While I am pretty new to these boards, I've read a lot on them. While there are some specifics on some of the different methods used to get your lady to produce some pollen, most of it is a little unclear for someone to simply try and succeed.
I invite anyone with experience in any of these methods to chime in with what they know to help me and others. It's been my experience that if you want to use clones you do, if you like seeds, you use them, there are good reasons for either of them right?
The seeds I used this year took off great and outgrew the clones for a couple months, then the clones caught up, all in all very happy girls. I think the root system that comes with the seed is a bit better, yes?

I will try to list the methods that I have a little knowledge about and Please correct any glareing errors.

Light Stress/Torture:

2-3 wks into flowering, switch from the normal 12hrs. light & 12hrs. dark lighting schedule, to 12hrs. light, followed by 5.5hrs. dark, then 1 hr light, and then 5.5hrs. dark. Keep your lady under this lighting schedule for 3 weeks and the return to the normal 12 on & 12 off routine.

Again any refinements to this method would be gladly accepted.

Aspirin Watering:


After at least 1 week into flowering, disolve three uncoated aspirins per one gallon of water and use this to water your plant for three consecutive waterings. Look for stamens with girl only pollen toward the end of flowering. Thanks to "rustytricome" for this info. Additions, comments, thanks.

Rodelization:


 Don't know much on this method except that you simply keep the plant on the 12 on, 12 off schedule with some flowers left on, when the plant begins to go into senesence (old) and no pollen has shown up, it is supposed to 'hermie' and produce pollen for itself. If you know of any details please pass them on.

Other Methods:

I have read references to other ways as well, like pH, fertilizer, pruning, and gliberillic acid stress methods, but I lack any specifics about them. Please fill in the blanks and thanks.
