thanks, i have heard many things about ppm, some say 30, some say 50, some say no less than 15, all say they get balls and thus seeds, i have read a few posts, i needed the info, lol, but what i use is marked at 16-20ppm so hence why i am spraying so much, it has done something, but seems to have made them sexless, nothing at all, only leaf and new leaf starting, i am thinking i might be keeping them too waterlogged, so i will see how it goes if i stop spraying now, they have gotten over 3 weeks of spray, so according to most people that is enough, some say 4 weeks and others say till they form balls, just not 100% sure what to do, for everyone, do i stop spraying, or keep going? rither way i will clone these again and try again, cant hurt, lol, make my own CS next time too, bought it cheap enough, but yea still cheaper to make

I am by no means really experienced at this as I just started playing around with it about five months ago but I think particle size in the cs makes a major diff. another thing that made a huge difference was starting spraying about one week before flipping . it seems to make the plant make the decision right away. the first time I did it took about three weeks to show it was working. the last time it was showing after one week of 12/12. go 12/12 on the one you are flipping three weeks before the one you are pollinating. keep in mind that the pollen doesn't fly out of these like a true male. they need a bit of help. hope I have been helpful as im as high as ten chongs at this time. lol
Thanks heaps, all info helps, yea i think i started a little too late, also will try higher ppm, will clone 2 of each once again, but dwarf them and only to get seeds, will try the CS a week earlier than 12/12 flip, but need to flip all at same time, space problem, making a CS thingie in the next few days, just need the silver

if you flip at the same time I don't think it will work. if you have a space problem could you cover one of them each day to increase your lights out hours? once a female gets so much resin on her its harder to get the pollen through . not to mention reaching full maturity before seeds ripen. this has been my experience with three different strains. good luck
was just updating what has happened, but to answer the question, i could cover one i suppose, but it would squash it a bit, update, i got balls, a little late but i can pollinate smaller under developed branches and let them go longer, only 1 plant got balls, and they came where i was not expecting, i was not spraying the whole plant, they turned up on a branch coming off another branch i was spraying, looks hermy, but still will be pollen and can use it, they need to ripen a little still but looking at the size (i can not believe i have not seen them before today) they will be ready in 2-4 days, so at the worst i get pure thc bomb and a bubble x thc, not complaining
