Stretch & flowing stage continues nicely.. Have just let the "dud" continue. Spraying with Ag solution just to see if the entire plant goes male.
All 4 plants have wonderful young female characteristics.
This is the setup for making Ag solution.. 500ml beaker, distilled water, two. 1oz 99.9% silver ingots. 20VDC & a magnetic stirrer ($30). Did a 24 hour voltage application. Ended up with a 10'ish PPM Ag solution.(?)
Sprayed just one Cola on one plant with Ag solution. She/he(?) is clearly starting to develop male characteristics and pollen sacs.
So grow room controls have been added to over the years. Can't be more pleased with the core Hydro-X controller. The AC unit is a "Thru the Wall" type. No/min CO2 leakage/loss.

Impressions about plant

Day 70 since seeds planted. Week four of 12/12 light flowering stage.

Conditions: 1.5mS/cm. Ph 5.5, CO2 = 1000ppm, Light 12/12 @ 1000 - 1100 PPFD, Day 75F. Night 70F (min.) RH Day 50% Night 40%. Now running dehumidifier to drive down RH to the required level.

A bit surprised, making and spraying a single “Cola” with Ag solution is clearly suppressing female flower bud growth and now male pollen sacs are starting to form. Will cull the male cola before pollen release.

Will say that the aggressive trimming required for “Manifolding” the growth has extended the total growth cycle by at least two weeks. But the result has been the developed of and extensive root system that will support and feed the very clearly defined strong Cola’s that should produce outstand sized and potent buds. Looking to produce super quality, don’t need quantity that could cause legal issues.
