Default Re: Flowering neps?

Ali,
Why rush things?? From my personal experience, induced flowering due to strees or using hormones/chemicals will only produce weak flowers especially on female. The seed pods produced this way will usually be smaller in size and might dry out even before it's ripe.

I don't have any exprience with pollen obtained using induced method, perhaps somebody have tried it before and can comment about the viability of those pollen? Thanks.

Anyway, flowering takes a lot of energy out of neps and it'll need time to recuparate properly from the stress.
