Makin' Some Beans (Blueberry Fem)

You do - I'm forcing it to flower by light deprivation (putting it inside manually at night)

The silver spray is just supposed to produce male flowers on a female plant

Right on, I missed that bit of info. Definitely subbed to see how this turns out,
Cheers!

Good mornin RIU!

I'm not sure but I think I may be seeing.... something. Does the new growth on the left of this pic look like potential balls, or I am just seeng what I want to see?

That's what it looks like to me. You'll know for sure in a few days. I've only done this once myself, but seems like I remember spraying for about a month before getting male flowers.

I've been going several-few weeks, so that would be great. My clones are really just starting to pack on pistils.



Should I avoid spraying that area with the CS spray? I mean I don't want to kill the male flowers.

I just kept spraying until I saw actual flower buds. It got pretty rough looking towards the end, but it worked.

I stopped spraying after seeing those initial flowers the other day, and now it's really starting to ball out:

Should I bring this into my garage or something until these drop pollen so that I don't lose it to the wind?

Balls aplenty:


Should have my precious pollen any day now. Will maybe pollinate part of the outdoor clone too, just to cover my bases.

It's a shame I sprayed the whole plant early on and the herbs no good. The parts that haven't turned male look pretty dank:

My pollen sacs were all dying off before they opened.

As a last-ditch effort, I took a bunch of small, unopened but still alive male flowers off with tweezers and let them sit out overnight to dry a little. Then I put them in a shot glass, crushed them up and applied with a paintbrush to a few tops. Hope it makes a few at least!

Still coming along, nothing too exciting (that's good!)

Here's how the girls are looking now, won't know until after the chop if any seeds took, I guess:

Update pics:

Nicely done hopefully your effort pays off. How many days are they at? And in most cases you can tell there are seeds because the calyxes will start to split.

Day 59

Not holding out much hope for beans, but if I get some, I'll take 'em!

I made a 'bud porn' video before I chopped the clones:

And here's a mid-harvest clip:

The tops are in the turkey bag:


Here are the lower branches:


Not bad for a 3x3 with a 400w!
