how to tell if plant was pollinated

haha, the ultimate spam, some underage male prostitute soliciting for 15$ !!!! haha

yeah spiked, you are def correct, the experience is a problem, i have never actually WANTed seeds, lol, until now, when i ordered 150$worth of lowryder2 seeds and want to keep this grow going for generations.

but thanks spiked, i appreciate that. and also, how do i avoid the seeds dropping? i have worried about this because its growing outside and the wind picks up pretty strongly, maybe i will get a couple stray plants growing around here, haha.

I have a male plant in the same pot as a female clone both of them are flowering and have been for over 10 days and my female clone does not appear to be pollenated yet!
yesterday tho i noticed pollen would fall from the balls when shaken so i cut some off and put them with the white flowers and shook some branches right on to my female clone so how long until she is nicely pollenated so i can get rid of this male?

!500 posts and you ask this question? Have you never visited FAQ's.
As I said earlier, the pistols will turn brown and retract towards the calyx.
One quick shake will be plenty to give you several hundred seeds,
then ditch the male, that way you will still get shit loads of seeds and some bud to smoke.
If you only pollenate one branch, put a bag over the male and shake,
then put the bag over only one branch of the female and shake.
All done.
But check this link from FDD I posted earlier.

My apologies MediMaryuser, I was thinking of a different thread, so my bad.
I normaly keep the male and female seperated until they have enough flowers on the female and the male starts dropping pollen.
Then I just put them together and shake the male.
I only do this once for a few seconds and will get hundreds of seeds.
But if you have had them together for several weeks you should see some swelling from germination soon.

You got good advice don't be an ingrateful ass about it. you said it back in your reply... you can tell seeds are forming when they start forming.. if they don't it didn't get pollinated.

BUSINESSSSS *ok so first ignoring this mayhem, on topic, in short i will write my findings. the next paragraph will be explaining those finds..*

simply, the calyx's that swelled large and fast, are possibly the 'unpollinated' ovary. and the calyx's that do not swell AS fast, or slower than the others, this may be because energy is being focused on making seeds, and swelling comes later, and in larger measures. i do not know how to test this other than visually. and even this is just an idea...(hypothesus)

i actually clipped off a small bud from the bottom... and i opened up calyxes that looked 'unpollinated' but actually, i found TINY seeds growing, they were about the size of a pinhead. to be sure this wasnt the ovary, i opened up some buds from my other plants that were not pollinated. and found that there is no small pin size seed looking thing inside of it. so i guess i was pollinated. BUT the wierd part is that the calyx's that i pulled off the unpollinated plants were larger, meaning more swelled up, including the hairs orange/dark. so i figured that seed production slows down the calyx swelling until the seed is the thing that is actually pushing it open. but the differences between actually pollinated and not seems like a really shady line for me, like i still dont know what im looking for to determine 'pre-visual' seed growth identification.


DRAMA
and now onto this whole thing, i really didnt mean anything wrong by saying that, i just dont like being talked down too by peers.(meaning other people)... i certainly didnt mean to get everyone involved, just to kinda nip ignorance in the but.

its very simple to see that someone who is willing to post 'when you see seeds' in my forum is either joking around(my guess, since i didnt get mad, i just corrected the issue), or actually angry that a seemingly simple question exists here.

and to understand why he would get angry, think with me...

someone browsing on the plant problem forums sees 'how to tell if seed is being made' (or w/e) and jumps in there and says 'what a seemingly idiotic question, hes some degenerate n00b' but in all reality, that someone who is dismissing this topic as THAT EASY would be the idiot if they actually reply with a simple answer like that, to me that is... unless they were teasing me, which is fine, i dont mind that.

but for cowell to get involved and jump into something that has nothing to do with him, except his idealistic version of how forums should work, he comes and starts throwing accusations/words/ideas around, no i dont like that, but cant control it, i only ask dont do it in my forums please..

im just not that simple, i study biology in college, bioengineering actually. so to me, if noone knows the answer, i will bring some of this shit into the lab, and find the answer myself if it really bothers me(i just might this semester, but dont think the plant will be viable to test after 1 month of sitting since i am on summer break)

Hey, I am in the same position as you. I THINK my plants are pollinated as I am seeing some pin size seeds within the sacks, but honestly, I am at Week 7 and I don't see these immature pin size ones getting any bigger (yet?). I have only found 1 seed which was actually truly large enough to be considered a seed + it had "layers", kinda like an onion? ,anyway it was much different then the pin like balls.

So, I imagine you have concluded by now if those pin like balls were actually seeds.. Were they?
