Makes sense now. I'm not used to seeing people reverse the opposite way lol. I made the assumption from memory that florel was meant to reverse fruiting/flowering haha.

Most growers have no idea about Switch or Florel then expect them to stop genetic herms, they won't. They prevent/ kill stress induced premature rodelization. It is difficult to determine which is which genetic vs stress. If you're only 2 weeks in and pulling balls its worth a shot to try. Although 130 plants is a scale in not familiar with. I grow about 10 at a time in perpetual And can treat the individual plant. I've had Switch save 2 harvests from beans. Didn't know about the sterile pollen aspect, time to research.

Yep, actual hermaphroditic plants are dictated by genes. That's what i thought.
I have had quite a few plants pop male sacs on the lower branches during pre flower and stretch, and have never had a seed or managed to pull pollen out of them, so I'd say there is a good chance that some genetic hermaphrodites are sterile or close to it..
I've had more beans from rodelization for sure.
How many days does it take to dry up all pollen sacks

Yes, its working
Thank you for responding , so I need to stay on a weekly treatment.

What is it doing exactly? The monterey description of the product confuses me.
Are you attempting hybrid seed production? Stopping flowering?....
No im trying to stop from producing seeds ...
It started producing pollen sacks on week 2 of flower and I dont know if it was cause of bad weather or genétics or stress ...
Florel helps to stop being hermie and it will dry pollen sacks

where do i find this information?
where I live they didnt had switch so the hydrostore recomend it to me saying the florel has the main ingredient that switch has . And it does the same thing so I went bought it and get more research and people have use it and it works cuz Its drying the pollen sacks

Late to this post, but, did you intentionally rodelize?
If not, have you ever cultivated your rodelization-created beans, and if so what percentage (roughly) females did you get? I seem to hear mixed things, but I have some great smelling seed-filled girls I harvested and wonder if I can expect mostly females if I were to cultivate some, and if they would be more likely to hermie from stress/age as the parent did.

I think so. Don't stop after 1 treatment. Do 3 then watch and see of you need to keep at it. Bonus, florel will help them finish a little faster too.
Ok ill be doing my 3rd treatment today. Nice so they will finish early ....and does flowering starts fron 1st day of flip or from first signs of hairs and flower forming ?

It is done when it is done. Thats a difficult one to answer. I wouldn't out 100% faith in reported flowering time of strains indoors. More like a good guideline of is it fast or slow. Many factors will slow or speed up flowering to reach senescence. I start counting weeks after stretch and preflower. But its not ready till its ready.

How did it work out for you ? Did you end up with a seedless crop??
You have to adjust the PH of the Florel/water mixture to 4.5ph BTW if you didn't know or it will damage the leaves/flowers.
what's your mix ratio of florel? and do you spray with lights on or off?? Thanks in advance
