I thought someone would eventually post this, when I first seen the thread. I’ve tried it before after a local grower I know told me about it and said he had great success. Surprisingly, I did get 9/10 females the one time I tried it. Using a scope really helped in seeing the depression up close and the volcano lip surrounding it. Good for taking photos to compare and review after too.
Wouldn’t environmental effects on sexual expression only applies to intersex plants save for hormonal manipulation via cs/sts. Kinda like when a person takes a hormone boosting/blocking drug.
When growing fem seeds, I used to notice that if I grew 2 plants one would be bigger than the other.
Then I notice I’d I grew 8, 4 would be bigger than the other four.
One day I noticed the bigger plant really resembled a male. It was so stocky I called it Amazon. You know like the warrior women.
There is another ethylene blocker (1-MCP) as well. This one goes by the name PlantFresh, but is a Chinese company. I requested a sample without using the word cannabis, let’s see how that works out.
I’ve gotten some emails about the 1-MCP. I’m saying I grow flowers, not really a lie, and requesting a sample. I’ll keep everyone posted.
Sorry if I got this tread off track a bit. Back on topic I think sex is pre-determined, but sexual expression can be altered with environment and/or hormones.
This is the best part about asking a question here! I get answers for questions I didn’t know I had. Appreciate the depth and breadth of the conversation friends
and how did your test go? 1-mcp becomes a gas. That would be problematic with other female plants in the tent, you would have to block it somehow with a sheet of glue or something.
1-mcp is also often included in these small cut flower packs
