pollination

Hey guys, quick question.. If I were to pollinate the lower bud sites, would the upper bud sites stop developing/slow down?
Thanks,
Giari

i don't know for sure, but it makes sense to me that they would as the plant puts (at least some) of its energy into making seeds.
hope i could help...

i cross polinated a coule lower branches not too long ago and didnt notice a difference in the upper cola's??? i would have to think the 2 strains would matter tho??

ok cool, thanks guys. I want to pollinate the lower buds before the pollen loses it's potency or w/e. The male buds popped open weeks ago, and the female is having trouble catching up..

it wont slow growth

Awesome, glad to hear it. Thanks everybody. I just pollinated the female (I think), and chopped the males to hang.

how did everything turn out

Thanks for askin, I think it went alright.. The buds are still growing really well on top, and I can't tell but I think seeds are starting to develope on the bottom budsites? I posted some pics, maybe you can tell better than I can The 1st is an overall pic of my lady, the 2nd is a close-up of one of the pollinated bud sites, 3rd is an unpollinated budsite in the middle, the 4th is a pic of the top, the 5th is my chopped males drying haha, and the last one is about a week before the 4th pic so u can see the growth.

Peace

how low have they been flowering?

a couple of weeks. She had to bounce back after some nute burn, but she's doin good now. I can definately see some seed developement on the lower bud sites now, so we have success!
