I have had a lot of issues trying to reverse female plants where they reverse just fine but they either dont drop any pollen or I have to pick off the individual balls and extract the pollen out. Pretty tedious.

Right now I am trying some different spray intervals, I am testing spraying at the following days of flower with the Sigma STS recipe diluted at 1:6:

-5, 1, 5
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
1, 7, 14
7, 14, 21

What have other chuckers found to be the best way to get the females to reverse AND drop pollen?

Cheers
The 2 times I used sts I didn't have success. 1st time plant produced balls but no pollen. 2nd time with different strain sts just acted like a contact herbicide and burnt the plant. Even when I diluted the sts it still burnt the plant. Ill be interested in your results, good luck.

When I use 23-34 ppm range colloidal silver I always have success. Of the 3 strains I reversed that way 1 I had to manually extract pollen from the bananas. The other two strains would drop pollen more like a male plant, so much easier to collect and use.

The cs just requires spraying the plant once a day for 3 weeks or more though. 1st time I use cs I sprayed plant 2x a day but it made no difference 1 or 2x in my experience.

Dropped some Unicorn Poop f2's, Solfire's why u gelly, Demonic Genetics grape zotz x UK cheese and his wedding cake x purple punch, Katsu's key lime kush in h2o.

Thanks man. Yeah a couple of mates are also experimenting with different recipes with varying levels of success. I will try to CS next if I have no luck this time.

I'm messing with some homemade CS it was testing around 60ppm on my tds meter and seemed to burn them so I dilluted it by half and it looks like I'm getting some male flowers fingers crossed

Try exe, hybs juice is what the big boys use. One application, you’ll think the plant is gonna die but it won’t. It’s the shut, a lil expensive but worth it

Thanks mate. Getting male flowers is not a problem its just that often they are either sterile or you need to pick them off and grind out the pollen. Good luck with yours!

I used the EXE spray for my reversal and I’m glad I listened to people like CSI, perfect reversal and made a ton of seed. A helpful hint, listen to what the pro’s use. I would rather pay more money with success than save a few bucks and fail. 1 spray and done. I’m a happy camper over here!

Hyb is an og from the old days, but pretty approachable. I been picking his brain for a minute per what he thinks bout the fem scene, landrace scene, etc. he’s got a lil bit diff take on the deal than most. He runs sales and discounts also. I gave away 2 mendo20twenty fem sprays after researching the other results of exe
Havagoodone lol

Cool man glad its working for you. I guess I just enjoy the DIY aspect of experimenting and figuring shit out as much as the final result. I basically just grow bud and do a bit of chucking on the side on a micro level. Its great to have a benchmark to aim for though. 1 spray and done seems like as good as it gets. Cheers

Have you had trouble with collodial silver spray in the past? Seems to be pretty foolproof to this fool

I just read my post, it did come off a bit rude. Everyone is entitled to do what they would like with this plant, I just wanted to let people know the success I’ve had. I did a ton of research before buying EXE and I waited for a sale, you don’t need that much diluted product for a successful reversal so you don’t have to buy the largest amount.

Truffle Milk
White Truffle #5 x Rainbow Milk #3

Had a few misses with older pollen this run and went looking way too early for these. Rainbow Milk pollen was straight from the plant, no drying or storing just on to paintbrush (only wanted to hit a few sites). I didn't get anything from the Adhesive (GG4 x Nepoji) x Nepoji f3 pollen but have kept the male around. Nepoji is Nepali Og x Goji f3.

Mother
White Truffle (#5) which is a pheno / geno of Gorilla Butter f2 which is GG4 x PBB

Rolled a joint from the buds the Truffle Milk seeds came from, packing some outright fire in flavour, one of those lingers in the mouth for about 15 minutes. Potent stone.

Also cooked this run,

- White Truffle #5 x Urinal Cake #6

- White Truffle #6 x Rainbow Milk #3

- FAC Off (MAC1 x Face Off bx2) x Urinal Cake #6

Critical Kush x Cherry Queen (Bodhi). A few days after I pollinated I started seeing a few balls pop up here and there on the Critical Kush mom. They are easy to pull and aren't popping. We'll see how it goes, its my first chuck. I'm also gonna hit a booberry cookies lady from Ethos with the Cherry Queen pollen today.20220403_101709.jpg
