Tiresias Mist Seed Feminizer, 4 oz
Saving seed from a favorite female plant normally needs a male, and males bring a mix of traits into the next generation. This feminizing spray offers a way to keep both parents female. Tiresias Mist is a solution of naturally occurring minerals. Misted onto one marked branch of a female plant, it pushes that branch to develop pollen sacs. The pollen that forms carries only female genetics. Brushed onto receptive flowers of the same plant or another female, it sets seed. According to the maker, those seeds will grow into female plants. That makes it a practical tool for preserving a standout phenotype or making a targeted cross. Growers can build their own seed library instead of waiting on outside sources. Tiresias Mist describes the formula as non-toxic and non-allergenic for users, plants and pets when used as directed. The treated stem becomes covered in pollen sacs and should not be consumed. This 4 oz bottle holds the spray for a breeding project.
Using a Feminized Seed Spray Step by Step
Pick a healthy female plant that has not started flowering and has at least two weeks of veg behind it. Begin treatment about five days before switching the plant to flower. Tie a ribbon or tag on the branch that will be treated. Shield the rest of the plant so the spray only reaches that branch. Lightly mist the whole branch, focusing on the stem rather than the leaves. Repeat the misting once a day for 21 days. Flip the plant into flower on schedule and keep growing it normally. Pollen sacs may appear later than the female flowers on the rest of the plant. Collect the pollen once the sacs open, using a clean brush or a small bag. Dust it onto the flowers chosen to carry seed. Keep treated plants away from any females that should stay seedless. Let the seeds mature fully on the plant, then dry and store them in a cool, dark place.
