Females would be ready just before pollen sacs would open) Resultant pollen produced about to 80% or so fem seeds. Did this for the Swazi, C-99xSweet Tooth, and Shiskaberry I had seeds for. No later hermie problems, that I noticed.

Anyone else try this?

p.s. I used to grow in soil, and don't know of usage in hydro...
I found your post!!
Gonna give it a go!!!

I'll do some posts and keep this updated.
My clones are 4 days into 12/12.
I'll do this with the light stress and see what happens.

If nothing else, I will have some stress resistant plants.

THANKS

Oh Yeah, reveg was downsized from 5 gal containers to 2 gal.
