What did you use to reverse? I have used CS but it was a PIA and am thinking of trying GA3 next time. Currently only breeding true males.

@katsu hope things been well, looks as if you been a busy man.
Morrocans are gonna get wet first thing in Sept.
Glad to see you did your S1'S again got my eye on those the blue lime pie and the ogkb. Keep me in mind.

I've used STS in the past. This time I used GA3.

@katsu
Great...Could I impose on you for details? PPMs time sprayed etc? I would be grateful as the info on the web is sparse and contradictory (for a change..LOL)
I have some GA3 on hand that I haven't tried yet.

.5g GA3 to 1 liter distilled water. GA3 isn't water soluble so you will need to add a drop of rubbing alcohol, purchase water soluble GA3, or let it sit for a few days to properly dissolve. Directions suggest that you should "lightly spray" the tops for a couple of weeks until the flowers show. Lower concentrations produce less flowers, higher concentrations may inhibit pollen production - you will probably need to experiment on your plant to find what works best - they are all different. For the P98 reversal, the pollen was a little stubborn dropping and I ended up shaking the shit out of the plant to make sure the pollen came out :-)

TY..That's the same concentration and info that I saw on the net!r solubility
I see some suggest spraying a week PRIOR to 12/12 and other say after you flip?

The pollen that I got from reversing with CS was also hard to get out (and small amounts). I had to place a branch in a sealed glass and shake the crap out of it to get at the pollen..was very worth it and my crosses were exactly what I wanted.
Sorry about the Burble..was afraid to move him and that light is my spare..LOL

Matthew Riot suggests taking a cotton ball with the GA3 solution and gently rubbing the stubborn balls that haven't opened. As I plan on doing a lot of reversal in the future, I will experiment with different methods and, hopefully, be able to provide more information on best practices. All of these methods are designed to inhibit the production of ethylene in the plants - perhaps a combination of techniques would produce better results?

We can trade information as we go..For the moment my male tent is full but I will try reversing a few clones as soon as they are ready. I only can do this at certain times of the year when I empty things out for a small summer grow outdoors. (I try to stay within the legal plant count in Nevada USA..MMJ card in hand)

Side note: I just got kicked out of Chuckers Paradise...

So, I'm a pretty mellow guy. I don't like to engage in heated discussions online and, in general, just post what I'm up to, share stuff, etc.

I was talking to a friend the other day about cannabis forums and they suggested I check out Chuckers Paradise. I went over, opened an account, posted a bunch of pics about my current project, got a couple of nice comments, - just like normal.

I check in to review comments a few hours later and it says my account has been disabled. Hmmm... So I go to my post to see if it's still there and it's filled with about a page or so of people slamming me. My pictures are fake, the reversed Bubba is a male, I'm a troll, my instagram account is only 6 weeks old, and, get this, that I "copied" some guys description of Bubba Kush.

Can you fucking believe it? I'm still scratching my head, dumbfounded. I sent a message to admin kindly requesting that they delete the entire thread as this is clearly a community that had no interest in having me as a member. I've never been the target of online hostility before - part of me was really angry and wanted to engage, the other part was like "fuck it, there's lots of other places to hang..."

Anyhow - thanks for listening :-) Back to our regular programming...

I got wrapped up in BS today - I'll get some pictures posted tomorrow. Peace, KB

Now that's some funny stuff right there.

The seeded Bandaid Haze 7 picture really looks rough, she looks like crap knocked up LOL... I grabbed a nice pic of one unseeded today at about 9.5 weeks thriving under the HLG 550 V2 LED. This is my first flowering with LED, and I'm very excited to make the transition. Blah, blah... here's the pic :-)

ChemSis seeded (you can just start to see one or two, but you can feel them) :)
