I was not trying to get male pollen, I was just experimenting and let 1 plant go way to long. So was looking at it lot and I had a bunch of other plants in there that were in the first few weeks of flowering and I got no seeds.

I suppose that after you follow the recipe from a ppm calculator you could test it with a PPM meter for shits and giggles but not sure its nessesary. Nore am I sure of the accuracy so useing a calculator and measuring your mix would be the way to do things.
**edited to add**
Now when I said 100ppm or higher this is sort of just a guideline. I have gone as high as 500ppm and as low as 75ppm but I also had some strains not hermie with the lower dose and I also had some plants that were quite adversely effected with a strong dose. Hence the reason to experiment if your attempt totally bombs its only costed you a bit of time and wasted 1 clone so keep at it and dont let minor setbacks stop you.

A questin for you, How much stretching did you see after applying the GA?
Update:
So the main plant died, it just stretched and stretched and lost all of its green. I sprayed it with the GA spray about 20 times, and pored some in the soil. Clearly too much! The stretching was amazing, the plat looked so weird. The top branches got so long they snapped off and the bottom branches got long enough to seem like they were the top branches. The plant could not process nutes as fast as it was growing. I went and sprayed my sunflower outside just for shits and giggles.
I have another plant that I sprayed just 1 time to see what would happen, about 10 days ago. It has stretched a lot too and lost a little of the dark green. I think I will give this plant 1 more spray and put it in the 12/12 room.
Initially I was not even sure is the gibberlic acid I had was real. So I used more than I thought I needed to be sure I saw an effect. Clearly the stretching is noticeable with the concentration I was using.
I had no mixing chart, just a gram of powder, so I just put a sprinkle (about 50mg) in a few drops of alchol and that in 1 cup of water. So it was a bit random. It seems like you could judge the strength of the GA spray from the amout of stretching I see.
