I've been doing searches for doing colloidal silver on outdoor grows and keep finding indoor threads across various sites. So my question(s) is do I follow the indoor instructions and apply it to outside (at first sex sign, spray once a day till sacs form and collect and store till needed)? If yes, then thank you. Another question is there a way or time to create sacs to pollinate my chosen girls without having to go through the hassle of storing and pollinating them myself? I'd ideally like to just spray till sacs and then let nature do the rest, then collect seeds as they come. Thank you for your time, take care and good luck!!

I am going to be trying it this year. I am going to start spraying August 1st and spray STS every 7 days until males flowers appear.

You would need to spray more often. Possibly every day.

[stoned-trout]

maybe even a few times a day

Spray at least once a day, possibly in the morning or in the night. Water should stay there for a while to let the silver enter the plant.

Thank you, for the spraying recommendations. Any thoughts on when to spray so I can just let nature do the rest and not hassle with pollen collecting? If I don't get any info on that I guess I'll experiment with first sex sign on one (keep some pollen and let the rest go to nature) and spray another a couple weeks into fruiting. If I remember I'll post my observations here.

Probably you'll have to open male flowers by your hands. Unlike regular male, a reversed female produce bananas that often remain close without releasing pollen.

I can suggest you to do this everytime you can, taking some flowers and open them directly on the target flowers/plants. You need some time to spend for this.
You can also dry your male flowers, grind them, filter only the pollen and then apply to female flowers, but I prefer a fresh impollination.

See how many bananas are there, and no one is open. I had to take them and open on the females, having care to hit all the targets.

In outdoor environment I can suggest you to avoid wind when doing it.

Thank you! How'd you go about opening them?

[noreason]

One more to show you the difference and why you have to open male flowers:

The first image is a regular autoflowering male starting open its flowers. The second is a reversed female.






Hope it helps

Just fingers or pincers. Gotta try a couple of times to understand how. Just take dried/drying flowers and let the green ones on the plant
