New Grower Seeds??

[mancini2]

Hi all.

I hope this obvious question does not anger too many but i am a new grower on the forum for new growers to ask questions so i'll just ask them now. I'm doing an MI5 seed-run and have a small female MI5 and a HUGE female MI5 (Both regular. not femmed) about to flower propery surrounded by 3 MI5 males with their ball sacks about to expode. Choosing random polination, (Letting them "do their thing")
I have heard that i can get thousands of seeds. H'mm, the times in my life that thousands have become a mere 500 etc.
So how many seeds should i expect from my HUGE MI5 female?
Of course, (knock on wood) i'm gonna find out mysef in a few weeks but also wanted to know how to maximise my future seed amount.
Have read that i should boost the nitrogen levels DURING THE BLOOM period ?! as that boosts seed numbers. Is this true? Have a 400 hps hitting all 5 plants as surely bigger buds equals more seeds? Using advanced nutrients n superthrive.
Happiy i have studied polination, pollen, and i'm currently busy studying breeding. (Amazing subjects)
Be happy if anyone at afn with any knowledge of seed-runs can answer one or more of my questions here.
PEACE TO ALL!

I am not the man to answer your question but thousands seems a little exaggerated. I have grown some photos on my property before and accidentally pollinated. I would estimate I had upwards of a thousand seeds and that plant was about 8-10 feet tall. Someone else will have to chime in about Autos as I have never pollinated one. Also, you may have better luck posing this question in the "Autoflower Breeding" forum.

I had a seed mother drop over 1500 beans...all nice and mature seed... I smacked the female around w/ her mate for a few times after I pulled
him out by the roots...lol

Imo...Iwould stick w/ bloom nutes...once pollinated vertical growth should stop...

I'd only keep the seeds from the larger MI5 girl, work her bigger!

I just finished my first seed run ever and had a blast but it left me with one question. What the hell am I going to do with all these damn seeds. Pollinate responsibly. :bone:

 

[Mr Piggy]

I have hundreds and hundreds of seeds now, still not enough I like having a large store or genetics to choose from. More, MORE!

I just need enough for me and Juliet :thumbs:
