aspirin water foliar sprayed to make fem pollen?

i have red some growers use 1 pill of aspirin per litre of water as a foliar spray to make females produce pollen. similar to using ionized silver sts or ga does anyone have first hand experience with this process and if so could you explain your methods? some say it does not work others say it does. if it is true it would be a cheap non-toxic way to make fem s-1's or fem crosses. any experienced input welcome.

You can buy the cheap collodial silver online, eBay, in garden kits.

I have heard of aspirin as a rooting compound. It is willow. Willow water helps root. Like the gels and powders do. That is organic. I have never heard of the use of hermying. Maybe it would keep the plant in a vegging state?

yeah ive heard its used and works as a rooting compound i have just heard it can be used in pollen production to. i beginning to doubt this though but i still like to know my options if need be. anyone else have experience with this?

I've never heard of using aspirin, but I know of another method that contains no chemicals or any solutions, which it to off set the light pattern. so the last day of veg I usually turn the lights off for for anywhere up to 24-36 hrs. to reset the plants internal clock so it knows it's time to flower, when it receives the 1st day of 12/12 after the lights go off they'll stay off for 5.5 hrs. and then they go on for 1 hr. after that 1 hr period is up the lights go off again for another 5.5 hrs. bringing you back to when the lights stay on for it's 12 hr. light period, & if done for the 1st 2-3 weeks of flowering it'll produce male flowers on your female to pollinate and create your F1's

If kept healthy the seeds have given me a 95% germ and fem rate

The genetics I'm working with though are very impervious to many elements, so I've even had some F2's & F3's back crossed with some F1s to get even more stable genetics the 2nd a 3rd generations were just as stable as the F1's (surprisingly)

could you try sticking a blacked out bag on a bud shoot for odd hours of the grow. On and off here and there two hermie just that bud? I desperately want seeds from this plant I have only one seed of that is almost impossible to get seeds of. She is female.

dirt clean i forgot about that method worth a shot. my issue is i have a clone only tahoe og and hells angel og that were under 18 or 24 hour lights for veg i put them out at about 14 hours light but there flowering i figure if since im not gonna get a big yield i should make some good seeds. does anyone know the proper dosage and use for gibberelic acid?

do you got it? they got nice kits on eBay. medical like. rofl.

yes i know i have used ionized silver before. i make my own im expanding my knowledge base and options for pollen production. wtf?

upon further research i have found a few other growers who claim that this method of using salicyclic acid(aspirin) can make females produce pollen im going to try and see if its true if it fails i will use another method. im going to add 640mg of aspirin to one gallon and water with it 3 times consecutively and wait a week or two for any results. i will post my results.

I heard of this...the ratio I heard was 2 asprins to a gallon of water.....hermies your plant....

yeah its worth trying anyways. im on a strict budget right now and this method would be free as i have aspirin laying around. it is also not toxic sts and ga are somewhat toxic only aspirin and colloidal silver are entirely safe to work with. i applied it to 2 different og kush phenos already in flower both a soil drench and a foliar spray my fingers are crossed. if it works im going to cross tahoe og kush to hells angel og kush. for some top notch fem seeds.

nothing wrong with experimenting bro....at least yuo'll have first hand knowledge and not just hearsay good luck bro.... keep me posted down the line...peace

thanks. with cannabis only us growers can figure things out since there are so few scientific studies on cannabis breeding. i will let you know what happens with this aspirin forced pollen production test.

so....did the 2 asprin to a gallon of water work?

Do you guys foliar feed or water with that mix? What is the PH?

I once saw some extremely stressed plants that went herm for no other reason than stress. It could be this is an evolutionary response to high stress environments - maybe that's what these chemicals do.
