giving your plant the pill

[lite_me_up]

I thought that this was interesting, my best friend is giving her plants the pill (contraception)

to help her plants turn into females. I thought it was very interesting.

anyone else tried this?

What was the outcome?

 

probably could save a whole lot of hassle.

Sounds like a job for myth busters!

I have not tried it but would be very sceptical

Hmmm interesting though...

Buy a scope/mag glass and check for preflowers around 5-6 weeks old would be an idea

[loylty gets u nothing]

this is something that people have been talkin bout for as long as i can remember...ed rosenthal ,mel frank and greg green have all written about this..

but noine have come to a conclusion on it..

for me its like this...i wouldnt do it because there is a chance ill be smokin it and im not into findin out wat side effects this has..

i wish u and ya mate all the luck in the world

im interested if only for wat it will do to the lil seedling

all the best

bpa

If you give your plants contraceptive pills I guarantee that 2 things will happen ...

 

1) Your plant will not be able to get impregnated by human sperm.

 

and ..

 

2) It won't make buckleys difference as to whether or not the plant will turn out male or female.

i heard condoms can be used to prevent the male pollinating the females (wish i'd thought of this earlier)

aaaaaahahahahaha thats funny

 

sounds like a load of BS to me

[sausage7]

anyway plants and animals don't have the same gender-affecting hormones, so yes, i'd say this was bs

 

still, someone should try it out

[Dave The Nefarious]

Ok lets just break down this rocket science a bit ...

 

Contraceptive pills - used to inhibit fertility.

 

Now tell me, you high school professors you, how inhibiting fertility has anything to do with forcing the sex of a plant?

 

That's no more logical than feeding your plant viagra just because it's "sex related".

 

High school myths

People have been trying it for years. If it worked we would all know about it by now. I think it's funny how people think they are the first to think of it.

Males who eat the female pill will develop female attrributes. It contains hormones only made for females.
