I saw the same thing as you, not much happening for a month. I gave up on spraying the nodes only, and drenched the plant the last 2 times. So I sprayed a total of 8 times, 5 days apart. Not 6 like he suggested.
Now it's COVERED in pollen sacks. And not just at the "nodes" like that method implied. It has huge buds of flowers turned into pollen sacks. Even better, there's still flowers, so that plant will clone at least 100 seeds for me by itself, unless I stick it in a trash can and blow a fan in there. In that case, it might even make 500 seeds.
I had NO burn from the STS until the last 2 sprays. So that guys advice about spraying only the nodes does help reduce burning. But who cares about burning if you're just learning how to do this? I'd rather see some burning so I know it was strong.
I'd say, spray the heck out of it every 5 to 10 days, if you're worried. Eventually I guess we'll figure out precisely how long it takes.
Mixing the pollen with flour dried in the oven at a low temp seems to work well. I had pollen from dozens of plants in the fridge. The pollen mixed with flour worked more than a year later, as the others did. But the ones older than a year only made a few seeds for me.
It also takes much longer to convert a plant than I'd planned, so I missed pollinating her sisters.
I'm going to drench the next plant, long before it looks like it's about to flower. And not stop until it seems to be burned.
