DeanB's Winter Grow In Progress

[zgrower]

My man make sure you ain't over watering or under watering and if u want use my watering schedule it's basically water 1time with nutrients and then 1 time with pure water to make sure they don't get too much nutrients
But nice grow too bad there are a few males up in that I'd take feminized next timezgrower - 420 Magazine(17876068) on Vimeo sometimes I take my girls out if it's sunny you know nothing better than the sun

I agree let them dry out a little longer between watering.

Sorry about the male i just found one too...

I was thinking it would be the one to be the best come harvest it smelled so good!
Oh well

 

[DeanB]

It was a nice day yesterday, so I took the plants outside for some sunshine.

Then today its been drizzling, all day! 54 degrees, i should probably bring them back in, hahaha.

And i haven't chopped the boy, can't decide what to do with him so I put him in the doghouse!

 

[DeanB]

Update, I decided to keep the male going to collect some pollen. He's got his own space and lights, now what? This is what he looks like as of now.

The two ladies.

I was reading about how to collect the pollen and I was wanting to know when i need to place the bag over the branch to prevent pollen from getting out. The cabinet he's in has 2-2700k cfls and no fan. When do i trim down to one branch?

Looking for help, thanx.

He's around 2 to 2 1/2 weeks into 12/12

The best way to catch that pollen is to bag it as soon as the pods fill and before too, you probably missed one lol. I'd have a big paper saucer underneath and a paper bag too, and definitely no ladies within a mile.

 

[DeanB]

Do i prune him down now or ???
I was also wanting to pollinate one of the ladies with his pollen.

He's under the desk

And the ladies are behind the louvered closet doors.

 

[Kriaze]

just keep him well covered and don't cut him until he's releasing pollen, you'll see it if you keep it contained it's unmissable. Then slap him hard and take the lot

A little pollen goes a long way. I had a super small male. I mostly used a cup to catch the pollen.
Got a lifetimes worth of seed. My first pollen 'collect and chuck!'

I cut the side of the cup down to the bottom and wrapped the stem in the cup, see if the pictures help

Never sure how good the pictures depict

See tiny plant......

I also tried a sheet of paper for a while, I have seen others use paper plates.

I do not remember half of what I read to collect it now, but i will keep thinking.

Edit:
Somethings I remember I collected in stages and labeled old pill, asprin, advil, and such container with dates and refrigerated it after removing any and and all plant material, I also included little dry desiccant packs in the bottles. Some of the pollen was still good after six months in the refrigerator, made more seeds with a back cross. I wll get another test of it this spring, see what happens...

 

[Kriaze]

Great pictures KelticBlue, the only reason I saw for using a paper plate rather than paper was that it was a bit more solid when moving it away from the plant, that pollen flies easily and it helped. I've never seen the cup, great idea

 

[Pennywise]

I just took 4 cuttings from a male tonite, im hoping they continue to mature. I didnt want him anywhere near my females. Ill pollinate 1 branch on the female i picked out.

Keep em frosty ya'll

 

[DeanB]

That is awesome! THANKS! kelticBlue. That's what i needed, pictures.

 

[DeanB]

Right on Pennywise! I hope it works out.

 

[Pennywise]

It should if i keep it hydrated


Keep em frosty ya'll

 

[kelticBlue]

Thanks HH, yes indeed thin flimsy paper tends to toss pollen in the air. I only had the one female at the time but I had seed everywhere on her. I now know to try very hard to just do the one branch....


Edit : yeah what pennywise has, that is the way, nice one.



I send good vibes toward you and your pollen DeanB

 

[Pennywise]

Lets see if it works, i put 2 in the fridge and 2 on a window sill. Hope 1 matures in another week or so.


Keep em frosty ya'll
