hello,new here,but been growing pot for 55 years,but retired and moved to a pacific island,but virus brought me back to Calif. Now days there are a lot of clones for sale,but i want to keep the strain pure for breeding,as i get much bigger plants from seeds i sprout..so i would like to force a lower branch to produce male flowers,after getting the pollen,cut it off, so female grows. in my youth i found a African violet hormone spray florigen,that would produce flowers in 24 hours is there anything like that today on the market
Welcome to the City. Several of us here in California. You have a few years on me. Not sure what the latest greatest goo is. Likely find it in the breeding section. I'll put out some feelers and see what turns up. BNW
Sodium theosulphate/ silver nitrate is popular. Takes longer than a day though. Usually spray 5 days before flip and every 5 days until male flowers appear. Works with 3-4 applications most times.
