Coloidal silver spraying autos

For timing of autos, should the plants to be pollinated be planted at about the same time as the first ones start getting sprayed?

Good point, no! The CS tends to stall flowering and development about three weeks. I generally start the pollen donor(s) about three weeks prior to the ones I plan to pollinate.

Thanks heaps, I had worded my question awkwardly and that’s what I meant.

With @FredFlinstoner’s auto seed run project the donors are just over two weeks old now and we are planning to spray them at around week 3 to 4 and plant the recipient seeds at the same time we start spraying colloidal and STS.

Thank you very much for your help

So I can start the future mother and father at the same time, with autoflower strains, to make seeds with STS technique ? A big thank you

All the best everybody

I did this with autos years ago. I actually made my own CS. I took cuttings from the bottom branches and rooted in my Aerogarden. I started spraying twice daily before root. The nice thing about autos is they tend to go into flower right after rooting. This was a blessing because I had a head start and had time for seed formation on the main plant. I tried saving pollen but I didn’t have any luck with storing it, so I never got to breed, just self my plants.

Making CS was relatively easy. There are some fairly simple tutorials out there. I have been told that what I made wasn’t actually CS, but a different form of silver. It worked, whatever it was!
