Cool thread, I'll definitely check back in.

Ya I am curious about her "Hormone" treatments.
Have never heard of cytokinin.
As for my usage of hormone treatments: Disregard that shit for now. Turns out I was using kenetin, which is actually an artificial cytokinin derivative. My all-female regiment was a very delicate balance. Upon moving to my new grow space it became apparent that balance was ruined. My 100% female program was based on false pretenses. It worked, but at a terrible cost.
I'm growing for quality smoke. I don't even care about quantity, as I'm getting ready to dump 4/5 of my last grow. I just can't smoke it all.
So whether we're supressing maleness or feminizing males as long as we have Trichome production, I'm on board.
I realize you like seeds, but a lot of folks would like to use clones for this reason.
But yea, if you have no interests in genetics or breeding or whatever then the downsides of Kenetin usage are few. Just beware of over-use, especially after heavy training sessions. I think thats what did it to my center 3 plants. Because I let them get away from me I had to train them like crazy all in one go. They had tons of split-open stems from all the supercropping. I think too much spray got into all these open wounds and killed off the shoots. Live and learn
i cant believe you would go through all that work with regular seeds, and in my opinon the hormone treatment is a little ridiculous, made me smile that u lost your crop, all that dam work n tinkerin for nothing-
no personal offense its just the hobbyiest mentality that cracks me up, the 24 hour pre feed tea brewing, the bending n breakin all the branches basically, the hormone treatment etc etc, or the guys with 8 differant bottles of nutes for one run,,,,,,,,overkill-
Yea, I've done a lot of work with hormones and spent all kinds of time with advanced training. But given that I've fed/watered my plants a mere three times in order to get this far his assumption that it's been a lot of work has been lacking.
