What's a Swempy?

[Melville Hobbes]

Have you tried the taped-up pliers trick to soften the stem?

That's what I was planning.

What is the taped up pliers trick.

Wrapping the tips of a pair of needle nose pliers with electrical tape.
It cushions them a little so you're less likely to pinch right through the stem when you use them to supercrop.

Well shit.

When I tried to snip some leaves to reveal the male flowers, they fell off.

Mostly out of the line of fire.

Godzilla Glue #4
Right under the pollen dump. We'll see if she has been pollinated over the next few days, but there's no sign yet.

Uggggh.

I switched them around after putting my backup inline fan in my smaller tent.
These two are a little tight in there, but I'm happy with the move.
There's still no sign of mass pollination. There are a few brown/orange stigmas in there, but they don't have that pollinated look to me. Only one of the buds directly under the pollen dump has a single brown stigma

Here I'm patiently waiting for a pollen dump and you get yours by a freak hermie...it's just not fair.

Well caught and I you end up with sensimilla as planned!

I hope you got lucky Mel!

 

[Melville Hobbes]

Welp, I have good news, and bad news.
The good news is, the flowering girls are smelling delicious, and I'm really looking forward to giving Mimosa a try.

The bad news is Godzilla Glue #4 definitely has seeds. Given the timing, they'll be mature by harvest.

There don't seem to be many though. I'll probably try one or two out in a winter grow, with a Glookies bagseed.

Thanks Shed!
I just wish mine had been deliberate, like yours!

I hope you got lucky Mel!

Thanks Stone!
I've only seen 4 or 5 so far, so I'd say I'm pretty lucky given how much pollen there was!

And the good news is there aren't that many browning pistils!
