Heres a good way to pollenate, I copy and pasted it from someones journal.
To pollenate, I just covered over all the buds with a black trash bag then just left one bud from each plant stick out and then pollenated that with a paintbrush dabbed in the pollen. Then I misted down everywhere over the top of the trash bag to stop any loose pollen from flying around, then removed the bag and threw it away.
I pollenated on 27th March 08 and by about 3 days later the stigmas on the calyxes started to turn brown.
By the 4th April you could see definite seeds forming. So that's in about the space of a week. The male plant I had grown in a tiny pot and manually put him in 12's (taking in and out the cab) for 2 weeks prior to turning the females over to 12's. |
