And you’ll know for sure if its a malawi leaner when it takes about 52 weeks to flower…sheesh.

I’m in it for the long hall. Thanks for being part of this Pollen is just starting to drop. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks we start seeing some seed development. Also most of the plants are touching the fixture or above it. So I’ll be tieing down plants tomorrow. These plants are almost starting to get out of control. No worries though!! We will proceed!
I’m amazed that there is absolutely no light burn with these plants being 6 inches away from a DE HPS…

LOOK at this plant. 3 hours ago it was 3 inches above the glass on this fixture 2 inches away from it. I’m not calling this a miracle. And I’m not fibbing. Look at the pics before… I think I’m going to let them grow into the light.

Hmmm… I think they are yelling “More, More, More…”
…Stop playing so much Billy Idol?? 
It would be interesting to get a light meter reading, I’ll bet it’s insane…

Pollen is flying, pisils are dying, and seeds are forming!
I got some of these plant yoyos. They are spring loaded with hooks. I hooked the tops of the plant’s and tossed the yoyos over other plants, and the weight of the yoyo is holding the tops down. The tops of the plants are leaning in together for max pollenation. I also bent the top of the plant in the back right corner. The plant in the back right is wayy different looking then the other girls…
Damn happy this Pollen is super viable and seeds forming!!

There will be seeds!!
About half the pistils are pollenated. This should go on for another week or 10 days. These males really ain’t dumping big loads. No pun intended. But they are however producing enough very viable pollen to knock these girls up!
Again I can’t say it enough, I’m very happy to see this! Nothing like an indoor open pollenation!

Lol. That’s pretty cool. These plants to me are on “auto piolet”. They need nothing except for water every 3 days. Everything seems to be dialed in. It’s just sit back and watch time. Now let’s let the universe work for us!

I made these things out of tinfoil and paper just hoping to catch any pollen I can. I got em stuffed right under the tops. I have no idea if this will work. We will see.

Pollen is really starting to drop. I would say a good 2/3 to 3/4 of the pistils are making seed as of now. Those Pollen traps I made are working some… I will be cutting nodes that have any Pollen on them for whatever I can get. Don’t quote me on this yet, but there might be a tiny bit to give… other then that seeds are growing and pistils are becoming fertilized, and that’s just what we want!

We are definitely making seeds! It’s getting pretty dusty in the tent. I’m still tieing the plants down and breaking limbs. They are taking this high stress training with no problem. The tent is definitely full. After the males are done doing there thing I will wait for seeds to mature then harvest. I’m not doing this for smoke. This is a100% seed only run. I’m getting excited! Still using just plain water. These plants are not picky at all when it comes to ferts and h2o…

I opened the tent today and inhaled so much pollen it made me sick to my stomach.
I have decided not to collect any pollen. I want everything to go as natural as possible. I’m shaking the center mass of these plants twice a day and boy I wish I could capture on camera what I’m seeing…
Everything looks pollenated so far. Seeds are growing!!
If you are interested in open pollenation I recommend reading the preservation runs done on here including this one and the link below.

All pistils are pollenated! Male plants are still dropping pollen. As long as the males are dropping pollen I will leave them be just in case the females decide to make more pistils.
Iv seen this work both ways. Since the females are 100 percent pollenated they may, or may not develop more hairs. To ensure complete pollenation I will leave the male plants alone.
I am going to stop using the Jacks soluble and substitute it with 10 ml of coconut water and 2 teaspoons of aloe vera per gallon of water, every other watering which will be twice a week or every 3 to 4 days.
On a fun note I left the tent open yesterday for about 2 hour and I had side branches growing outside of the tent. I would to see people grow these outside!

Looking like a giant forest in there! Coming along very nice. The males will probably continue to dump pollen another 30 days but it’s a good idea to get rid of them before that time. Too many seeds and you will get more immature seeds than mature seeds. If you want to collect some pollen I bet a credit card on the floor would do some wonders for you. Or cut a male top off and put it in a glass of water with a piece of news paper or wax paper underneath. Wait several days and then give it a little tap and a bunch of pollen will rain down on your wax paper. (Of course you’ll have to keep it out of the wind)
What kind of smells are you getting from the stems or buds? Any plants in particular that are standing out to you at this point? Nearing the home stretch now, keep up the great work!
