In a small grow environment, ill put a stress tested femole clone, and spray with 30-50ppm colloidal silver a couple times per day. And ill have other female clones of the various plants id wish to pollenate in there with it. Hepa on the exhaust if you have other grows going in the house with it. No intake, you want a negative pressure environment if theres plants around you dont want to pollenate. Colloidal silver inhibits a hormone that tells the flowering tissues of the plant that it is a female, causing it to produce bare male stamen instead of pistils

Water in a misting bottle will kill pollen in the air and on surfaces should you have any kind of issue


You can also just collect pollen from a clone, dry it fully in AC, flatten into foil and put in a freezer bag with all the air squeezed out, and put that in the freezer, it should keep for a few years that way if totally dry. You can pollenate individual buds with a small paintbrush that way throught consecutive grows without seeding anything you dont want to. Can make your preferred crosses as you hunt phenotypes that way/


I personally recommend running plants you want to get pollen from through a flower cycle with repeated drought stress to the point it damages the plant before choosing phenos to hormone interrupt and harvest female pollen from, and doing the same for potential fem seed bearers to understand the hermie potential of the phenotypes you want to breed with. It's not necessary to make seeds that make fantastic flower, but if you want to do further work with backcrossing and inbreeding to stabilize traits into homogenous batches of seed, it is highly advisable you do so. You will significantly reduce hermie rates in subsequent inbred generations of the lineage and pretty much entirely limit potential hermies to late flower bare stamen (bananas) rather then fully formed male flowers on lower auxin aborted bud sites.

You do not want to hormone interrupt plants that can produce fully formed male flowers down in lower growth on the plant in stress testing and use those for fem seeds, only ones that produce bare male stamen in the main top flower clusters of the plant, you can unintentionally breed some truly appalling hermie traits into your seed that way if you cross it with a plant possessing the same trait.

Great info Thank you ?? Any experience with the pre mixed sts sprays you can get on line ?? Or do you make the colloidal yourself ?

I'm not sure about inactive ingredients but I know colloidal silver to be the active ingredient in hardcore algaecide for black algae.

Wonder if that's the same.

 

[Beazy]

That I’m not sure. It seems it’s either that or silver thiosulfate which I think I’m leaning towards because what I’ve read you don’t need to apply it as much.I don’t know I’ve just got some strains I’d like to keep but also have a shit ton of seeds that I NEED to get hunting through

Use sts spray it’s what I see everyone using

sts spray is a guarantee to work but it will turned the whole plant ohh and do not smoked it...
colloidal silver 30-50 ppm spray one branch to produce pollen and can smoke the rest of the branches.

When you use sts it will produce a ton of pollin. More than I want around any of my grow spaces.
