Looking good
As the females are pollinated, is there any benefit to maintaining the male at this point?

As expected no one warned me not to so, one last look at the male before chopping

The last male I used I just left him in the tent for a week while he did his thing, got somewhere in the roughly 4000 range from 3 females, you should be safe to cut.
When breeding should you lst or defoliate?

These seeds you see forming will turn brown, and some may start to drop off.
I pointed out a seedling that surprised me by starting to grow in a pot that was about 4/5 weeks into flower. I believe it is BOG sour grape cause that makes the most sense. Anyway here is an update photo she is doing well.

Meantime back on the ranch, I’ve got a black lime reserve who has some crinkly leaves. Not crunchy crinkly. At first I thought I was overwatering. Light stress? Not the tallest plant in tent. Grown in coco with coco canna nutes. Any ideas are welcome

Clone of the red afghan male I used to pollinate the plants. Through it in the tent to collect pollen for future fun.
Strange I feel like I’ve already pollinated with this plant. I want to pollinate with a different plant but I dont currently have any available so I’ll make do with what is available. Am I getting in touch with my feminine side? If your round do you still have a side?
How many joints will it take to get these thoughts out my head (like licking a tootsie pop). Three, I never got past three, never been a patient person.

Northern Berry x BOG LSD courtesy of @DougDawson daily giveaway. Also a shout out to #45 that day (not sure who it was) as they beat me to that spot, forcing me to #46 and the win.

Follow up photo of plant found germinating under a plant in mid flower. The big leaves, thick stalks, I’m certain this is sour grape (BOG).

Tomorrow marks my 6 yr. Anniversary of dropping my first bean with intent and desire. I’ve decided to mark this occasion by doing something I’ve attempted in the past, that is manifold or main line a plant. Below is the first step in building one with the pretty plant from previous post.

Edit- stems removed to be cloned
I know it’s hard waiting, especially for the first few beans.
When I did my White Widows I cut some of the buds a bit early, and the beans were not yet ripe.
Learned my lesson, and after that I’d wait until I saw the husks start to split and expose a nice, brown/dark green bean.
Shortly after that, I actaully did most of my harvesting from the top of the soil in the container. I’d go out in the morning with my coffee, large tweezers, and a jelly jar, and just pick away.
That’s a tough lesson to learn, which took me more than one grow to really learn, so kudos!
