Did I reverse this plant?

First time trying to reverse an auto. Experimenting

I started spraying when I first saw white pistils. I sprayed consistently for a couple weeks. Didn’t really notice anything and figure I started to late.

stopped spraying.Did this plant actually reverse me.

still new and not sure what I’m really looking at right now?

The only thing I see that is potentially "abnormal" is your lack of pistils. Which would lead me to believe it's seeded, not flipped for pollen.

That's a common mistake many make at first. You want to start spraying before it starts showing pistils. The goal is to prevent the production of female inflorescences by inhibiting the production of ethylene which will cause the production of male inflorescences. Once you start seeing pistils the plant has already started making female flowers. It can still work but it takes longer and often any male flowers that form won't produce pollen or the pollen will be sterile.

That plant looks confused. I think you're past the point of getting any viable pollen from it and if you sprayed it with CS or STS it's not smokeable. Time to try again this time spraying before it's flowering.

I've heard 35-50 is supposed to work, I've never messed with CS, because of its application rate and schedule.
I highly recommend going with STS if you can. It's a lot more hands off. I'd claim more reliable but I have no personal proof. I treated 3 girls with less than 8oz of solution. It stores for a lot longer than most companies tell you it will. My first round, bought from Twenty20 Mendocino on eBay, lost effect between months 9 &12 after mixing (screw the 30 days they claim). After theirs went bad I made the ~$60 investment in chems, bottles, and a precision scale. Now, I'll never have to buy it again. I might, in a decade, need to get some more silver nitrate, but it's going to be a long time.

Every 4-5 days is what I do and typically only for 3 or 4 treatments. The earlier you can get the donor plant or branch treated the better but I've had viable seed from a girl that I started treating a week into flower so it's not always vital to start in preflower.
