfa is very stinky stuff. 😆 Don't know exactly how to characterize it. It's very unique; sweet, nutty.

I was moving a little faster then I thought but here is a lemon pine leaner and a lemon pineapple leaner 🧑‍🌾💚
The way some of those hairs tuff together around week 5 or 6, (its grouping form) seems to be a genetic feature of some type; on some of the strains, it appears. It seems a persistent feature I notice on Sativa especially you and Bud are running.

It's like they all start weaving together, forming those tuffs at some point in the timeline.

I recognize this too especially with the c99 crosses. Some phenos will stick straight out then others want to do some fancy stuff. And if my memory serves me right the keepers I have found seem to be more fancy dancy IMO. I talked with some others at the cabana about this but no one really had an idea as to why. What ever it is I like it.

I will get that info to you ASAP! I’ve used alfalfa in tea for veg and man that really boost the crap out of them.

Time to show you guys my favorite little project going right now.😀
I had a green dream for this cross knowing I only wanted to pollinate one strain with it.
Meet original diesel x Molokai frost (goodgearseeds). Good gear sent me a pack of the Molokai frost a year ago, grew out six of them 1 female 3males and seed that didn’t take. I collected pollen from the two best males to save. After growing out the female the high the terp profile something told me this is going to be good. I wanted a indoor friendly Molokai frost with bigger calx. So far things are pinning up well. Still going to be longer flowering on this one, I’m thinking 11-12 weeks.. maybe? MF goes feom 10-14 weeks depending on the pheno. Depending how this turns out I may bx1 it back to original diesel one more time to try to get the flowering time down to 70 days.
This is the best pheno of three.🧑‍🌾 and I only germinated 6 of these for a 50/59 m/f split.
This was about a week ago and they been turning it on getting plump so we will see how things unfold soon. This may be the largest cola I’ve ever grown and it’s under a veg led light😅
