Feminizing a outdoor grown plant question

I've got the sodium thiosulfate and silver nitrate to make the solution but when would I begin spraying an outdoor grown plant. I've got some old Lao Highland seeds and I only got one to sprout this year. Luckily it is a female. I would like to make some seeds for future grows but cant figure out when to start spraying.
The summer solstice is in a couple days so do I begin now?

I don't know anything about reversing outside I just wanted to encourage you to take clones off her so if you don't get a reversal you can keep her alive until you do. Best of luck on this. I really hope you get some seeds off her.

The best thing u could do is take a cut reverse her rather than just letting her self pollinate you may find this thread useful too hope it helps

Outside you would start to apply once stretch ends/ flowers start. Taking a cutting for backup and one to reverse right now would be a good idea. Take cuttings now dont reverse one yet.

Thank you all for the replies and @conor c thanks for the link. I took a couple cuttings, dipped in rooting hormone and dropped them in distilled water. I've successfully done clones like this before. I still want to spray a couple lower branches on the plant outside when the time is right.
@Roguedawg, when you say "flowers start" do you mean when I first see pistols forming? I've used STS successfully on indoor grown plants by spraying 5 days before I flip the lights to 12/12. Then that day (light change) then again 5 days later. 3 times was always successful. Just thought I'd like to give the outdoor plant a try.
