why did I fail? I sprayed just the bud sites on my chosen branches of 2 separate plants of separate strains and both failed to ever produce a single male part in 3 weeks of twice daily spraying!I also have mites and have been doing daily applications of an organic habanero based insecticide but only after an hour or longer between applications of CS. I used 50ppm CS and a little sour candy dispenser as an atomizer.

Sweet bullets.

Any chance there was residual sugar in the candy dispenser which may have attracted the mites or other insects to consume it?

Feminized mites may actually be a good thing for the community.

First, you sprayed with CS right? and then you sprayed with the habenero solution?

To me it would be that you just washed it right off.

i feminized a whole room once. i had a flood table collapse and all the clones got buried in the rocks.

i fixed the table and flowers the plants and some hermed out from stress and seeded the room.

fast forward to last spring, i planted a few hundred in a little side garden on my farm and every plant was a female. OG Sour Cross.

yeah I would do the CS and wait till it was about dry and then go again, upon closer inspection i actually did get balls but they were like 2 weeks late and i was already revegging by then.

I've tried that habenero spray a couple times and i think its a myth. mites say bring it bitch every time i use it. nukem or green cleaner worked for me.

The response is generally a 2 week+ delay. 2 weeks Prior to flowering one should begin the spray. Once a day is plenty. and by wekk 3 of flower thins are getting weird. Now what I have had issues with are getting viable pollen from the fems, only tried twice. But will try again with some other fems.

Good luck
