(dnf reverse )kill pollen

bigdrty · May 27, 2010

Hey venom, Are you talking about Dutch Masters Reverse?
Anyone use this Product with Success?

Thanks

Water is all it takes to kill pollen. If you're worried about seeding, just spritz with water.

The thing with early-flower hermies is that their attempts to throw those 'survival nanners' (someone else's term, borrowed cuz it works in my head) cuts into the energy that could be used to produce sweet bud.

I know others have used this product, I couldn't tell you their specifics, though (why they used it, when, what happened afterwards).

bummer dude, that is alot. were they fem seeds that you used?

bigdrty · May 27, 2010

thanks for the help guys, believe it or not these were clones from non fem seeds. Well off to the hydro store to pick up some Reverse, I'll be giving that a try...

Thanks
Drty..

really? thats strange.... did you stress them alot or something? maybe just got a bad batch of genes, this can happen.

Looks like a nice mix between female and male pods, that sucks. The male ones will always have a stem seperating it from the plant and no hair coming out the top. the females are real snug to the plant and shoot a pistil out the top.

bigdrty · May 28, 2010

Thanks again Guys, But I think I found the Problem.
I Have a slight Light leak from the Bottom of the door and the 6" Ducting that is air cooling my light.
So I went too the Hydro Store And picked up some Reverse and some Saturator and Applied it today W/lights off. hope it works...

yes bro my buddy used it with success

hey big, dont mean to steal your thread but i have a similar problem as well and i figured i could just borrow your thread instead of starting a whole new one :happy. well farmers...i flipped this girl 18 days ago, and she started showing signs of sex about 9 days ago. i noticed maybe 3 or 4 days ago that things were kinda starting to look pretty masculine. is this a hermie? are these male pollen sacs? i noticed some of them have white pistles coming out of them but then again some of them are forming in pairs and i think i saw a cluster of 3. what should i do? am i safe if i notice white hairs coming out of these balls. should i wait to see or should i just chop her down. im sort of noobie to this whole grow thing but have been very vigilant in trying not to stress these guys. these were grown from seed. Raskal's fire bubba i picked up from a drop awhile back. appreciate the help farmers!!! let me know if you guys need more pics or info

bigdrty · Jun 2, 2010

Looks like the same as mine. I also Have the nanners that have white hairs shooting out of them also.
What I did was I Picked every sack I saw, Then sprayed with Dutch Masters Reverse and Saturator W/lights off. Its been almost a week now and so far so good, But I do have to do a follow up spray in 3 days per instructions on label...

Seamaiden · Jun 3, 2010

Sneakatoke, those pods are full of pistils? They look just like male flowers. However, I got the same thing on some colas from my last run, I'm pretty sure the light was too close. Thing was, those pods didn't really develop trichomes and turned out pretty useless. Cut one of them open and see what's inside.

sneakatoke · Jun 3, 2010

thanks guys. ill cut some open and take pictures. i always thought i should have my light as close as possible without burning. Seamaiden, My 400 watt is in a cooltube about 5 inches away from the tops. is this too close? i havnt seen any burn issues. ill take pictures of the pods and post

Seamaiden · Jun 3, 2010

The ones that I saw developed on the tops of the top colas, not down low. The thing that seems similar is that when I cut mine open there was no pollen, but a buncha pistils.

Fred · Jun 3, 2010

The pollen won't really be visable until the flower opens. It's still hard to see. If they were green, shiney and smooth they were stamanent flowers. They are mixed in with the pistils. It's a bitch to deal with and they keep coming back. I'm not sure about all the treatments available but to me that thing needs to go. I would not risk it in my growroom. But then again the reverse sounds like a good way to get through this run.

alright here it is fellas. i plucked a bunch of them off and opened up some of the balls. do pollen balls contain little bananna shaped green things inside? some of the balls have white pistils coming out of them. the picture shows them in the red diamond.im not sure if these are female flowers or male pollen sacs. i cut them open as well and found what i thought to be similar if not identical bananna shaped green things. are these male or female flowers? hermie? if so ill be heading to the hydro store for some reverse i suppose. all help appreciated. thanks farmers!

Fred · Jun 3, 2010

They are all male flowers. The ones in the diamond have a few pistils and could be called hermies.

The Pod is called a calyx. Staminate Calyx are filled with staminate floral buds. When they open up they would reveal the stamen (the bananna ) that has pollen in it. There is enough pollen in one of those little banannas to fertilize an entire crop producing worthless seeds. This info is in every cultivation book out there. If you get one it will help. They are loaded with illustrations.
