Does defoliating affect plant growth ?should you flush? What about the 2 day dark cycle ? All things some people believe in and some people don’t …so I’m afraid you will never get a definite answer my friend

here’s the thing, and I’ve been reading…
There’s a distinct possibility the flower expression is on the female part of the chromosome, right? So both male flower and female flower DNA code reside in the female part. Then a hormone exposure, ethylene starts female flower productivity. Once you block that(stress, sts, light poison, colloidal, etc), you get male flower productivity out of the same plant.

That’s pretty much my understanding. The plant will produce male flowers if no ethylene is present. Genetically speaking the plant is still female (XX) though.

I don’t remember even where I read that. It seemed to answer so many questions though, I was impressed. Do you remember where you read that? I’d like to go back over the details.

I’m pretty sure it was a thread about reversing males by Sam_Skunkman on ICMag. It might be in Marijuana Botany by R.C. Clarke

Marijuana botany, I’m pretty sure, because It was definitely a physical book. The scientific articles are using dna analysis… mmm good stuff.
