How To Use Progressive Web App aka PWA On 420 Magazine Forum

There are numerous instructions for the application of STS. All of them are different.
These are four methods:
From @Smokin Moose:
The STS working solution is sprayed on select female plants until runoff.
From @Nismo12 Spray twice in one day once a week. So for us we spray on Sundays twice. Once at mid day and once after lights out. A total of 6 applications is what you need.
From @Pennywise:
Spray until the pollen shows, I've stopped too soon before and ended up with sterile pollen. Starting 3 days before flip is about right but I spray daily for the first week or even 10 days then I can go to every 2-3 days. Some strains are harder to reverse than others. (This information is combined from several of his posts.)
From @Mr. Krip:
Spray branch(es) you want reversed 5 days before flipping to flower
Spray every 5 days until major male flower formation has begun
I tried the second method on one branch of three plants. I had given up, and later when I went to chop the branches that were treated, I found about 5 pollen sacks on one of the plants, two of which had opened. I got over 150 S1 seeds from the reversed plant, and 60 F1 seeds from its neighbour. I'll be starting treatment again next week using Pennywise's method, simply because it puts the most STS on the plant. It's disheartening when you put the effort in to making seeds, without getting the desired results.
The only thing that will happen is stunted growth and yellowing but it's not an issue since the plant is only for pollen.
Definitely a lot of techniques, you have to experiment for yourself and see what works best. Genetics play a role in how easy they will switch over so it will be different from person to person. I would also say that most people using sts are breeders that probably have it figured out but keep their tech under wraps. You mostly see home growers using CS or I am able to find more info on that then sts but I'm pretty sure sts is what the pros use.
Either way it's cheap better to be safe then sorry. I'll probably spray till sacks mature/ start to open myself.
Ionized silver inhibits the sex hormone ethylene needed for female flower to develop. I’ve not heard about the copper before.
here's a copy and past from another forum.Ionized silver inhibits the sex hormone ethylene needed for female flower to develop. I’ve not heard about the copper before.
Just waiting to see something happen. some of them have kinda "sprouted" out of their seed looking "shell" things. just waiting to see some yellow powder on the leaves to be honest lol.
Hopefully if / when the time comes i can gather enough of it to get a few seeds. i'd really be happy with a few of each kind at this point, because if it works i'll be able to free up a tent to self one plant at a time, using STS next time, not because it's less work so much as it just sounds so much more reliable.
Definitely swelling. although they don't really look like the pics i've seen online for the most part. those pics tend to have the balls dangling at the end of a little "twig", where all of these balls are tight af
Great photos and yes ready anyday now.
