Wondering if anyone can give me a little insight ,

I did not start spraying before flower , I started spraying 2 weeks after flip ,

Ok , so I have been spraying for about 3 weeks now and nothing is happening but ugliness

I made my own c.s , ppm is 28

I spray 6 times a day every 2 hours , 7a.m - 9a.m - 11am - 1pm - 3 and 5 , lights off at 7pm

I did not spray today because I don't think it's working

But does this look right to any of y'all

Thanks in advance

You're spraying too much. With CS once or twice a day is sufficient. I typically just go for once a day. Too much silver also seems to have a negative impact on pollen production too. There's some anecdotal evidence that over treatment can result in pods that form but do not open or non-viable/no pollen production, especially with STS. My previous seed run took a long time to start flowering so I ended up spraying for 4 or 5 weeks (up until the pods opened), and the pollen produced wouldn't release on its own and I didn't get a single viable seed from two plants. Again, that's anecdotal but I've read multiple reports similar to mine. I would stop spraying that branch all together and wait. If you have a different branch that you can treat with the cs, it might be worth starting that now.

Ok thank you for your reply ,

I have plenty of branches , I wanted to seed this whole crop so that won't be an issue ,

I just hope it's not to far in to start now

the branch you treated may turn out just fine, you don't need much to pollinate a whole crop. The second branch is just a backup plan. Are you planning on smoking the crop or just making seeds? In general, you shouldn't consume anything from a CS treated plant but the others would be ok. If the crop is just for seed production, you can always let it go longer than normal to allow time for the seeds to mature.

Yeah this crop is for the fem beans ,

Im not going to smoke anything that the silver got on , I'll smoke on everything else that is good but I do hope to get a good bit of fem beans out of it

Thanks for your input brother it's greatly appreciated , you brought me out my little funk I was in lol
