Are these really only gonna give like a gram cuz of their tiny pots and no nutes?

All these plants were sprouted by the second week of may.

A lowryder#2 with only three bladed leaves on EVERY node covered in a mild GA3 solution in this pic has some nice looking buds and swollen calyxes but why are thehairs red if the buds are so tiny. Trying to force male flowers to get some 3 bladed fem seeds. How long should it take today was the 4-5th spray (ik it started late already into flowering)





Another non sprayed lowryder #2's


Beautiful and frosty, but tiny Think Different

? The 3 blade one got sprayed again and still no male flower signs.. do the amber hairs mean seeds arent possible with this one? is it done grwoing new buds? All the autos have almsotno bud on them and yes they are in tiny pots with no added nutes but still thats ridiculous isnt it?

You shouldn't worry about how much bud your gonna get off the plants you sprayed with Ga3, you'll prob die smoking those. Ya also sprayed it pretty late, it should be done roughly around the time they start flower. That gives them adequate time to develop the male parts, to pollinate the hairs on the female and so it can start producing seeds. Its a process brother, playing god takes time since we dont have any magical god powers


Its not ridiculous, thats exactly what to expect with no nutes and keeping them in a small container bud. Not sure why you bring the number of fan leaves up

I bring up the 3 blade thing because it doesn't look like pot so it's stealthy. Also. Are the buds done then? Or are they gonna get bigger? When will I know if they are done? And also, is the one Being sprayed with ga3 gonna have receptive female flowers or even be alive by the time the male flowers show up. Or should it just be attempted to be tissue cultured?

Na still got a week or so easy, however on the ones your seeding let them go for as long as you can in hopes of them developing seeds later. Theres nothing stealthy about how the leaves look they are very distinct ;-P

They prob wont get much bigger but the buds need to mature some more.

LOL Such tiny tiny buds.. Oh well. In 2 gall pots with no nutes besides a spinkle of blood meal some photopds got much much bigger buds with 3-4 weeks left at least.
These were trial anyway. These will prob be best used for butter since its so little.... Might be worth itto try to cut the top off of the 3 bladed one and tissue culture it who knows. that should work well. unless the ga3 messed it up but doubt it .

That is not a 2gallon pot you have in your hand, thats not even 1 gallon

What was the ppm of the Ga3? between 10-200ppm? And what ya mix it with?

Lmao no that's a 4" cube. I'm talking about diff pots with photos in them lol. Idk what the heck to expect form these guys. I thought at least an inch per bud lmao. And its ~100ppm that's what it said for male flowers

Just 100?

Every where i read it says

In developing plants, the direct application of Gibberellic Acid can induce premature flowering. Repeated treatments may be necessary to sustain this development. Male flowers can be induced with concentrations from 10 to 200 ppm and female flowers with concentrations from 200 to 300 ppm. Both male and female flowers can be suppressed with concentrations over 600 ppm.

Click to expand...

Next time first spray start at 100, then 150, then a little less then 200 each time after that. Step it up gradually, was prob too low of a concentration too

PPM Chart

Concentration	GA	Water - ml	Water - cups*
50 PPM	125 mg	2400	10 1/4
100 PPM	125 mg	1200	5 1/8
200 PPM	125 mg	600	2 1/2
500 PPM	125 mg	240	1
800 PPM	125 mg	160	2/3
2000 PPM	125 mg	60	1/4
1% paste	125 mg	5 ml lanolin	1 tsp (US) lanolin

* PPM is approximate in measurement by cups.

Included with your kit is a spoon that one level scoop is approximately 110mg of Gibberellic Acid. Use the chart below for calculating PPMs when using the spoon.

Concentration	GA	Water - ml	Water - cups*
50 PPM	110 mg	2200 mL	9 1/4
100 PPM	110 mg	1100 mL	4 2/3
200 PPM	110 mg	550 mL	2 1/3
500 PPM	110 mg	220 mL	1
800 PPM	110 mg	137.5 mL	1/2
2000 PPM	110 mg	55 mL	1/4

* PPM is approximate in measurement by cups.

Trial and error bud, wont dont work this time do different next. The important thing is you feel comfortable with any aspect of growing that your doing. If ya feel sketchy about something dont do it and research more.
