REVERSED C99 should i be getting pollen yet?

[edgey]

thanks for having a look ppl ,

i'm reversing my c99 (pimp cut) to hit my psychosis , i used homemade cs (highest point was 84ppm dropping to 56ppm) , i sprayed twice a day for around 3 weeks and the plant seems too have turned fully male but i'm yet to see it drop any pollen ??

i can't remember excactly how long its been in flower but its around 4 weeks maybe 5

any comments will be welcomed

I can spot one that's open in the first pic.. it's balls are just hanging...

Sometimes with CS the sacs don't open and the pollen doesn't fall but it's still viable. Take a sack and let it dry out a bit and crush it on a glass plate or something. I forget how many days it's good for, somebody will have to chime in but it's not long, like 2 days or so.

ive reversed C99 before .. youll have pollen in those bannanas that are hanging down mate ... pic a few as they ripen like that crush them up in a small baggy and use a small artists paint brush to dip in the bag and fertilise the buds.. some times theres not alot of pollen but it will work with this method

thanks for the info , i'll give it another week or so and start cutting the sacs open

The flowers on forced females don't usually open by themselves. The easiest way is to pick banana's off with tweezers and dry them, then crush the dried nana's over a fine seive (polm grinder is ideal!) and collect the resulting pollen that falls through. I got this tip on ICMag and it works a treat!! You will find a good sized pile of pollen, I collect mature looking nana's daily and use it the next day, and normally make about 100-150 seeds per run. The reason they don't tend to open by themselves is that they grow alot tighter on a forced female than on a natural male! 'phenomenal' and 'bicycle racer' have good threads on this site regarding this subject, taught me how to do it anyway!! Good luck dude!!

thanks mr B , i've managed to get enough pollen to seed my psychosis for now but i'm gonna be reversing another c99 in a few weeks so i'll try it then

I remember when the whole reversing thing started, C99 was notoriously hard to switch. This isn't from personal exp., but it was CountryMon who was doing the testing. It took many applications of STS to get it to switch.

i used cs to do mine , i think it was a bit strong though because it seemed to turn the plant fully male

strong CS does turn the plant almost totally male, if yours looks like that your going to get seeds! Its really easy once you've done it a few times, sounds like you got enough pollen to do the job this time anyway!! I've only ever got female offspring.... still amazes me that it works!!!
