I have NEVER USED IT!?
Australian made product... by r&d Aquaponics.

WHAT IT SAYS ON BOTTLE:
LA FEMME
Sex change plant hormone
Active constituent 5g/litre NAA
La Femme is a female sex change hormone which induces predominance of female flowers. It is most effective when used as a foliar spray at a dilution rate of 5mls per litre of water during the initial flower bud formation or the change of daylength or flower induction. Follow up spray one week after the first application. Spray until run off is acheived.



I DO NOT have males/Hermi YET......... but this is just a PREVENATIVE I HOPE!.
Also used PENATRATOR (dutch master) for max effect.
7 plants total from bagseed,
I will keep you updated..... all in different stages though.
3 outdoor are 5-6 ft been veg`in for months, shows fem hairs on all 3. - 1st APPLICATION
2 out door seeds just developed 3rd node- no visible sex - Light mist
2 indoor just created 6th-8th nodev- no visible sex- light mist


My questions are:
1. has anyone used it ?? And to what effect? Side effects?
2. What is in it ?? or whats :Active constituent 5g/litre NAA?

AND PLEASE ADD ANY INFO ON HORMONES............................ As this thread has turned into my HORMONE study and infomation gathering....

Dose this stuff compare with DUTCH MASTERS reverse ? Not that i have used that either but good thread here on the study of hermies and dutchmaster??

BASIS OF WHAT I HAVE LEARNT SO FAR - PLEASE CORRECT IF WRONG!!!!
The hormones are not magic. All these hormones are produced naturally by the plant.....the amounts produced by the plant are genetically determined.
Ever get a clone/plant that just refuses to grow like the other plants and stays a "dwarf" with misformed leaves, yet the other sister plants are thriving? Chances are the dwarf is not kicking out the hormones for one reason or another. adding hormones to your growing methods allows you to enhance the plant even beyond it's genetic capabilities. The stems are thicker and stronger, leaves are bigger and greener, roots are healthier and more lush and the flowers are bigger, heavier and more resinous. But.....and it's a BIG but....If you can't grow excellent plants without hormones, then adding hormones will make things worse.
Only common sense. You are stimulating the plants to "kick it up a notch" on the growing scale. The plant will need good growing support....nutrients, light, etc, etc. It's the same sort of thing if you are using CO2 supplementation. You need to have your growing program working good first.
I have been researching hormones lately, Here are some of the main ones :


GIBBERELLIC ACID (GA3)

Probably the best known of the plant hormones. It's produced by the plants tips and is responsible for the plant growth. The problem with GA3, is that most growth is in the form of "stretching" which isn't always diserable, so except for seeds and clones, GA3 has some other uses as well. You can intiate male fowers on a female plant but using high doses every day for several days, you can also induce flowers earlier and yield bigger flowers. TO BE CONT`

BRASSINOLIDE

One of the main hormones used. Foliar spray about every three weeks with a final spray just as change the lights for flowering. It will increase a plants resistance to stress (cold, drought, too high a salt content), it helps the plant locate light, it strengthens a plants resistance to disease. It will also stimulate a plant to grow it's overall root mass. The overall effect is that the plant will be much healthier, stronger and thus the yield will be better. Estimate that the effect is about a 50% better yield than the untreated plants.

6-BENZYLAMINOPURINE

Effects are thicker and stronger stems, healthier and larger leaves (more surface area to capture light) at 300 ppm. Plant will have more branches, foliar spray of 2000ppm. Normonal pruning and the advantage is that you don't need to pinch of the plants growing tip (thus decreasing the gibberrelins), the plant stays healthy and doesn't stop growing to repair the tip.

If you spray MJ with 300ppm at the end of the 4th week of flowring there is a dramatic increase in bud growth. Combined with the earlier spraying of Brassinlide , the end result is outstanding in terms of quality and yield.

MEPIQUAT CHLORIDE

This is actually a growth inhibitor. It is sold in Hydro stores in pre-made solutions under various brand names. The idea is that it will stop the plant growth when it's time to start flowering. Not only does this control the final height (useful if you have a low ceiling problem), but also the plant will start to allocate it's growth resources into bud growth sooner. . The growth is halted (actually, some growth still occurs). the effect you see is that bud size that were usually about 5 weeks old are now bud size at 3 weeks. This gives you larger early buds and as you know, you can only build from there. The hit the plants with the Benzylaminopurine and the bud growth takes off.

QUOTES AND INFO OFF DIFFERENT FORUM

Other known hormones





Other identified plant growth regulators include:

• Salicylic acid - in some plants activates genes that assist in the defense against pathogenic invaders.
• Jasmonates - are produced from fatty acids and seem to promote the production of defense proteins that are used to fend off invading organisms. They are believed to also have a role in seed germination, the storage of protein in seeds and seem to effect root growth.

Signalling peptides

• Systemin - a polypeptide consisting of 18 amino acids, functions as a long-distance signal to activate chemical defenses against herbivores.
• Polyamines - strongly basic molecules of low molecular weight that have been found in all. organisms studied thus far - essential for plant growth and development and affect the process of mitosis and meiosis.
• Nitric oxide (NO) - has been found to serve as signal in hormonal and defense responses.
• Strigolactones, implicated in inhibition of shoot branching.

Plant growth regulators can be used to alter flower and plant sexuality, in cucumbers ethephon is used to delay staminate flowering and transforms monoecious lines into all-pistillate or female lines. Gibberellins also increase maleness in cucumbers. Cytokinins have been used in grapes that have undeveloped pistils to produce functional female organs and seed formation.

Really...
That small of PPM solution??
Holy F....

Do you use this stuff with Penetrator, or wet betty..or some wetting agent?

New to hormones myself champ...... that is someone elses thread from different forum, as far as the discriptions of each one.
Im useing LA FEMME - aussie made product..... want to know whats in it, but ingredents seems to be as elusive as super thrive.....lol

Hormones and the study of...... I will do before introducing Carbon in the way of Co2......

remember your smoke bud. why would u wanna smoke plant matter thats sprayed?

i plan to grow weed outdoors i know its possible but i need to know how will i power the lights."

Still go through the rinse and nutralizing with 2 weeks to go.. And Hormones are applied usually in tiny amounts..... And just bolstering EXSISTING hormones.
