@GardeningGnome ,
Using GA3, you just spray the tops you want to produce “nuts”, the rest of the plant will continue to produce female flowers and will grow seed. That’s why I am able to use a single plant for this process.
If you look at this photo
You will see 3 paler green tops on the right, front and back corners, and 2 on the left, corners also. These were the treated limbs and were low down on the plant. I chose these limbs as previous experience told me that any top treated would stretch twice as much as those not treated. Choosing lower limbs meant that after the stretch, meant they should stretch enough to be taller than the untreated tops but not by much.

Within 2 wks, you should start to see pollen sacs form and they will continue to form on the sprayed tops throughout flowering. You will also have female flowers and seeds develop on those tops, but the sacs will only form on the tops sprayed.

Sounds logical, thanks.Couple of times I took a Q-tip and used pollen that was spilled on a leaf to pollinate a few bud, but for the most part, I left the air do the work.
Soo perfect! Have myself gotten three fans for my bloom-tent this week, and experimenting with the optimal solution. At the moment there is also a small air-system standing inside (with a weaker carbon filter) that is distributing/circling the air at floor level. Next week I'll get a refurbish my bigger carbon-filter and get a stronger fan/ventilation to it. It will not be piped out directly, instead forcing down the air, circulating it and giving the carbon-filter several changes to clean the "aroma.There are a number of reasons I use down draft
Very much sense, thank you sir!!Hope this makes sense lol
Lots of great info here!Couple of times I took a Q-tip and used pollen that was spilled on a leaf to pollinate a few bud, but for the most part, I left the air do the work. In that tent I use a DIY 400 w LED that is ducted to my 4” fan for cooling.
Unlike most, I use a down draft setup for ventilation even in the big tent where I have CMH lights.
There are a number of reasons I use down draft:
My basement stays about the mid 50s temperature year round so I pull cooler air in the top and exhaust out the bottom, helps cool my lights, both LED which require cooling and cools my CMH. It also keeps my big tent about 80 year round, just requires the fan at full speed in the warmer weather when the basement can rise 10 degrees some days.
If there are any mold spores (there always are, they are in the air all over the world except for the most arid climates) it keeps them low in the tent, much like a downdraft paint booth prevents overspray.
And in my seed tent, there are 4 vents in the light pointing to the corners. This creates a turbulence that moves the pollen around and down through the canopy and out the bottom, as the pollen sacs are generally on the tallest tops.
Those are my main reasons for a downdraft system.
Now that my seed tent is in the basement, I will have to put a HEPA filter on the exhaust vent so no pollen makes it’s way to the other tent even though it’s in a different room.
Hope this makes sense lol
Wish everyone had a pay-it-forward attitude!@Fredwak ,
I learned a lot from others when I came here 5 or 6 yrs ago, and made some good friends.
Since recently returning to the site, I felt I should pay-it-forward, especially as it’s in my nature (and current job description) to be a mentor.
Haaa! Luv it!!The micro herd were feasting like Romans.
Interesting, didn't think about that. Makes sense.The tall tops on the left, the ones treated with the 3 month old GA3 solution have caught up to those treated with fresh solution, so maybe it doesn’t degrade as much as I thought, just slower to react.
