making a herme with gibberlic acid

I sprayed the majority of my plants last night with Super Grow's Grow Tonic..Plant tonic, whatever its called. And of all the luck i woke up this morning to rain!!! hope my plants absorbed some of the tonic before the rain flushed it all away. Everything I can find on the tonic from the internet doesnt really tell how many times your allowed to spray the plant, so i'm hoping i can find some info that tells me i can go back next week and spray 'em again.

do you know what the latest time in the flowering stage is that I can pollinate a female.??? Tonight i'll be spraying my girl with ga3 for the third night in a roll, so im sure itll be a couple of weeks before i get any sacks of pollen.... and my females are all starting to show their sex... probably found over 20 for sure ladys...

one more thing... i've read about people sexing a plant with ga3, germinating seeds with ga3, but i really dont understand about spraying a very young plant. cant find much info on it, but i have found that a lot of people spray their plants around 2 or 3 weeks old. I made several cuttings yesterday and theyre under the light right now... can i spray these plants and help them???? or should i wait until they've developed root growth... GA3 is suppost to grow roots and is mainly for young plants right?? do you know what i should do????

By now I was hoping to see clear signs of male pollen sacks. It has plenty of white hairs and the buds look real deformed. I am not sure if I should see some nodes with male sacs and some with female, or will I see male sacks coming out of the buds some time in late flowering? If anybody knows where to look I would appreciate it.

I got a little nut sac coming out of one of my buds. At lest it really looks like one. yea!

Here is an update and I have a question that hopefully someone can answer. So I can only count 3 male pollen sacks. That is not a lot. 2 are these little yellowish nubs coming out of some female buds. The third looks less like a male sac so maybe it is a female with no hairs, but I think it is a make pollen sac. They are all kind of inside female buds. So my question is about weather or not they will necessarily hang down, the 2 little yellow ones are tucked deep in a bud and I am not sure if they will be supported by the buds such that they will never hang down. The plant has been in the flowering room for about 5 or 6 weeks. The 3rd one seems not to have a little stem behind it so it looks like it could not hang down.
My question is, will the hermi pollen sacks necessarily hang down as they would on a male plant?

I am trying to decide when to pluck the sacks, since I do not have a lot of them, I do not have a lot of room to make mistakes. I would hate to mess up here and not get any pollen.

I am thinking that very few pollen sacks is a good sign as it may indicate that my strain does not like to go hermi even with chemical hormones.

I tried to take some photos but with all that stretching the plant would not stay still enough for me to get a good shot of the pollen sacks.

you have to pluck when there about to open then dry and apply to a healthy branch you wont get much pollen so apply with care.

yea, but if I wait unit 1 opens that is too late and if I pick to early its too soon. I am hoping to get enough to make at least 10 good seeds from 3 different strains I have, and a 4th inbreed if I have enough. So I don't really need much. But I will apply with care.

One of the sacks is much bigger than the others but it is pointed up not down, it looks like it might open up soon. I just can not decide if I should pluck it now, or wait.

truthfully if this is your first time doing this its trial and error after a while you get an eye for things and know when there within 24 hours of opening.

well I guess that leaves me with waiting until they open, so I can try and get an eye for things.

maybe someone will post some pics i have none. have you grown normal males for breeding if you have the fem pollen pods open no differently. besides that are you trying to do a cross or create s-1's?
