Hi everyone, I'm completely new here, and I enjoy sharing my hobby with other growers.

I've been working on this grow for a while now. I currently have two strains growing in a homemade hydro bubble bucket. On the left is Acapulco Gold, and on the right is San Fernando Valley x The Purps.

My goal is to make feminized seeds using these two strains. I reversed the San Fernando Valley x The Purps plant and treated a few branches with homemade STS.

The plants still need about 5 to 7 weeks to mature before the seeds are ready to harvest.

Hey @thedrywalldr, do you already have a good STS formula and treatment plan, or are you still looking for one? :)
I can help you with a good formula if you're interested ? ✌

Okay, @thedrywalldr here is my STS Formula -
What do you need.
silver nitrate
sodium thiosulfate (Water Free) or sodium thiosulfate (pentahydrate)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
How to prepare it.
Take 2 dark brown bottles that can hold 250 ml of liquid.
Fill each bottle with 250 ml of distilled water or filtered spring water.
Give the bottles names like A and B
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Take 0.4 gr of silver nitrate and pour it into bottle A. Screw on the cap and shake well.
Then put it in the refrigerator.

Take sodium thiosulfate 1.58 gr and pour it into bottle B. Screw on the cap and shake well.
Then put it in the refrigerator.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then take a small spray bottle and put 18 ml of distilled or filtered spring water into it. Then take 1 ml from bottle A, add it to the water, and take 1 ml from bottle B and add that to the water. Shake well, and the spray is ready for use.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then, how you are going to use the STS.
You take a branch from your plant or a whole plant.
You can start treating it in two ways.
You can start treating the plant one week before you put it into flowering,
or when you put the plant into flowering. I personally start when I put the plant into flowering.
Spray the entire plant or branch thoroughly with the STS just before the lights go out.
Repeat this every day until you can clearly see the male flowers.
Then spray every other day: one day on, the next day off. Do that for a week.
After that week, skip one day again, don't spray for two days, and spray again for the third day until the first flowers open. And then stop spraying.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Store bottles A and B in a well-kept, dark, and cool place in the refrigerator.
You can certainly store the liquid like this for a year.
And I advise you to use gloves.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And if you have any more questions, you know where to find me. :)
 
Okay guys, just a quick update. The plants were harvested 1 week ago.
I actually wanted to let them stand a bit longer,
but I'm getting a visit from the energy company soon for a new power meter. So I had to take them off a little earlier. But I
just checked on a bud of Acapulco Gold that I pollinated with San Fernando Valley x The Purps; there are some nice seeds in it again, mission accomplished 😆. I also gave it a strain name; I call it >>> The Golden Valley <<< when i start grow the seeds.
you see them here . Adios :)

I just took two more photos of the buds that I put in a bucket for a bit, so that I can remove the shack leaf later at my leisure to make a little bit of resin out of them.
