you do know that when you treat the plant you cannot smoke or ingest it at all right?

It’s very bad to do so. Even thouh it is not systematic.
I have seen newer growers ingesting their treated plants. I have no problem with ‘pollen chuckers’ but ignorance is another story !

Does anyone remember the name of that chemical that was sprayed on seeds in the 70’'s in theory to make higher thc plants?
You couldnt smoke the first years bud after spraying the seed because it was toxic but the 2nd year it was supposed to be fine and much more potent

Colchicine
Highly toxic , I’d just smoke more weed before I started manipulating plants into polyploids

Colchisine was used for making fem plants that could not be used till the next year.

Not sure on the fems, but it was what they put in “bud hardeners” and you don’t want to mess with it. Nasty stuff.

Even if it’s on a side branch? Though I’d probably be spraying an entire cutting anyway, it would be good to know.

Personally if I’m treating a plant with anything for seeds, pollen or anything other then simply growing to smoke it. I would NOT smoke it with a 10ft pipe. Ya live longer that way…

I suppose if u isolate the branch well enough. And u can make sure it doesn’t get the rest of the plant; even then it’s more confident than I would be. Why not just make two cuts and spray one smoke the other??
I would do some more research on it if you plan on partial spraying. As for adverse effects, there won’t be much study on smoking it so better on the safe side!

You would or you wouldn’t?
haha for a second was curious if a 10 ft pipe wuld purify the smoke

From what I’ve read, The seed plant would be fine to use… if you like over ripen bud with real couchlock effects and a hangover. Seeds usually take much longer than the usual harvest time to mature.
Like I said, more for general info. I’m planning to spray an entire clone separately to collect pollen for storage and immediate use too. Then toss the plant.

Do this 100%… 2 separate cuttings… 1 Not treated and 1 sprayed with chemicals… Labeling them correctly will be advised…

Yes, IF you can remove it away from all the other plants, in a different room… spray it, let it soak up… when placing back with other plants, DONT let the treated plant rub on other plants…

It’s a lot of work to do a partial branch in my opinion. Even a seperate cutting is easy to mix up. Accidentally spray the wrong plant because u grabbed the wrong bottle one morning.
Ideally would have a separate tent. Even a greenhouse with proper equip. Small one

I will be keeping those I spray in the male cab quarantined and the moms once pollinated will go into the breeding closet just common sense and good breeding practices in my opinion anyways and my concerns are 100% getting this to work making viable feminized pollen and pollinating some seed mommas
