STS feminized seeds production: No pollen produced

I last sprayed about 2 weeks ago and see a couple ball clusters on the bottom branches of 3 plants, but 95% is female flowers (that I can’t harvest). Weird that the STS didn’t seem to work, I tried one time prior to this with the same stock solutions, but only spray at 12/12 switch. Maybe I need to remake the stock solutions, maybe something else was off, any ideas appreciated.

Are you spraying until it's dripping off of the leaves? I've mixed at the same concentration you used and haven't had a plant not reverse. Are you adding something as a surfactant? Because I've seen posts where people are but I never do. You don't want anything interfering with the interaction of the STS and the leaves.

Here's a picture of the latest reversal I did taken on 3/11/2021. You can see that it's dropping pollen naturally like a true male and no pistils anywhere.

Yes, spraying until dripping off everywhere, especially focusing on making sure all the nodes are dripping. I have been mixing in a few drops of pure castile soap as a surfactant in each batch...maybe that's interfering like you said. I will try mixing up a new batch from the stock solutions without soap. I'm going to try spraying these same plants just for kicks... hope to change them still. Thanks for the tip xtsho, and beautiful pic (my hopes and dreams)!

Did spraying without the soap work?
