Aspirin: How long for effects?

Should be fine adding an extra aspirin per quart on the next dose. How many did you use this last time?

3-325 mg, in a 3 gallon pot in a quart of water dissolved.

As a side note, I started harvesting pollen off my two outdoor males last night. Soon will be able to kill and up my harem again. :jointsmile:

I had no idea you could cause a plant to hermie with asperin, how is it done, I am thinking of donig that to my White widow since I only have one and the seeds are too expensive, thanks for the post

I have given 3 doses of aspirin almost a gram per dose. As of yesterday, still no sign of nanners. Also stressing with light changes, flower room for a day or two then the veg room for a day.

This friggin plant is so stable. The only problem is if you smoke it every day you build a tolerance, every other day and it is one hit weed and I am using over an ounce a week as a normal medication load, of good stuff, widow, haze, star, etc. (I constantly change what I smoke for either different daily needs or specific pain issues.) I have to get this stuff out to others somehow...legally.

Still have to get the pollen first. If this doesn't work, will have to try that giberillic (sp) acid stuff.

It's nice to have a stable strain, but I have had this problem in the past, too. Some strains do require a higher concentration of aspirin, but my PokerFace is my most difficult. I think I was up to 6 aspirin per quart before I gave-up, lol. (I use light poisoning for that strain now)

I'd think with the combination of techniques, there would be some changes. :wtf:

so where do you look for that giberillic acid? Common names?

Bummer you have to resort to the hormones. I have had many successes with both aspirin and light poisoning. Difficult to believe that the combination had no effect. :(

Mega Gro growth stimulator is one I used many years ago. Inconsistent results, but I was a little wary of even using it, and went with lower doses which resulted in slower results. When I tried upping the ratios, I burned the branches. (use care)
There's a Dutch product or two available also, but I've never used 'em.

Well I am still letting nature take it's course. I am going to have to transplant so the roots don't deteriorate, and I guess I will try even more aspirin. It is just sitting there, not growing, not dying, only a few new pistils.

Whoa, WTF is the gibberillic acid? I asked at the horticluture store and they like freaked telling me it was killer stuff.

Is the purpose to lower the PH or some other function? I can acidify the soil with apple cider vinegar or some other non toxic stuff. I don't think I want to try that gibberillic stuff. I don't want it near ME, fuck the plant.

Crap, I just wish this were 100% legal and could pass it around and share it with the whole world.

Oh, ya repotted, glad I did, the roots were staying too wet and not looking good, pretty root bound too.

Kinda jumping the gun calling it killer. Granted, there are many gardeners that profess it as a poison, yet have no clue what it is or what it does. The Dutch have been using GA on cannabis for over twenty years, and agriculture has used it longer. It changes the structure of the plant cells, so you risk altering the genetics with every use. Not sure how many generations it takes for the changes to hold, but negative effects are possible in the offspring. It's not a panacea, but to some, it's an alternative.

Gibbrellins are a naturally-occuring plant hormone and have a number of effects on plant development. They can:

1) stimulate rapid stem and root growth.
2) induce mitotic division in the leaves of some plants.
3) increase seed germination rate.
4) induce male flowers on a female plant.

Gibberellic acid is sometimes used in laboratory and greenhouse settings to trigger germination in seeds that would otherwise remain dormant. It is also widely used in the grape-growing industry as a hormone to induce the production of larger bundles and bigger grapes, especially Thompson seedless grapes, and in the Okanagan and Creston Valley it is used in the cherry industry as a growth regulator.
(most of above from Wiki)
Used in fruit and vegetable farming, it has been determined the product is 'safe'. However, no testing on how the combusted (smoked) hormones affect med patients.

Aspirin is a chemical stressor. I'm guessing it's a temporary ph swing, but am not 100% positive. Inconsistent, but usually reliable. Have you checked the buds for nanners? They don't always appear at the nodes. Also, I'm not sure what oversaturation does to this process, but dilution of the aspirin below a certain level is likely not helping. I'd check the buds closely for the lime-green (yellowish green?) nannersacks.

There's also silver thiosulfate, and colloidal silver, which is a heavy metal stressor. Smoking the stuff is likely a real bad idea. Never tried it though. It's supposed to revert the plant to it's original sex after hermying, and some think it stresses a healthy plant into hermaphrodism. (apparently it does whatever you want it to do, lol) Overuse as a tincture creates a skin condition that temporarily turns skin blueish grey though.

Light poisoning keeps the plant dumping vegetative and flowering hormones, stressing her into a panic for self-pollination before the end of the season. (the normal end of her life) If aspirin doesn't take hold, this is my alternative.

I've used the GA, but was unsuccessful. Got tired of killing branches and slowing growth while trying to dial it in, and went back to using the aspirin therapy.
