Bonza Bud is an anti-gibberellins-based hormone that is available from most good grow shops. It will help keep internode
lengths short and promote female flowers.
Ozi Tonic contains tricantanol, gibberellic acid, propolis and vitamin B. The gibberellic acid can promote male growth, and
females that grow from Ozi Tonic treated plants may have increased yields.
That would be 480 ppm .... just to confirm concentrations for the Ethephon: 1 mL Ethrel(480g/L) per Liter of water? Which is 999ppm? Correct? Then spray weekly.
Also what is the ph of Ethephon? Is that anything to do with the damage it does to leaves? Sorry for so many questions, but I love learning about this stuff!

Theory says that you will get 1/4 females, 1/2 normal males, and 1/4 'super males' (i.e. YY). Some publications imply that the % of YY will be lower due to some 'instability' issues of the Y gametes... Worst case, you get 1/3 females and 2/3 normal males.over 6 years later....Did anyone discover the YY genotype yet? (in a reversed male S1)
What happens?
...I reversed a male with ethephon, pollinated it with another male, made the seeds, stored them in the deep freeze and never sprouted them....yet.

I got about 33% females and 66% males, no intersex. I progeny tested maybe 20 males, All produced normal male to female ratio's and no intersex. The seeds had normal viability, so I guessed that YY would block seed growing in the first place.
None of the HzC male selfed, came close to being as good as HzC for breeding.
