First time reversing a female with STS

Used STS to reverse one of two clones:

I sprayed every three days starting a week before flipping to 12/12 and stopped a couple weeks after once I saw the sacs forming.

As of now, it's about 19 days past 12/12. I figure another 10-14 days before pollen will release. Should be perfect timing to pollenate the other clone.

I will say it's been much easier than using colloidal silver.

I don't recall sts 10 years back when I was active. It seems to be newer of a form of reversal. Any issues with it? Why easier than colloidal silver?

Did you follow a particular recipe/method of mixing? I've seen a few different levels of dilution on online articles
I love only having to spray every 5 days, rather than with CS

Each plant seems to differ a bit in timing and personally just wanting a micron or two.
I sprayed lower branches 4 days apart, week prior for a total of 5 times.
I have way more than I could need at two weeks in.

Easier in the sense that it requires far fewer applications. I'm not out of the woods yet though as I need to make sure I get enough viable pollen.

I actually bought it pre-mixed on Amazon. I only make seeds about twice per year so figure I'd just buy it and if it works out, I'll mix it myself next time.

Can you share which sts you picked up, your pic looks like you had great results so far.

Great job.

Thought I would check a calyx to see what I have since none of the seeds are really showing yet, but they look good:
