Hey I found that thing I read the other day about female plants growing male pollen sacks.
Still can't say yes or no it's 100% true but I know I've read it a couple of places.

Rodelization takes advantage of the fact that a female plant will try to pollinate herself as a last resort when she doesn’t get pollinated and is nearing the end of her life cycle. That is why sometimes older or stressed female plants grow a few male “balls” as a last-ditch attempt to self-pollinate. When successful, she will grow a few seeds.
These self-pollinated seeds will have gotten both sets of genes from the same female plant, so both parents will be female, and all resulting seeds with be female

Intesting stuff either way.
I've also heard you can use colloidal silver (reported possible tox issues plus can interfere with some meds) as well as silver thiosulfate solution (reported less toxic but light sensitive stability).
However Gibberellic acid GA3 is also really interesting.
I'd like to try using GA3 method!

I had a plant Rodelize once. It was way past the harvest window . I did not even know of the subject back then. Many strains will behave this way but it is such a waste of a good plant.

Not me I rinse it to RO after each use but always store in KCI solution you see it in the caps.... If you go back through we just talked about this a few days ago I am pretty sure the census is to never let your meter's probes dry out

Follow the manufactures instructions, they are not universal.

I hate him and love him, depending on where he's throwing the bombs

Well I know a pH meter needed a KCl solution. I wish my tds came with any directions lol.

I picked up a cheapo TDS (not pH) meter recently. Up till now I just dip it in RO/DI so there's no built up salts and let it dry is that normally what people do?

Never rinsed my old one and it's never seen any storage solution. But I guess that's just me

Still waiting on my solution, now due tomorrow
I won't use the pen until it gets here.

This tds meter didn't come with storage solution but the pH one did. I think it's just the pH meters that need it since they use a glass ball to measure and the tds is metal

We treated our pen like it was a relic from the cross. Have to take readings, and more importantly trust them.

I stand corrected agreed

Finally got myself a fancy pants new tds meter since I've been using the same $20 one for like 5 years now. Turns out the $20 one that's never been calibrated and gets used every day and tossed on a shelf dry is only off by 10ppm So I definitely recommend the com-80 if anybody is looking for a meter. Not really a big fan of the apera one having the exact same body and color as my pH pen either

Mine was free! I was at Walmart and it “accidentally” fell out of a zero water pitcher box and into my DrPepper 24pk!

It’s an el cheapo but I can’t exactly complain about the quality!
