I have 12 outdoor plants. It looks to me two of them have been pollinated. I have never grown pot before and I don’t have anyone locally to ask. This two plants look different than the other 10.
Is this a female plant that has been pollinated

I did have 4 males plants which I eliminated. I think I caught them in time but wasn’t sure since these two females look different then my other females. Also these two are much farther along. I live in central CA and the weather has been hot for 6 weeks now. Over 100 everyday. Trying to keep my plants from stressing out.

It is my experience that once pollinated the pistils will turn red and shrivel before the others. I just pollinated a few buds on some outdoor girls and it’s pretty easy to tell where it was done. Yours look fine. Are they autos?

Pollinated outdoor plants should be no surprise even if you eliminate all males in your grow. Neighbor who doesn't care. Volunteer weed. Pollen from China.

They are suppose to be white willow auto flowering.

And that’s probably the reason for the leaves changing to one blade. I don’t do a lot of auto’s, once a year outdoors, but some do that with my strains.

The pollen from China is just for a laugh, right?

Yep. Some auto phenos can present some odd looks.

Actually no. Not sure how viable it is but it's been in pollen and air quality traps in California for years. Along with ragweed and everything else. This in test sites hard on the coast. Not inland.

been reading about a lot of asian gangs buying or renting houses to grow in. wonder if they're bringing their local product with them to get started?

They have an unbelievably large network of grow houses. Huge ones in nice hoods.

There are some plants pollen that actually benefit higher humidity levels. Cannabis pollen though is not one of them. I doubt cannabis pollen would remain viable after a trip across the Pacific Ocean. It is very interesting though, pollen traps and all. I wonder how much(any Asian pollen)is actually from across the ocean. Or is it just pollen from Asian species of plants being cultivated in California? Definitely very interesting and worth further investigation.

These stations are about as isolated from sources East of their placement but of course they're not perfect.

They put me out of business 30 years ago up here lol. Every other house was growing and they had some pretty good indoor back in the day, way better than my brown brick for the most part. Yup it was a sad state of affairs

Well honestly, I don’t think that you really need to worry about Chinese pollen but yes the guy next door that’s trying for the ultimate male yuppers

These reports were actually medical in relation to allergies people suffer. Just thought it was pretty amazing to stay aloft that far. Lots of miles to be blowin' in the wind.Well honestly, I don’t think that you really need to worry about Chinese pollen but yes the guy next door that’s trying for the ultimate male yuppers
But messy neighbors are the usual culprits.

I was really happy to see the full blown male auto in my garden and used the pollen on a few buds. Although I am perplexed as the only autos I’ve grown have been femmes but had three bag seeds from last years 10 plant grow.
