highchome Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I've got some bag seeds that I'd be happy to trade for pretty much any seeds/clones but also I'd be happy to give them to other newbie growers to get you started. (Personally I found buying good quality seeds for my first grow a bit daunting, as it is so expensive and I was expecting to screw quite a few things up ). I've got about 9 packs of 5 seeds of the WW and also 9 packs of 5 seeds of CO. I think 5 seeds per pack should give you a reasonable chance of getting at least one female after any germination issues / getting rid of males. NB these are bag seeds so its possible none germinate for you. However I've grown the WW and CO from this batch of bag seeds and got some really healthy females. I'm in Cape Town (work near CTCC, live around the Bloubergstrand area), though I can probably post if needed. Anyway I'd be thrilled to help someone out, and it would be a bonus if there was a trade as well but that's not required. Shout if anyone is interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bos Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Hi Highchome, Got some Swazi Gold and Swazi x Mango ''Haze'' if you might be interested. All regular bagseed. Drop me a pm. Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oolong83 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 @highchome hey dude, i would definitely like to get some more of those from you, the others i got didn't pop, still got 2 of each strain left though. Will drop them straight to soil and see if that maybe works better. The White widow clones are doing splendid, thanx for them. i can give you 2 plants for them (both in vegging already)or if you want a bag of lem skunk seeds instead(20+seeds). Do you have any new clones? @Bospatrollie2 where you at dude? i would mind trading some seeds with too, that Swazi x Mango "haze" sounds very interesting. i currently only have Lem skunk seeds, a shitload. hopefully getting some Budha cheese soon. Only got the one currently growing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highchome Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 @Oolong83 crap that is not great news. How many did you try? Last time I planted from the batch I gave you I got around 50% success. Hopefully you just got unlucky there. I should still have more seeds though. I'll look tonight and DM you. Also it looks like I need to start getting more serious about trying to make feminised seeds from the clones I have. Then at least I'll have some reasonable quality seeds to share.

highchome Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 I've never done it myself but I want to after the competition is done. Afaik you use colloidal silver to force a female plant to produce pollen. Then pollinate another (same?) female with that pollen. The seeds will then all be female. But I've not read up much yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyCLown Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Try find the highest PPM when you get colloidal silver @Trailblazer420 has had success with 20ppm. Also best to reverse one plant (put the colloidal silver on it to get it to produce balls and pollen) and then use that pollen to pollinate another plant, this is a better practice in terms of genetics and such I believe. Instead of Colloidal Silver you can use STS (Silver Thiosulfate Solution) as well, although it is a bit pricier for the chemicals needed and a bit more tricky to work with. It only needs to be sprayed once every 5 days and since you mix the ratios yourself, can be made stronger. I personally will be trying it with STS, have the chemicals just waiting for some auto's to reach the right age and then will mix up a batch and start spraying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done a very quick search and can't find much about STS and only low ppm colloidal silver (~18ppm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyCLown Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Thanks [mention=1970]PsyCLown[/mention], where do you usually get colloidal silver or STS? I've done a very quick search and can't find much about STS and only low ppm colloidal silver (~18ppm)Colloidal silver can be from Dischem. STS, I purchased from ACE Chemicals in Joburg.It's Silver Nitrate and Sodium Thiosulphate... Silver nitrate is not cheap with 25g costing just under R600 although you don't use much so it will last quite a long time. Check out these posts to learn a bit more. https://steemit.com/cannabis/@thecleangame/how-to-make-and-use-silver-thiosulfate-solution-sts-for-feminized-cannabis-pollen-featuring-the-gorgeous-early-dane https://steemit.com/cannabis/@thecleangame/diy-no-hermie-feminized-cannabis-pollen-mixing-and-using-silver-thiosulfate-solution-sts-updated The issue with the CS is that it's not as reliable I've read, if you get lower ppm then even more so I'd imagine. Although as mentioned, Trailblazer seems to be having some luck it seems but not confirmed 100% just yet.

highchome Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Thanks @PsyCLown, I saw the colloidal silver at dischem but it was below 18ppm or less. The STS does sound like an interesting option. I'll read some more and see which makes the most sense for me. Very interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm hoping you'll have some luck too. I did keep the water at ~25C, using a small fish tank heater, perhaps that helped? I'll move them out into paper towel now (I'd usually go to jiffies but I want to watch how they do). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll move them out into paper towel now (I'd usually go to jiffies but I want to watch how they do).I've changed my germination method slightly as I believe the ''paper towel'' part cost me some beans in the past. This is personal opinion.12-24hr soak in waterStaight into seedling trays with compost(Water with AACT- I suspect the microflora are crucial at this stage)Keep trays indoor for warmth, transfer outside as soon as the emerge.Last two batches 100% germ rate.Will run this method on the w/w and c/o end of the month.Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyCLown Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I prefer the paper towel method, I prefer to watch it sprout and then into soil works well.When I tried rapid rooters they weren't ideal as the roots sometimes struggled to get through the rooter, although they do differ compared to jiffy pellets. I've read quite a few people have germination issued with jiffys though. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highchome Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 The seeds have turned out to be fairly low quality very few to none are germinating now. So I'm afraid I've got none to share / trade for anyone seeing this thread going forward 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm afraid I've got none to share / trade for anyone seeing this thread going forwardPopped 16 beans (4x4 strains) of which 4 were WW and 4 were CO. Only 2 of each made it above ground 50%, other 2 strains got 4 out of 4. 2x CO are doing great but seems the 2 remaining WW are struggling.I'm not too stressed,its how the cookie crumblesPeaceSent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
