The last page especially talks specifically about Liquid Light and Rock Steady put some great info on it in there as well.

I've only used it once so far but will trying it again today. Could be my imagination but it DOES seem to be making a difference already

[Rock.Steady]

I will chime in on Dutchmaster, Reverese, Liquid Light and the Weedhound, a splendid one to behold, nice rep level hound

first, i will state i'm a dirty boy, soil only in my world

WH intro'd me to Reverse, by DM(thanks again WH, ur the best!):thumbsup:

during my 2nd grow, i made a modification to my setup that resulted in a lite leak which Hermied a cloned Female.
I ran out and got the Reverse, immediately.
the directions say use it 2 times in 10 days,
use once, wait 10 days, spray again, at any stage of growth, when you observe male traits (balls) appear. It states that it will STOP the male development. IT DOES.:thumbsup:
also, according to WH, it can be used at the beginning of the flower cycle, as a preventive measure. this would be assuming u have seeds of questionable origin(bagseed) or hermied origin.

I am currently working with some mystery red bagseed and sprayed when i moved to flower, so far so good.

Also, the Blue Russians I have running I treated with Reverse, as a simple preventive, just in case.
Results? Out of 3 beans sprouted, 1 showed Male early, goodbye. the 2nd was a Female and is thriving, the 3rd took weeks but finally showed weak male only genetics.
In my opinion, this is active proof that this product definately inhibits male genetics in plants. This is the only logical explanation for the 3rd plant taking so incredibly long to show any signs of sex at all, and when it finally did show sex, it was male, goodbye to him too.

now, about the Liquid Light.
My local retailer tried to push the LL when i picked up the Reverse during my Thai-hermie panic, but it wasnt in my budget. Opie's thread mentioned by WH, started me thinkin again about the product. I wont hyjack your thread with a lengthy write up on it, but i strongly believe this stuff works, read Opie's thread, its a worthy time investment,,,,well,,,,,if you want bigger, happier girls:thumbsup:

So, i'm impressed and fairly sold on the DM product line, from personal experience. I have no affiliation with DM, I paid money for it, just a happy customer.

as for the Weedhound,,,, This is a great person, and I like to say the first and best friend I have from this particular site. I value her info, honesty, friendship and great network of growheads she has.

i'm also not affiliated with WH, she's married, but she's so cool, I had to give her props:thumbsup:

33 days out and not a banana in sight. Is it too early to shout, Viva la Reverse!? I hope not.

[Rock.Steady]

hey Huntley, im 4 weeks in with Galina, and the last male that showed, was week 2 or 3,,,,,,your mileage may vary

whats the strain?

[HuntleyD827]

Rock, my problems are almost specifically with a White Widow, which seeds came from Nirvana. The Reverse has definitely made a difference, but I'm sad to say upon close inspection this morning, nanners are starting to pop up again. They are still green and quite small, but they seem to be back. Now at 34 days out, I'm wondering how bad it's going to be in 22 days. Previously the nanners would have been all over, and easy to spot from a few feet away, but not this time. None of these have even turned yellow yet. At least now I know it's not a light leakage problem. Your thoughts?

[HuntleyD827]

Another characteristic of this WW is, at the end of every branch, at the tip of the last bud, is a tiny little tulip looking thing that is half light purple at the top, and half white at the bottom. Does this at all soundfamiliar to anyone? I'm getting so frustrated with this WW I'm on the verge of trashing every plant and starting over. None of the others give me this me trouble! I don't think anything is going to stop the hermies with this one.

[Weedhound]

My only thought is that oddly enough I saw some of what appears to be male flowers starting and I've been watching too. I picked a few off and studied them under a loupe but honestly could not be sure whats they were. I'm seeing it on one plant that.....interestingly I grew before, used Reverse on and there was not a single seed in the entire plant so I'm positive the Reverse works.

All I can say is...one...are you positive they are male flowers? Mine DO look suspiciously like.....but with magnification I honestly can't tell a thing so will continue to watch. I'm also going to spray an extra dose of Reverse myself tomorrow on said plant for some extra good juju and you may want to try this yourself. Are you using the penetrator? You should use that with it for sure. To be honest however I never did anymore than used it according to directions (two applications) and it worked just fine. In fact I SAW a male flower on one of my plants in my last grow and I totally blew it off....could't possibly be a nanner because I use Reverse so I completely ignored it.

I have a friend who's plants always hermie......he's finally tried the Reverse and says he's still having problems so whatever is going on there I can't say but I will say that up until my last grow.....when I discovered a light leak.....I never had a single plant hermie on me when I used Reverse EVER. And while I am looking at my OWN suspicious looking plants I'm going to withhold judgement until I see what develops. The stuff has always worked great for me and I have some serious faith in it.

[HuntleyD827]

Well, they sure look like male flowers, but I do have to use a magnifying glass to see them. No clusters of yellow flowers at this point.

I have three seedlings I grew from WW seeds from KindSeed. It will be interesting to see what happens with them. The fact there are so few nanners, and this late into flowering, I am a little encouraged. Also, only the WW seems to be affected this time, so more proof the Reverse does have some benefit. I still wish I knew what those little tulip looking things were.

[Rock.Steady]

Huntley, have you made it to the 2nd dosage, 10 days later yet?
i think/guess, that if its hermied and u give the Reverse a chance, according to directions, it 'may' bail u out.

its just a hunch, based on manufactures directions and my own logical deductions.
WH is really the expert on this product, but i would give it a chance to do its magic.

i will say that when i used it, the balls stopped and the ones that remained, easily were removed, without re-occurance.

ive got possibly the worlds healthiest male indica right now (5th leafset is 9-bladed and already growing nads in 20h veg)

can i use reverse to make it a girl?

please?
