Well, plant hermed, rather disappointing cause its a feminized seed. Checked for light leaks, couldnt find any, I'm pissed. This is the only plant i'm growing, as i decided to do one large one instead of a bunch of small ones. The big problem, its pretty early in flower. Now, like i said, this is the only plant in the box right now, so no risk, and I was planning on losing the ghetto box after her anyways for a properly build one. I just dont know, with her not being far along in flower at all (bout 1 1/2-2 week) if i should even finish her. I've plucked all the bananas i could find but there were a good bit of them. Extra sad cause its the only thing i have going right now. Better to chop her and start a mass of 12/12s? or finish her and hope for the best? Never had one herm this early......=( Strain was CH9 Jack.

sorry for the grief, my limited expereince is that when a plant hermies this quickly, it was genetics, was going to happen
as to salvaging her, it can be done, but it's plenty of work, i've done it
pluck bananas daily, they will replace what you pull disturbingly quick
mist with a little water, before/during plucking, wet pollen doesn't live long
and you will get some seeds, it's usually just too hard to get every rooster
but you should get bud with few seeds

thats a nice looking plant to herm this early.. any clue on who,what,when,and why it did it. stress,temps??? also like the above said wet the sacks before pulling them off, imo i would grow it out and try and keep up with the nanners unless they start coming out of the cola's them self.. or you could put pantyhose over the buds that get nanners and then the pollen shouldn't go past that cola.. good luck, send some better pics of the hermie for the class...

Gold Range REVERSE

FOLIAR SPRAY - USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

All Black Bottle product usage instructions are the same as the equivalent Gold Range product usage instructions.


Available in:
1 Litre, 5 Litres

  • Male Flowers Causing Headaches & Ruining Your Crop?
  • What An Ugly Sight! Every Growers Worst Nightmare!
  • Simply Spray Gold Range REVERSE With The Lights On – It’s That Easy!
  • No Dilution Required. Ready To Spray – Just Add Gold Range SATURATOR!
You’ve heard the rumours……… Well it’s true! Experience for yourself what “those in the know” have been talking about. Gold Range REVERSE is the latest design in ‘unwanted-flower’ foliar sprays and follows on from our world renown original REVERSE that was designed by our in-house Plant Physiology and Biochemistry scientists.

Gold Range REVERSE is a ready to use (no dilution required) foliar spray that quickly and efficiently helps to bring peace to a grower’s worst nightmare…. awful seed problems! The unique formulation enables Gold Range REVERSE to help reduce that headache!

Modern science allows Gold Range REVERSE to achieve this remarkable feat by its beneficial effects on the Mesophyll layer of the plant. This layer is responsible for most of a plants energy production (photosynthesis) and more importantly is the starting point of all the metabolic pathways. Simply put, the selected minerals provide your plants with the vigour they need to channel the correct metabolites in the pathways responsible for flowering, helping to correct any imbalances.

End result for you when you use Gold Range REVERSE... LESS MALE HEADACHES!

Note: Gold Range REVERSE will not turn a male plant into a female plant.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
For best results, see our Growers Tips and use the online Nutrient Calculator for an individualized interactive feeding program to suit your needs.

To use Gold Range REVERSE, simply follow these easy guidelines!

  1. As a preventative aid, spray your plants the first time as required (usually approx 7 days into flower cycle) and once again 10 days later OR can be used at the first sight of trouble by spraying with Gold Range REVERSE immediately and once again 10 days later.
  2. DO NOT DILUTE WITH WATER - Pour the amount of Gold Range REVERSE you need into a spray bottle. Typically 500 ml / ½ quart is enough for one application for the average sized garden.
  3. * Important * Add Gold Range SATURATOR to undiluted Gold Range REVERSE at the rate of 10 ml / 2 teaspoons per litre / quart only! A 500 ml / ½ quart spray bottle will require 5 ml / 1 teaspoon of Gold Range SATURATOR and a 250 ml / 8 oz spray bottle will require only 2.5 ml / ½ teaspoon of Gold Range SATURATOR.
  4. Gently shake the spray bottle with the solution to make sure it is well mixed.
  5. * Important * - you must spray the solution within 15 minutes of adding Gold Range SATURATOR!
  6. Make sure your lights are a minimum of 24 inches from the tops of your plants then spray your plants until the leaves are evenly coated with the spray solution and a small runoff occurs. MAKE SURE YOU AVOID SPRAYING THE GLOBES / BULBS. You only need to spray the top surface of the leaf because Gold Range SATURATOR will deliver absolutely everything inside the leaf using the top surface only. If you needed to raise your lights to spray, you may lower them back down after 30 minutes, as all the solution will be absorbed into the leaf within this time

No light leaks, bugs, anything.....However, temps are a little high at 85-90, I'm gonna take the 2nd 150w hps i have in there out and pick up some of the reverse spray. From what i just read, it will only work if its stress induced and not a genetic herm. So, i'm gonna hope for the best i guess.
