I took clones from a mother plant that I really liked. I allowed them to veg for 5 weeks. During the last 10 days, I treated 1 clone with colloidal silver. I then flipped to 12/12 on 8/1 and treated said clone w CS for 7 more days. Both clones were already showing preflowers, but really began flowering roughly 8/7.
Once they began flowering, the plant treated with CS was removed and placed in a grow cab on its own. This cab, being intended for this purpose, is powered by almost 100 watts of cfls. The temps of this cab r in the high 70s. There is very little air movement, besides the small pc fan for the exhaust and a passive intake. The pc fan is only being ran at 9 volts so that it is not running at full power. Male flowers were showing all over the plant, and really kicked into high gear within 3 days.
The plant is now covered in full blown "bannana" clusters (8/19), with male flowes that have been "bursting" and opening for the past 3 days. Underneath, I have placed paper plates to attempt to collect the pollen, but there isnt any pollen to collect? I have taken note as to how they look prior to bursting, and plucked 4-5 of them off. I carefully peeled them back to try and remove sone of the pollen, but again, there is no pollen to collect? WTF!!!!
What am I doing wrong? Are the flowers still not mature enough? Am I missing a step? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanx
