During the early 80's a friend loaned me his now long lost grow guide, about a 50 page pamphlet. I read through it for a couple of days and gave it back to him. I can't remember the name of the guide, but it had a small section on using an extract made from male plants. The purpose of the extract was supposed to be to stimulate the females into increasing their THC production and to also prevent the females from ever turning Hermi. I never got around to trying the tech due to the war on our beloved green back in those days. I'm just now getting back into growing and I wanted to get some input on this tech to find out if it would be worth the effort. Here's a rough quote from memory of the tech from that pamphlet grow guide:
Has anyone ever heard of this tech? The grow guide is long gone and I didn't bother writing the name down with the notes on this tech. I remember that the guide also had a small section on Polyploidy tech. There is tons of info to be found on Polyploidy tech, but I can't find anything on this male hormone tech. If anyone has any info please share.
To Induce a female cannabis plant into producing more THC and to prevent Her from turning Hermaphrodite ("Hermi"), take a male cannabis plant minus its pollen sacs and just prior to any of its pollen sacs opening, and cold-press the plant to extract the male-hormone laden liquid from it. After extracting and collecting the liquid, dilute it with 10 parts water to 1 part extract. Use the diluted extract to mist all female plants prior to and during flowering and anytime that the female would be subjected to stress such as defoliation, etc. By spraying the female's with the male-hormone extract, the females are tricked into thinking that a male is nearby so she doesn't need to go Hermi, and the male extract also causes the female to increase her THC production, which is her nectar, in order to attract beneficial insects to pollinate her from the male plant that she thinks is nearby. By using mature male plants with their pollen sacs removed, there will be no pollen in the cold-press extract and no seeds will form in the female flowers as a result of being sprayed/misted with the male extract. By utilizing male cannabis hormones in this way, female cannabis may be subjected to harsh conditions without fear of inducing Hermaphroditism.
