can I force male this branch?

[Bud-Boy]

I've left some leafy buddy branches on a few plants outside.

Can anyone recommend how to force some male flowers in a n outdoor crop in the ground?

Ive read letting them go way past ripe will force em

I tried asprin all spring harvest and got no results spraying flower areas

any ideas please

Sounds like you want to make hermie seeds, odd. Good luck. Peace GS

ps. hear it can be done with gibberillic acid or silverthiosulphate

colidal silver will work if you spray a bud/branch for about a week or so it will produce pollen sacks which will have female pollen. heres a link to thread showing how to make it an how to make feminized seeds which is what im assuming your trying to do.
i dunno where you got the idea aspirin would work but it doesnt an i would never put that on your plants again mate.

Look into the benefits of asprin and plants

its called acetylsalicylic acid .

ill try the colodial

Spraying the branch every other day

dont know about this,
there is ZERO growth from this budded branch
I may have to re try the silver when I flower her clones

You thought male flowers would grow in 3 days? I would imagine it taking at least a week or so, and btw, you harvested already? It's a crapshoot man, each plant reacts different to stress and reverse differently, some turn hermafrodite as you are trying and some just die..

You're lucky if you get a seed..keep us posted, the best way would be just to use a male and pollinate it...but even that maybe too late..You said you harvested already? Maybe just leaving them flower out until they die...is it cold there?

It's a crapshoot man, each plant reacts different to stress and reverse differently, some turn hermafrodite as you are trying and some just die..I think its on its way out, like i said itll be better to force on a flowering clone

The thread could of just been called

How do i force a male flower in a female

But it was specific to my one living branch and the fact i read from sagmartha(?) that one technique was to let it go way longer then ripe.

which makes total sense if you understand "why" it does what it does when it's stressed.
As well as "what" its doing when forcing a male flower to pollinate

as with Green Supreme he's not well read into feminising and selfing

Im not going to get into it, its not my place

but this isnt about hermaphrodites

You ask for help, then tell me I am not well versed. Well now I wanna see how its done. C'mon show the folks what you said about me is true. Peace GS

I had been forcing male flowers on female plants for years, using either Gibrellic Acid spray, or aspirin treatments. ( Now-a-days, I use the GA for germinatingseeds only)
Have not found either of these methods to 'cause' hermies in any of my later genetics at all.

IMHO, if a plant's genetics are already prone to hermie, (poor seed storage, over-breeding a strain, generations of poor growing/lighting conditions...) then it doesn't really make much difference. You'll possibly breed-in a certain number of hermie traits.

Is it not true that at the end of a unproductive season, the plant knows it has not been pollinated, so goes into emergency self-pollinating mode? Isn't this a genetically imprinted response, and shouldn't be seen as adversly altering the genetics of theseeds?

The aspirin method I mentioned is all about mixing the uncoated aspirin in the water, and adding that to the soil. I've never tried spraying on just a branch. However...If you want to be sure and preserve the genetics, I'd first root a few clones.
If you haven't done this aspirin method before, I would strongly request you practice it with a strain you have back-ups for.

1 uncoated aspirin per gallon. Water with this as if it's a regular watering. Next regularly scheduled watering/feeding...repeat. Do this a total of 3 waterings or feedings (nutes ok, if scheduled) in a row. Do not drown your ladies.

i was refering to the "hermie seeds" wasnt looking for hermaph traits, forced male flowers was my path
I appreciate the GA and SP suggestion though

Im sorry there GREEN SUPREME
didnt intend to hurt your feeling
