I would love to but it seems a little complicated
when do you stop spraying the CS? when male flowers begin developing?? i messed up my seed attemptā¦ i moved the plant in to my veg tent a week or so after male flowers started developing because i started noticing seeds forming in plants i didnāt want them and i think it started to reveg, i didnāt get much pollen dropping from it, and afterwards moved it to a closet with the target female under a 230w amazon blurpleā¦ left the door closed on a super hot day and the plants fried
Bummer try againā¦almost had it you were a heart beat away!!
Plus you got a few seeds out of itā¦randoms

I start spraying the day before I put the plant into 12/12, and stop spraying a couple of days before they look like this (I literally just went and took this photograph):
Typically, spraying happens for up to three weeks, but itās different for each strain. A couple of more days here and pollen will start dropping. I move the plants out of the tent and into a closet I use solely for pollinated plants at the time I stop spraying CS.
A friend of mine has sent me some Silver Nitrate and Sodium Thiosulfate so that I can try the STS method as opposed to CS. With STS, you only need to spray once or twice, whichāll be nice. Those powders should appear in my post box today, and Iāll be testing the solution on a couple of clones that are just now rooting in my aero cloner.

Hey, im trying Selfing first Time, but it didnt work!
Me and my College bought this product right here
did spray it on the joint of the stems. Where are the limbs come off the main trunk everyday for 2-3 weeks. But it didnt work.
And yeah this process is fairly new to us. We have been doing a lot of reading , but could always use the help or advice

So, your Plants also didnt react? So, STS is should be more reliable? Anyone other have an Anwser?

Spraying youāll want to target budsites when you do CS or STS, and doing side branches is hit or miss reason being is your only blocking ethylene production in one part of the plant when the rest of it is giving it, so ideally you do whole plant and preferably spray at lights out as then it doesnāt evaporate off while under lights giving a longer hang around time.
