Also a picture of the Dinamed x Cherry Wine males I am putting into my veg ‘tent’. I am taking some time to rewire the power for my grow areas as I an using my temporary flower area again.
I’d say your “attempt” at growing is going rather well! Great color, healthy looking plants. Could probably use a bit more PAR but you got to work with what you’ve got. Keep doing what your doing man!!
Not the best of pictures but yes they are doing fine. I think the little one manage to catch up with the other one as I had it mixed in with my CBD hunt and it may have been in a dim area. Everything is going into flower soon as I doubt I will have room for larger plants.
Only four Dinamed plants in flower, will get a lot more in soon enough. I am going to try a little more distance from the lights this time to see what the buds turn out like.
Collected some pollen last night. Four plants with a handful of pods, One that could pollinate the whole city. So what do you do with these males to keep them for later pollination? They are on 24 hr light.
Managed to tidy up the flower overflow area and put the taller plants there. Going to have to reshuffle my wood I have stored there. Serious lack of space.
The males are in the veg tent, going to have to collect the pollen and figure out what to do with them. Since they have no qualms of producing pollen under 24 hr light cycle I have no idea how people keep males going without the risk of them accidentally pollinating other plants. Can you re-veg them like females and keep them growing normally until needed again to provide their manly duties? Mind you, they have always been in veg, so not like they can be re-veg’d. Or is the pollen they produce any good since they have always been in veg?
I don’t have a good answer for you as I’ve never ran into this issue myself… but if you send me some Pollen I’ll certainly test it for you to see if it’s viable lol
Thank you for the offer but it is just as easy for me to test it. After all, I have more than a few plants kicking around. On the questions, I may have to start a specific thread, I have been googling and google does not get that I do not want to remove the males otherwise my female plants may get pollinated.
The males have been in 24 hr light and they produced balls and a lot of pixie dust. Just wonders what happens now, do they continue balling it up or what? I have read people with their favorite male going on for years. Do they take a clone off of it and turf the papa? I have no idea, nobody really talks about the male plant.
I myself have had a few males that would throw pollen like nothing even under 24 hour light. I have even cloned them and they still do. I have always thrown those ones away. My guess is that yours will keep throwing pollen…
There are many males that will stay in veg without creating a pollen storm.
I have just recently gotten rid of a male that I have kept around for along time as a “poppa plant”. It never put out any pollen under 24 hour lighting.
(might have to pick off a pollen sack every now an then)
I took some pollen from the early males just for kicks then trashed them. Took cuttings from all the other plants and stuck them in Jiffy pellets. They are pretty scrawny, I am used to topping plants and using more substantial cuttings. But I wanted to just let these grow and not mess with the structure (OK, I did on one). I hope they root.
Easy enough to keep them small.Just want to get them rooted. I also have a couple of seedlings of what I think will be the feminized Dinamed. If that turns out to be true I’ll send you a few.
Not really into autos, I like to control their destiny. I think the Cherry Wine I have from the last run has some THC in it, maybe I should try some tonight? I might like some 1:1 in the future but right now I just like a little mood enhancement late at night and the higher THC stuff does me well then.
