My 1st ag attempt was a complete failure.cheep unknown seeds from amazon.planted way late.but in my playing around i did make it start blooming triple males.the vine broke a bit by animal.but decided i would let some calcium mix drip on broke spot.i had crushed& boiled eggshells for several hrs for several nites& it made a nasty broth think the membrane on inside shell wall was was floating round& softened.put lil powdered milk in it also.is that what might have caused triple flowers?

Your issue is you think the plant can absorb the calcium from the eggshells. They first must be decomposed or broken down by the micro organisms in the soil or converted into a salt.

Even if it was a liqiud.eggshells stayed at the bottom.but the rest was a creamy brown liqiud.it did something deffinatly tho.cause after i used it.nodes that had already produced a male flower.started growing a second batch of males.or can a node section on a vine produce male flowers more than once

Males reproduce just like leaves if destroyed or damaged. If you look at some of the hail damaged plants that have nothing left but a vine. 3 weeks later you have a new plant. It is an amazing transformation..The plant only has one goal that is programmed in to it. Produce Fruit and make mature seeds.
