You will only need the second room for around 2 weeks , the male chamber , so after that you will be free to use the extra light for the remainder of the flower grow , not sure how its all going to work out because im not physically there , but you will figure it out....

after the 2 weeks on the 2nd room she should just turn it into a veg area if she goes these way........

she needs more space anyways..........

You're welcome. We are all here to help one another. Not bash because this person has this or this person owns that. People can be nasty in some of these forums. Glad at least the nice ones are here following along helping however they can.

My TS-3000 arrives today. I got the SP-250 the other day. Getting ready to plan a huge grow.

Let's do it!!! At least if I fail, I will know more for the next run.

Question....are you breeding because you have no seeds and just want to have seeds for the next grow?

What I need is a solid plan, so I know how to take action. I'm asking for all of y'alls advice. In my head this is how it's going to go:

Repot everyone today in 5 gals. Put everyone back in until the new light shows up.

Make a separate space for the males. @oldskol4evr said something a million pages back about wetting down the males or something. I guess I will have to rifle through. Not sure if I did something to piss you off @oldskol4evr , but I'm glad you are well. :)

I'm going to have to make sure this room is blacked out real well, right? I guess the best thing to do is upload pictures/video for y'all so I can figure it out better.

I will do that. They are about to wake up, so I will repot them and check back in with pictures/video (maybe) so we can all have a better idea.

I sure do appreciate y'all!

Hey k ,
Yea oldskol explained the practice of spraying pollen down with water

So it will instantly kill / halt the spread of pollen...

Just spray on pollen that is unwanted , but it can dry and re pollinate your plants , so the whole process can be trIcky , as i said earlier....maybe you would consider just pollinating the whole room , that will ease the isolation stress....up to you

The one thing i will strongly reccomend is that as a novice breeder , you do not share or use the feminized seed that will be accidently made in the process...

Those seeds will be hermaphrodite prone and will only jeapordize other peoples and your future grows....
Seriously , trash those seeds from feminized plants crossed with regular pollen....

We Will just go step by step ,
Step 1 transplant , or leave in 1 gal
Step 2 4 or 5 days to settle in new pots
Step 3 set up light proof box or grow area
Step4 switch lights to 12 hours on 12 hours off
Step 5 chill out
Step5-10 chill out

Step 10 three weeks into flower, collect pollen, same day paint pistils with colllected pollen

We can discuss technique later...
Step 11, wait another 5 to 7 weeks to harvest seeds , and any bud without seed

Both, but also because I know these are strong plants and my Super Silver Haze seeds didn't make it to my mailbox. I wanted the pheno for a very specific reason, it helps my brain fire like it should. So I was sent the Super Silver Sour Diesel because it's what was available and closest to what effects I was looking for. I was also sent Peyote Critical because they knew what I was going for and why. Basically, my goal is to create a strain to clear the gunk hanging out in my brain.

As of right now, I have stuttering problem, memory deficits, and tremors on my right side. I'm conscious enough of my body processes that I can actually feel when I am trying to say a word and it's taking a minute to complete it's movement to my mouth (motor skills). When your brain tells your body to do something, it uses an information hwy (neurons) to transfer information (think of it like running a relay race). Because of this, that tells me (I'm no neurologist) that I'm having trouble with my Broca's region of the brain. Memory is housed in our temporal region. So, I need to start in these areas to clean the deposits out. High THC cleans it out.

The reason I'm pushing my limits is because time is literally of the essence. When these problems affected one of my aunts, she was in a nursing home within two years, fully conscious of her sense of Self, but unable to communicate. I'm too much in my own ego to allow that. I will try to fix it or die trying, which I might do because high THC causes my heart to beat out of my chest, but I also know I can titrate it. I knew there was a reason I went to paramedic school and ended up where I am growing plants. All things occur, happen, and lead us to where we are supposed to be.

As im giving seed making instructions , please anyone , everyone chime in and contribute , even if its something you have just read about elswhere....

I just realized something , you might be a little nervous about transplanting ,

Make sure your new medium is moist , not dry , use a cut open trash bag or newspaper for the mess , run a dull knife around the pots to loosen root ball

Dont worry about a little abuse , the plants are really really strong now, they can take it

Maybe do the transplant just before or near lights out , so they can rest without light...

Good idea!

Kind of a shot in the dark but are any of your strains hemp (cbd flower)? For my first time making seeds i'm cross polinating both thc and cbd strains. The seeds will go on to produce weed what's THC and CBD components are degraded by half lol. Since its my first time and we seem do be talking about cross-polination I thought I would bring it up.

My TS-3000 arrived today. I am doing drivers outside the tent this time. Cant wait til you get yours set up. Plants are going to love it.

Not as of yet. Someone ripped me off for seeds a while back, another person stepped forward recently to make it right, but I haven't seen anything yet.

I love the set up. What made you decide to put the driver outside the growspace?

Today did not go as planned. Thought I bought another bag of soil, I did not. I was only able to re-pot 2 SSSDs and my lone Blue Gelato. I am bummed, they are stressed.

Theres going to be a lot of root in them pots .....
Its hard to see from here , but the top pic , right where on the right Side where the leaf stem and the branch meet on the main stem , do you see a tiny white hair poking out ? Put on reading glasses ,
