Creating a male flower on a stable female plant

[Guest]

I've only been successful once in probably 5 or 6 tries and then it took me so much by surprise I wasnt ready with the plants to be pollenated..What a waste cause it isnt as easy as it sounds.Besides letting her go far past her normal flowering time,what other things can be done to help produce a male flower without gibb acid or herming it with light cycle deviations?EDIT I'm trying to create male fowers after the strains normal flowering period,I'm not looking for male flowers at 30-40 days,only past normal flowering time.

You might like to ask franco,gh they claim to have a 100% hermie free selfing tech...lol....

 

[Guest]

Not really sure who that is,got any links or point me in the right direction?

Oh thanks man.

I have been reading up on a new technique involving letting the plant go past harvest time. It is said some plants will create male flowers if left unharvested for a few extra weeks. You then save the male flowers and pollenate a clone that came from the same plant. I intend trying this on some plants I have going at the time being.....I am wondering if it would help to alter the light cycles and raise the temperatures?

 

[Farmer John]

That technique is well known and might work better than any that involve chemicals and such...

I have some strains that are very stable. I have tried many different stress methods and couldn't get them to hermie. I was so abusive with them I felt bad, lol. This will be my first try with the extra time and I am hoping it works. I never thought I would see the day I was wanting a hermie.....

there are many thigs you can do without using acids,,,, hell most ppl do it anyway!!!
STRESS the plant!!! thats it! been doing it for years and years ,, too much phosphrous,
flowering tooo long works ,, but after ya flower it ,, interupt the light cycle,, start giving it weird flower cycles! or light cycles! ther are many many more tricks

so are you pollinating the flowering plant with the sacs off of the flowering plant? or just using the pollin off of that plant to pollenate others? sorry for the ignorance. just dont really understand here.

Soma uses a technique called Rodelization, it basically means leaving your lady for 2-3 weeks after when you would have picked her to see if she will put out a few male bananas and self-pollinate. Not all plants will od this, but Soma says a lot will.

I just found my first hermie during flowering for a couple of years, seen a couple that had both male and female flowers right from when they first showed sex, those were culled. This one was at 40 days of 12/12 and popped out this banana.

if you use light cycles to get it to hermie you might have a chance of hermie in future seeds. specially if the future seeds are subject to the same stress you might want to use a stress that the plant might not expirence in real life. IE the exteneded flowering.

Exactly,thats why I said I wasnt interested in plants that herm at 30-40 days.Me and you are looking for the same thing JJ.I actually got blockhead to give me a male flower 1 in 5 tries,and I had nothing to pollenate.I dont want to self pollenate,I'm going to pollenate either FS ice ir white widow,probably ice.What sounds better blockice or blockwidow lol?Seriously,Dutch passion has been using this method for years and years though soma like to take credit for "rodelization",thats a bunch of phooey.Hell when I was successful that one time I never heard of rodelization,I got the idea from the DP website same as soma.Damn I hate kingpins lol.Anyway,stressing the plant in any way other than letting her go past her normal cycle could result in producing hermies,which I dont want of course.I guess its just a matter of letting nature do her thing and hoping for the best,unlessw someone has other infoEDIT JJ yoiu say you occasionally find a seed in your plant I bet if you looked hard enough,you'd find a male flower.I know a female can produce a seed,but I dont believe it can be done without pollen.They've proved it in some plants,I've done a lot of reading since you brought up the subject.I could be wrong,cannabis could be one of those plants,I just dont believe it,yet.

You want to pollenate a clone taken from the same plant that you got the male flowers from.....
