I Personally dont like reversing plants that hermie easily with light manipulation. I had a beautiful auto i was gonna use back when i was making them seeds and right as i went to start spraying she had balls going up the main line.I couldnt use her because of that.
Sometimes crossing 2 hermie prone plants may cancel each other out or the trait might skip a generation.Thats why i test the seedlings of that pair.
I always stress new plants when i get them. Going in the room flipping the lights on when i feel like,High Nitrogen in flower,Massive amounts of dry kool bloom.I have yet to see the cake throw 1 ball.
Now onto the part of reversing.Spraying CS on a female only blocks the ethylene in the plant. They need that to make female flowers. When they Dont have it the only thing left to do is throw male sex parts.CS doesnt make the female throw balls it just deprives her of what she needs. It's tricking the plant per say.
So in reality anyone that said they tried to reverse wedding cake with CS but she threw balls from light manipulation is full of shit.Either she is gonna herm or not and I Have not seen any sign of that whatsoever.
@Dustjesus what say you?
Forcing a female to throw balls from CS or any other silver nitrate that will never otherwise herm is the sure fire way to make solid fems.If a female has the tendancy to throw balls without CS than the plant really should not be used. The harder it is to reverse a plant the better it is for producing non hermie offspring.If plant throws balls from spraying in a week i doubt i will use her. I've had some take up to 4 weeks and looked hald dead but they always lose in the end. I'ts just a matter of having a super healthy plant that can withstand the abuse and having a high PPM of CS. Not that store bought shit that a laser barely shoots through.Im talking when you put a laser in it, It looks like a light saber in the jar.
So that is really the only way to FORCE a plant. I think late stage nanners and light manipulation dont really matter. You can always test those seeds but its most likely the offspring will herm.At least 1 out of 4.
I think that is what gave feminized seeds a bad name, People reversing plants that were already throwing balls to begin with or just using plants that hermie on there own.
Spraying CS is a pain in the ass and you really need super healthy plants for it to work. Otherwise you'll have a shriveled up branch and balls with no pollen in them.
lmao Hell her pics are good advertising.
