Yeah Im way too tall to be maneuvering and fiddling around too much inside the tent every day. Partly the reason why I am making that second tent. This first one in a very awkward postion due to where I have it in my house. Im like a damn bull in a china shop in there, just not enough room. I had to come up with an easier way to be able to feed them.
Looking good! 
I haven't studied breeding much yet but it's def something I want to do in the future. Who doesn't want to create their own strand? Lol. I think Im following you on your process. It sounds like you apply the colloidal silver to a female plant and it causes it to produce feminized pollen which you can then apply to other females plants to get feminized seeds?
If that's correct a couple questions...
Don't you worry about the pollen getting on other plants?
Also, will there still be any harvestable bud left?
I've seen regular breeding between male/female where they would pollinate one or two lower branches and then cover it with a bag. Then only those branches produced seeds and the rest of the plant still had harvestable bud. Sorry for all the ?'s just would love to figure out how to reproduce auto seeds especially feminized.

Applying colloidal silver to the plants acts as an ethylene inhibitor, which will force the plant to produce pollen sacks as as opposed to buds. Cannabis has developed this as a survival mechanism ofnsorts, anand the coillodal silver is just a way to force it to happen. You can select only. branch, but i decided to just attempt to reverse the entire plant
Im going to spray the plant daily for two weeks, and by then it should be displaying male characteristics. The plant that you spray with the CS is not safe for consumption. Once it shows its male characteristics, I will move the other ladies into my large tent (Still under construction), and leave the male and the female(s) I will pollinate in their own tent away from the others. It wouldnt be advised to keep them in the same room as the others, because the fans will certainly cause pollination to the others
The pollinated plants produce significantly less yield in bud, however the buds are still very potent from what I read. It ls worth it to me, because Jack Herer is ideal for ADD, Bi-Polar disorder, and depression so I plan to have them in all of my future grows to have a supply of meds so I dont go crazy(er) lol. If all goes according to plan I could yield a few hundred feminised seeds which would be incredible.
Thanks for the great info! Sounds fairly straightforward enough. On the one I was talking about he only pollinated 2 lower branches and then put bags over just those branches to prevent the pollin from spreading to other branches/plants. He said he had over a hundred seeds from just those 2 branches and the rest of the plant was still seedless. I am a complete noob and can only speak from journals I've read but several females getting completely pollinated might be overkill lol. I'm really interested in this process because getting seeds in the US thru customs is a PIA. That's where your lucky living in the UK seems how that's where I order mine
Ironic that you site those medical conditions as your reasons for choosing Jack. I suffer from undiagnosed anxiety and depression so Jack Herrer seemed like a great med for me.
Also hoping to get my parents into medical cannabis as well. My mother suffers from bi polar and depression. Unfortunately she uses ECT treatments and chemical meds. I'm sure as you know these are terrible treatments that fry brain sells and make you dependent on the system by causing you to become a disabled person. I hope I can give her some of my crop which I think will be a much better option for her. It's really sad when she doesn't remember any of my childhood or talking to me last week because of her treatments. My father suffers from lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. He takes about 6 meds a day half of which are poisoning his body but supposedly increasing his quality of life. He has already agreed to use medical cannibis but not until our state legalizes it because he doesn't want to lose his job. Last year it almost passed though so hopefully this year it would.
I'm not really a religious person but I find it a bizarre coincidence that I have such a passion for growing a medicine that could be used to treat both of my patents conditions. So I guess I'm not just growing for myself anymore. Nothing would make me happier then being able to replace some of their big pharma meds with homegrown cannabis.
Sorry for the huge rant on your page lol
No problem at all man, thats why I made it. I hope everything works out! Its hard to change the minds of people who arent a part of the counter culture, and have their heads filled with propaganda.. It hard for them to believe the only reason for its prohibition is to protect the special specialinterests of the controlling class, and it serves no purpose other than to embellish economic scarcity. You should buy a copy of jack herera the emperor wears no clothes. Read it, lend it out, and spread the word. The only way to fight ignorance is with information and persistance
Yeah I went down that road, with big pharma (both perscribed, and through the street)
Been clean for 5 months, and not going down that path ever again. Its scary to think that they are allowed to call that shit medicine. Istopped everything cold turkey. When withdrawal symptons include death, there is something seriously wrong. Im hoping to be an advocate for cannabis, and I think its a battle worth fighting. The fact is, i am more stable and a better person when I smoke. Im 6'5 with a insane mood swings, and an occasionally volitile temper. Its like there are 3 people living in my head, and I have no control over who I am when I wake up in the morning. For those that say I shouldnt need drugs as a crutch, I would tell them they are lucky they theydidnt know me when I have nothing to help me regulate myself. Its hard when the only thing in the world that you fear is yourself, and what you may be capable of. Cannabis helps me be the best version of myself, and I wont let anyon take that away from me
Whethet its for medical purpose, or recreational is semantics. The plant isa godsend, and it can help us in more ways than we can count
PS: The white widow in particular I got for anxiety which can be quite intense. Debilitating at times.. I was.considering considering crossing jack and widow for my own own specialized meds to cover all my bases. It would obviously be very unstable genetically with many phenos, but it may be a.fun little expirament since i will likely have enough pollen to pollenate 2 plants. We will see

I know exactly what you mean about the propaganda. Personally I believe it all stems from the pharmaceutical companies who lobby in Washington. Seems how marijuana can be used to treat sooooo many illnesses in its natural form it eliminates the need for a lot of high priced medicines. Hopefully the era of big pharma will end soon with the increasing amount of states legalizing medical marijuana. Then we just have to get rid of the oil tycoons and we might stand a chance lol.
I have a sister who suffers from PTSD which resulted in alcoholism. She served a couple years in jail and is now an AA junky. I'm not saying this is a bad thing at all. Whatever helps her keep her shit together is fine by me but what gets to me is how bad they have her brainwashed. She is convinced all drugs marijuana included are bad now and gives me crap for basically self medicating myself yet she continues to smoke cigarettes. It's amazing to see how the media and so called rehabilitation centers twist people's perceptions. There is never any detrimental mental/physical effects from marijuana yet all of their statistics show tons of people go to treatment each year for marijuana because you have a choice of jail or treatment. If she could stop listening to their propaganda for 2 mins she would realize medical cannibis would be an excellent alternative for her to treat her PTSD instead of her rx meds and as a safe substitute to alcohol.
I personally have smoked marijuana almost every single day for 12 years. I used to believe the propaganda. I thought I was a bad person for doing drugs and that weed was making my life worse. What I came to realize is it was making me a better person and that it was a much better alternative to alcohol and cigarettes. I just wish I would've realized it earlier because I would've went to school for horticulture and became a professional medical grower years ago.
I haven't heard of that book but ill definitely be looking for it. I watch tons of videos. Recently I watched Super High Me and the the recent Norml video. Highly recommend both of those. I'm also a huge supporter of Mark Emery. Unfortunately my career and family prevent me from being able to be an activist. I hope someday I won't have to worry about their safety or my own for speaking about my beliefs. I'm very grateful for the people who are sacrificing their freedom and livelihood so the rest of us can eventually live in a world where marijuana is legal and a socially acceptable alternative to alcohol.
I love experimenting too. That's partly why I want to get into breeding myself.
Yeah its tough out there. Good for her for getting clean atleast. I personally refuse to do any program, or see any doctors anymore. If it doesnt vome from the earth im not putting it in my body. AA works to some extent, but it is very fake in my opinion. It villifies drugs, when they arent the real enemy. Its easy to blame them though, and thats why people do it. Its an easy scapegoat for the illusioned masses.
Cannabis and hemp ar outlawed for purely economic reasons. Economics is the science of scarcity, mor than it is the science of money. Scarcity fuels capitalism. If everything people wanted was provided in abundance, there would be little money to be made by the people who run the world. I mean think about itthis way. If hemp was legal, people would have the most versatile fibers, paper, clothes, shelter, and food in abumdance. They could use marijuana that they grow themselves to medicate both physical and mental ailments and discomfort.
If people could do that, how would they be able to get the masses to willingly adhere to economic slavery like we do now? If you dont work you literally cannot survive. If you dowork, you can barely survive. It slavery, the whips and chains are just invisible. If people explored exploredtheir conciousness and asked questions about the world around them, things would unravel.
Big Pharma is literally the onlything our economy has going for it, in terms of GDP. What happens if the most versatile plant is allowed into the free market? Big pharma would collapse. Oil companies would collapse. Once those dominoes fall down, the rest of our flawed, and fragile system would crumble down right behind it. Thats the reality of the situation. The people who control those companies, control the money. Those who control the money control the media, an oush their own agendas. Propaganda is the lifeblood of our "Democracy", and theyfeed it to us on a silver platter. Those same people control the government and influence policy making. It makes me sick to my stomach. The system will collapse, and it will not be pretty. Lets hope theres a revolution first! lol

Hey guys I don't know too much about all of the symptoms and/or illnesses that mmj treats but I think this page at the very least amazes me:
http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/cam/cannabis/healthprofessional/page4#Section_26
That's right... It actually kills cancer cells. Of course these studies aren't large scale clinical trials and I doubt it will ever replace chemotherapy, but I still thought the fact that cannabinoids cam simultaneously kill cancer cells while protecting healthy cells in some cases is pretty amazing.
