@smokenhike that is a nice one, I love that thing.
@chronix if you’re going to make another one, instead of wood I recommend using a small thick tupperware lid with a nice lip like this if you can find one
I don’t always have the best ideas or the best thinkings…
My thinkings were…why have a few plants in the way that are not showing sex yet get in the way of pollinating.
As I take the male and manually shake pollen onto other plants some of it can potentially be wasted.
I thought it would be better for pollination purposes.
Perhaps I should just collect pollen and use a paint brush or qtip to apply it?
I could… but I thought if I only got one male plant just let nature take its course.
Unfortunately not all the plants are on the same schedule for maturing.
I will probably condense them all back into the same 3x3 tent they came from soon.
I could start more seedlings in the 2x2 while the other plants finish, and move them in the 3x3 then after.
Here is a Blueberry auto that is showing signs of being pollinated…
The 2x2 tent with the 315 watt cmh. I have to keep the tent door open with a blanket covering it half way to keep it cool enough. Blanket helps keep from blinding you and air flow.
I have a fan on the floor blowing air into it to help remove the heat.
I suspect 2 of the plants are male…
Will wait to see.
I found a female in the 2x2 tent, that I have now re-introduced into the 3x3 pollinating tent.
It is still young, just starting to show. Perhaps it can make a few seeds.
It is a RK62 x Diesel Ryder from @Oldtimerunderground
I think this male Gambian x Blueberry has done his job.
Every plant is well pollinated in my opinion. Except for OTUG’s plant, but it was a bit late. I am sure it is slightly pollinated still though.
I have 2 plants left in the 2x2. I got rid of some males today.
I have one Ape Bubble Scout that is showing as a female on the left.
On the right is a male Cherry Brandy.
They are a bit droopy as they are thirsty and I haven’t watered them yet.
Being in a 2x2 tent with a 315 watt cmh is no surprise they are thirsty.
I was going to attempt to save some pollen.
I am very allergic to it though, so I had second thoughts.
I decided to throw it away outside last night.
If I had kept some I would have for sure sent some your way, sorry about that.
After spraying the tent down a few times, I have been able to stop sneezing.
