Well My pollen extraction worked. What I did was let the male grow to the point where a few of the pods opened and then I fed the male to my leopard tortoises. the largest male bud I kept. I took a hair spray lid and put a hole in the bottom. I put the bud inside the lid with a node sticking out the hole in the bottom and sat that into a glass of water. I put saran arap around it and put small holes in the wrap, to prevent pollenating me bedroom yet allowing the plant to breathe. I put it in a window for about 3 days and then took a makeup brush, I could see the white powder pollen and I scooped it up with the makeup brush and brushed it onto my buds.. And they already have huge seed pods.. Anyway threw the male bud away when I was finished.

Now I have all the seeds I need

Aloha
