just wondering if anybody has any info or results from using tiresias mist. I just cut a plant that i used this product on and so far everything happened just as the label said.I sprayed a couple of limbs as directed and they produced male flowers and pollinated the rest of the plant and another one as well. my question is has anybody planted any seeds made with this method and if so what were your results as far as ,were they all females and were there any problems with herms? also does anybody have any opinion on using this product on plants that came from feminized seeds. I used it on a northern lights female from regular seed but was wondering about using it on a blue dream female that comes from feminized seed. many thanks

No but I'm going with STS Cheshire BAT brand much cheaper, LOL. Seriously you really shouldn't see anything different reversing femmed or reversing regs. Hermis are a potential with cannabis, any cannabis!

I just made my own silver thiosulfate from silver nitrate and sodium thiosulfate. Both are used in photography developing and are available from photography suppliers. You'll be using about a 0.1-0.2g of AgNO3 per plant you reverse with it so the stuff is really cheap.

Look up photography suppliers (above), pool supplies and online for reagents. But hang on I'll ask a friend of mine to swing by and see if he can give you some specifics for the one's he made for me.

I used 0.1g AgNO3 and 0.5g Na2S2O3 in 1L dH2O iirc. Mightve been more dilute though. Extra won't hurt. I know I ended up using a more concentated solution than Clarke suggests and sprayed more frequently. I have a friend who uses it for breeding feminized autos and does twice daily sprayings to ensure a rapid FtM transition.

I just got my sts materials a couple weeks ago. When and how often should I spray? And do i spray justbbud sites/nodes or whole plant? Can I just force a single branch or is it an all or nothing type deal?

Lol lots of questions, I know.....

My plan for next time is daily sprayings starting a week before the flip to 12/12. Hopefully I'm getting pollen by day 21. I sprayed down the whole plant. I also want to try watering with it as well. Cannabis is amazing at pulling metals out of soil.

I just got my TM in the mail yesterday. My plan is to try and save some of these bomb ass Bodhi strains in fem form. Im just fucking around for my own fun. I have a separate tent away from my main room to play in.

There are complete instructions here. I mixed these solutions to my own superior Cheshire Bat specs, and I am keen to know what the results will be when it is used. Sadly my own test program is on hiatus as I am growing a large male.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure they stole kite high/lumi's post. He had that exact post somewhere here at RIU. Thanks for the link though it will help a lot

I don't know if you've heard this yet, but sadly, Kite High passed away over the summer. I personally didn't know the man, and to be honest I had never even spoken with him before. I actually just stumbled across a thread a couple of weeks ago that was dedicated to him and explaining the circumstances of his death. I just happened to read your comment in my timeline Dboi, and I thought that I had better inform you in case you were friends with the man.

Man, I very much enjoyed Lumi's posts... Seeing people talk about him it sounds like there was MUCH more to the guy than good posts.. sad. I never got to know him on a personal level.. sounds like I missed out.
Look on the bright side... we all got interact with the man while he was here.

I don't know if he was the OP on that, it's been around. Doesn't much matter as the info comes from Clarke originally.

I followed those instructions and found that increasing teh concentration (I think a 4:1 or 5:1 dilution of the concentrate would work better) and doing daily sprayings were required. But that was just on a single plant who is apparently somewhat hard to reverse.

He was a really great guy. I miss him a lot.

No. It needs to be silver. That's gold. Other than being valuable and metallic they really don't have very much in common. Silver works by displacing copper at the ethylene binding site that triggers the production of female flowers in cannabis. Without this it makes male flowers. This is why fems produced with silver are no more likely to herm than reg seeds with either of the mothers.
 
I got 4 Bottles of TM in Hopes of Preserving a Few Nice Female Only Strains As Well As Crossing Some Feminized Strains of My Own So Ive Seen Alot of Feedback Both Negative And Positive But I Have Good Faith Itll Work ! ! ! I Plan On Doing The Original Pineapple Express Cut And Then Tutankhamon From Pyramid Seeds For Increasing Resin Production In a Few Strains I Have , I Should Have Some Interesting Combinations By Summertime ! :-) .......... So Ill Then Proceed To Plant Them Outdoors !!! :-)
