Quality over quantity. That being said I pull 6 to 8 off each plant in 85 days or less in the 10 gals.

I think my current grow will be the best per plant weight out of all of my grows so far. I could agree with quality over quantity, but more quantity wouldn't hurt either. I wanna grow a 1lb plant just once and since I grow photos pretty exclusively it should be pretty possible, but has proven impossible thus far.

I know you use Collidial or STS but wasn't sure when, how many sprays and whether you can do just a branch or have to do the whole plant. I am a visual kind of learner.

​

Twenty20 has good instructions on it there has been a few people here that have done it but not in the tutorial form your thinking of mainly just in their journals.

​

​

After much experimentation and recipe adjustments we have finally developed a winning formula for our STS reversal spray. This seed reversal spray has been specially formulated for cannabis by the team at Twenty20 and is the exact recipe we use to make feminized seeds.​

It is important to note that reversing the sex of a female cannabis plant is simple. The difficult aspect is timing the reversal properly and collecting an adequate amount of pollen for the pollination process. We will outline the procedure we follow in order to provide you with as much information as possible to successfully create your own feminized seeds. Please keep in mind that different strains react differently to STS reversal spray.

Instructions​

Separate the plants you plan to reverse (donors) from the plants you plan to pollinate (receivers). The reversal plants will perform best if they are multi-topped plants as opposed to single top plants. It is best to prepare ahead and pinch the tops to facilitate this process.

For commercial seed production you will want a ratio of approximately 1:4 donor plant to receiver plants. in other words if you have 12 plants to start with you will want to reverse 3 of them.

*Although it’s possible to reverse a single branch and try to pollinate other branches from the same plant, it’s not the recommended method since the timing of pollination compared to the formation of the plant’s reproductive structures may not be ideal.

Schedule​

• -You must start the flowering and STS reversal spray regimen on the chosen reversal plants between 14 – 21 days before you flower the seed mothers. This timing ensures you get maximum pollen production around the time the female plant is in her reproductive prime. .
• -The spraying process begins the day before you switch the reversal plant(s) to flower. This should be done soon after the lights go off or soon after dusk for outdoor plants. Spray the nodal areas, and branches and tops. It is not necessary to spray the entire plant and all of the leaves. A fine mist will do but be sure to get an adequate coating. For photoperiod cultivars, start the spraying process on the first day of flowering for your “donor” plant. For autoflower cultivars, spray as soon as the first signs of reproductive growth are visible. Spray the plant every other day for a total of 4 sprays. It’s very important not to expose the plants to STS after the flowers start to form. Be patient, sometimes it’s difficult to see the pollen sacs forming in the flower. Typically it will be quite obvious between day 17-24. Be prepared to start flowering your “receiver” plants about 14-18 days after you started the reversal process. (See footnote 1)
• -Wait to pollinate female plants until the flowers are about the size of a thumbnail, usually about 15-20 days.
• **Reversed female plants do not produce as much pollen as male plants so it is important to take a few steps to insure proper pollination.
• -Always provide adequate airflow to the cultivation area with fans.
• -Healthy plants = healthy, abundant pollen. Don’t neglect your reversals and treat them like second class citizens. It’s important to provide them with the best conditions possible.
• -Agitate the reversed plants daily by shaking them gently in front of fans
• -Keep the humidity as low as possible; this will increase the amount of airborne pollen. This also helps minimize mold, which can be more prevalent in reversed female flowers.
• -If particular reversed plants tend to produce more pollen be sure to shift them around the cultivation area
• -You should see signs of successful pollination within a few days of joining the plants. Be patient, the process is much slower and less effective than breeding with males.

Whats your guys thoughts on bowl trimmers. Who's for em, who's against em. I was thinking about buying one.

@JP1 @Mañ'O'Green @Jpkindbud @Atulip I know have them

Harvest & Curing  Vivosun Bowl Trimmer

I've used the Vivosun 16" Bowl Trimmer off and on for the last few years. Very helpful if you have a large harvest to go through. The blades can be purchased and replaced easily. The bud isn't as pretty and hand trimming, but that's expected. I've used it both wet and dry without issue...

Work is dragging. I wanna get out of here. I have plants to chop down.

I do wanna use something mostly indica to breed with it to not wash out the indica high

The cannabis strain '
JEM' by Gnome Automatics is an auto-flowering hybrid, not a pure indica. It is bred as an "Auto Hybrid".
While some users note a physically relaxing effect (which is characteristic of indica strains), JEM is generally described as having a unique profile that includes a notable percentage of CBG (cannabigerol) along with THC, which colors its effects to be both physically relaxing and mentally spacey/thought-provoking.
The breeder, Gnome Automatics, describes the JEM (IBL F9) as having the following characteristics:

• Ancestry: Original Autoflower.
• Type: Auto Hybrid.
• THC/CBG Profile: Approximately 13% THC and 3% CBG.
• Effects: Users report it as being helpful for pain relief, physically relaxing, spacey, and long-lasting.
• Aroma/Flavor: Described with unique profiles like caraway seed, dill, seedy rye bread, and occasionally berry/cantaloupe notes, with spicy and earthy tones overall.

So, it incorporates both indica and sativa genetics as a hybrid, with a unique cannabinoid and terpene profile contributing to its specific effects.

It woulda been way more but i was a noob and chopped around stated harvest time vs reading trichomes! I couldn’t ever get a good view with a loupe and hadn’t bought a wireless microscope yet!

I get the achievement of a pounder plant. I like Franks small set up for the fact of variety but it doesn't fit in my busy life. Not implying you don't have shit going on.
I thinks it's fair to say one pound is totally doable in a 2x4 with 1,2 or more plants. It comes down to how much time does one want to invest to get it? As far as autos go the 420 scrog is too much time and effort for one variety plus not happening with organic style.
