Thanks! I thought a gallon was overkill too. Every 4 days then, looks like Katsu threw a screw ball at us leaving any secondary spraying out!This post are the basic mixing instructions I got from Chris:
Complete Guide To Using STS To Create Feminized Seeds
I did not write the following article but it was brought to my attention by another member (thanks Brother Bard!) and I wanted to preserve the information here for future reference and to share with everyone here. :Namaste: =========================================== Douglas.Curtis39...www.420magazine.com
But he had me cut every measurement in half because there is no need to end up with that much A and B solution, given how little you need of each. Particularly if you're just doing a single branch.
So for me it was
.25g Silver Nitrate
1.25 Silver Thiosulfate
each into their own
250ml distilled water, for the A and B.
Then it was
25ml of A into
25ml of B
mixed with
450ml distilled water
for a 500ml bottle of STS spray.
I sprayed every 4 days, starting 8 days before flip, so on flip day it got its third spray. Then every 4 days after that until you see pollen sacs start to form. Then you can stop.
Cover the soil to prevent the roots from getting wet. I used the cut paper plate method!
I think spraying at or close to lights out is best.
For anyones curiosity, I found one our own,"Smokin Moose's" post from a while ago, 2007. It's where Katsu poached all the information posted in his article dated 2019 where I got my initial info from. So Smokin Moose for the win and c'mon Katsu, you can do better than that!
