Hi there,

Im trying to feminize seeds for the first time. I sprayed sts over 3 female plants on the 12th and now i can see that they are growing female flowers but there are no signs of male flowers. Is this normal ??

Thanks for the reply. Looks like one of them is starting to grow male flowers finaly. I'll see how it goes with the other two and maybe spray them again :)

I harvested couple of plants with fem seeds already with this sts technique. This article posted above is just for a start. Some MJ plants will produce male flowers with 1:9 ratio(as stated in howto). But i've seen numerous cases, including my own where i had to up the ratio. I found 1:2, 1:4 ratios working fine for me. You could even go with 1:1. I did not see yellowing mentioned in the howto. Was spraying every other day. It takes about 2-4 weeks for male flowers to fully develop.
I even revegged one fem>male plant and then it was forming fem flowers again.
Hope that helps, cheers

Thanks simisimis :)

I use a different formula. In the one mentioned above the numbers are 0.05g od nitrate per 1 L and 0.25g of sodium per 1L. What I used was 0.75g of nitrate and 4g of sodium per 1L.

But the plants did get burned so i'll lower the dosage next time. The thing is that i wasnt expecting any female flowers which seems to be normal.

The other two didnt grow any male flowers yet but they are slower flowering so it may just take them a bit longer. We'll see. Will have to try a couple of times to get it right ;)

I also use 1:1 ratio sts an spray every few days. It even reverses a single branch.
