What happens to fully reversed female if allowed to live?

[thetreeman]

Most of the hairs on my TD have withered and died recently, Im wondering if the goofy looking male parts that showed up didnt actually have some pollen in them after all. Should know for sure in a week or so. I chopped the sprayed branch off and stuck it in a 0 wind area in a glass of water, over a piece of waxed paper. Also started spraying a 30 day old Sour Bubbly 3 days ago, its got preflowers, but full flowering hasnt kicked in yet, doing that as a whole plant for now. Been doing her twice a day.

According to my guru you want to switch to flowering nutes as soon as you see the male flowers forming. I failed to do this the last time and got no pollen, just underdeveloped stamens that withered away... Just my experience

Keep us updated! You might have the first selfed plant on the thread!!!!!

Ive got BALLZ!!!

Using GH maxi series dry nutes, bloom now. This is a Mephisto Sour Bubbly. Hope to use pollen to self and do some others I have in pots. I harvested a few plants, some up to a month ago, but saved the roots and bottom couple branches and some keep throwing out pistils, just a few here and there, while others have died. Must be differences in the auto genes that keep some going? Anyway I thought it was interesting. I hope to pollinate some of these 'mini' plants also to get some genetic diversity.

Do you think I should keep spraying, or is she far enough along that pollen is inevitable? I would like to quit sooner rather than later to see how fast she can go back to looking female.

I'd keep spraying that cluster, and let the other budsites grow pistils again if you want to self it with that pollen.

She gives all the males she takes to bed a big surprise!

Fantastic news!! My reversal teacher was adamant that I keep spraying until the flowers are open and look to be actively ready to release pollen. It gets tricky because you don't want any moisture hitting that pollen and killing it but you don't want to stop too soon... I just keep spraying until the first flowers start to open. A magnifying glass helps here.

I have seen this constant flowering from my plants too. I take advantage of it by doing a selective harvest slowly over time from the top down. Since the plant keeps throwing flowers the lower branches really fatten up when you remove the upper main buds. I usually start harvest with the main center bud and then let the sides mature, then keep slowly moving down over a couple weeks to a month. I am always surprised the most from the buds that fatten after the main central cola is removed! They get super big!

Edit: Is this a branch from the plant or the entire plant? Just curious. I love how the pods are purple! Beautiful

Just one of the two main colas. I topped it young and its about 2 feet tall and bushy. I was spraying the whole thing, but lately I backed off on the whole plant spraying and have been just doing the 2 top colas, down about 6 inches on each one. The lower ones have balls also but some of the very bottom ones are starting to get hairs again. Also I was spraying for a while 3 times a day but I have backed off to once a day since the balls really started to form well.

So balls have started to open but they appear to not be dropping pollen, the ovaries or whatever are thick strange looking. I had cut back on spraying from 3 times a day for a while, to just once, right at dusk. Also I have been only spraying the upper branches, but there are plenty of balls on the lower branches right now also. Is it normal for first few balls to be barren? Suggestions? I will try to get some pics soon.
