That is correct I am stirring up an old thread. Archives is what makes things great.
Ok, so my questions are...
Do you wear personal protective gear when applying this indoors in an enclosed area as the bottle suggests?
If not have you had any physical reactions?
Do you still use Florel (Ethephon)?
Lastly, this is more of a statement. I have Optic Foliar Switch. I used it once a few years ago and it burned the crap out of my plants. Please nobody tell me not to spray with lights on, this is a dumb statement for several reasons. There is no magnifying effect. That is a myth. The truth is that some things have Phototoxicity, therefore they cause burn when lights are on. That is why I am trying to understand why SWITCH did that to my plants, is it Phototoxic? Or, do you dilute it? It states not to dilute, but do you and do you get good results? Does water cause a reaction with SWITCH? I mixed 50 ml of SWITCH with 10 ML of water and saw no reaction.

Here's pretty much all the data you need: https://www3.epa.gov/pesticides/chem_search/reg_actions/reregistration/fs_PC-099801_1-Apr-95.pdf

[/QUOTE] At higher concentrations it can cause female flowers on male plants, awesome for male breeding selection.[/QUOTE]

At higher concentrations? like Double or maybe Triple the amount you suggested?

Has anybody had success with optic switch? I just found one of my ladies had some bananas that spread to her and her neighbors. I was plucking out the seeds that I could find but I was wondering id this would halt the production of seeds. I’m on day 30 of flower and don’t want to trash this crop

Get online off ebay or amazon seems 40 percent cheaper than the grow stores.
Hello trying to revive this old thread again but as you guys seems to have done it many times, you can confirm bud are smokable after being sprayed with ethephon ? I found few male flower lately and i might have to use it not to loose my crop not a large one but im like 1 month into flower, also can it still be used on my plant as they're in weeks 3/4 of flowering ?

@Renfro Funny how I was just reading a post of yours yesterday about how you used to run sealed rooms without venting the ethylene and your plants seemed to finish earlier and then this thread pops up today. Seems like it might of not been a coincidence.
