I’m totally new to sts/ colloidal silver use . Is there any benefit using it on a hermied plant. I understand how it works on a true female plant. So I’m serious.
Easiest answer you’re gonna get is this: Nope.
Herms are trash can plants lol that’s where they belong… No point in growing a plant to make birdseed lol
100% agree with toast. CS works by blocking the female flowering phytohormone ethylene. Without this phytohormone, the plant produces male parts, that would only make things worse.
There are ethylene products on the market, such as Optic Foliar Switch. In theory one could spray a plant that is prone to intersex tendencies the first few weeks of flowering and prevent the intersex tendencies.
I have a bottle
Supposedly if you catch the Herm in time and you spray it on it will stop further male parts developing. You need to also buy Optic foliar transport as a wetting agent. I bought it to try and salvage a huge skunk 91 plant that Hermed on me around week 8 of bloom. It didn’t arrive quickly enough so I had to give the plant away so I can’t say if it actually works or not.
