Hey Groovers.

12 days into flowering my biggest plant has turned out to be a boy.
I wasn't convinced till I saw the photo. Anyway I plan to collect a small amount of pollen so i can pollenate just a few buds a little late.

From the pic how long would you guess before the sacks pop open?
Plants were under 100W CFL for 12 days, but will continue under 2x 20 CFL 2700k.

I'll be taking cuttings and use the cup & Paper method for catchig the pollen in a completly different area.

Why are you going to take away light, when your plants actually need more during flowering? Why not simply add the additional lights...B

I'm not taking away the light. There are 4 plants in the cab. Found a boy, which I don't want to kill straight away, instead I want to move it <actually just cuttings> to another grow roow and collect some pollen.

The girls will remain under the big lights. Easy Peasy.
