Many, thanks! If nothing else it’ll be interesting to see what the hell I do with all of these plants…

So IMO I think that this is sometimes the hardest part and I have a Uncle that usually gets input from his 12 year old daughter n he just tells her the names because she knows that my he smokes(medical card) and luckily it’s not at the house because he wants her to not have it all around her which I totally respect but anyway she’s great at it since she still has an imagination still and lives in her own little world like we all used to awww miss the good old days…

Is it safe to assume if the other jammy dodgers aren’t curling like the one that was pollinated that…
1.) That the pollen was in fact viable from this barely 35 day old male?
2.) That the two plants with no curling that just keeps right on growing are not pollinated?
3.) If I have doused my entire tent and basement grow area with water, am I likely pretty safe? These were just a handful of tiny flowers that dropped pollen straight down, luckily no fan was on the blueberry males
4.) That these will have some potentially very fast offspring? Since both of these plants just got on with it, despite me purposely making life difficult on them?
Also, what should I be expecting since I pollinated this small plant that flowered early so early in life? Will she continue to veg? Will she grow and make as many seeds as she can? I don’t have to continue to pollinate this same plant if it continue to veg, do I? Should I put some pollen on newly formed buds, or is every bus from here on out pollinated?
Thanks for any help from anyone, hope none of those questions were too dumb

Indeed it was, only takes one flower to make a bunch of pollen.
Probably, usually with autos you can definitely tell in about a week.
Probably, water will neutralize the pollen and keep it from spreading.
Sure the potential is there for some fast offspring. Only way to know is test the progeny.
I would expect about 50-100 seeds.
If it’s a photo in veg, she will continue to veg so long as it remains under vegative lighting…
If they were pre-flowers, they will continue to mature the seeds.
Not unless you want more than a handful of seeds.
Again unless you want more than a couple seeds. Once you cleaned up the pollen, no new bud formations should get pollinated, unless you have more pollen drop.

Just some quick shots of all the remaining seedlings. The younger ones are starting to outgrow the ones I torture tested heavily

These guys (blueberry auto makes) have just been sitting near my aquariums with a little very blue overflow light and stagnant water. They seem perfectly happy, and like they’re done spewing pollen, for now…
I had to grab another tent since what was going to be me jail still had buds drying in it and it should be here tomorrow🤨

No, that’s from earlier on. Accidental then I assume?
Those would have to be at least a couple weeks old, could even be a month.

I feared someone would say that. There’s no way possible I can think of for it to be from earlier 
I know it’s absolutely insane to think this is from being pollinated just days ago, but it’s happening with a few clones I pollinated, of various strains… the others that were pollinated definitely had much less life left in them, but they’re showing significant signs of changes at the very least.

Ok, I took pics the day she was pollinated, let me dig them up and get rid of the nasty red and yellow light.
Ok, here they are, now have to check the dates in my phone…

Ok, they were pollinated 8 days ago.

8 days is definitely possible. It’s fast for them to already come peeping through, but it’ll happen in some strains.
They’ll still have to ripen of course

@Wizzlez @hollyho @Banquo @Osogreen @DougDawson How much longer do you guys think they’ll need to hold out for them to ripen? I am simply shock that this is working. I feel like I may have just unlocked some weird dimension to a new way of breeding autos. Maybe someone has done this before this late in life for an auto plant and auto clones, but I haven’t seen it. All I’ve had is people telling me I can’t do it, or you can’t clone autos like that, or you won’t get seeds Which I believed, but gave it a shot anyway. Most of these clones came from plants that yielded 500g +, so it’s not like I needed them to give me more bud. And it’s GOOD and strong. I actually felt like preserving their genetics in some way was a lost cause.
The original plan was to reverse other clones, and they were in the process of being reversed, then I saw a spider mite web on one and I ditched them to the bitter cold.
Thinking it was way too late I put off my plans for next time, having been told it would take 6 weeks for seeds to develop. Then, I ordered some seeds from someone that had PBB breath pollen and was able to tell me about about the plant. So, I threw that on to be used later, assuming the clones will be done throwing white pistils by the time it arrives.
Well, the pollen took a week or so from Cali, but the day it arrived I noticed a couple flowers in my 30 some day old blueberries had dumped pollen over night. So, I got a little paintbrush and bruised some on one of the clones. Later that day, the PBB pollen arrives and I then go about pollinating the remainder of the white pistils and signs of new growth… 8 days later, this is where I’m at.
These were just taken and I didn’t edit much for accurate color on some, but you get the idea…

If I understand my botany correctly, the moment your pollen grain hits the pistil, the pollen grain sends out a “pollen tube” which travels along the pistil toward the place where the seed will form, this whole process of genetic exchange takes place in the first 72 hours, which is why 4 days is too fast for a swollen seed.
Seeds usually need 4 weeks at absolute minimum for fast strains, in my experience. But who knows, you could get lucky after 2 weeks. Wouldn’t count on it though. Just let em ride it out if you ask me.

I’m gonna share with you a little something I’ve learned over the past 10+ years of growing.
I’m dumb as fuck, I’m arrogant , half-blind, largely incapable, and that’s all because I’m human, and so are you!
Luckily I didn’t invent growing, God did. And you know what they say about God?
Man makes plans, God laughs.
When you see a male flower dumping pollen…
Chances are you missed one more.
When you see 1 gnat flying,
there’s a whole family and a few egg nests in the soil.
There’s a good chance you didn’t only pollinate them yourself if you ask me.

Thanks, that’s great info to know!
When I pollinated them I really thought I had a chance with the two larger less developed clones. But 6 weeks felt like a stretch since they were so far along and should have been dead long ago, and not even bothered with in the first place.

A solution can be to revert them at the end.
Just cut them down as you normally would, but at the bottom you leave a couple budlets with some leaves. If you then put them back under 18/6 they will start to grow again, and it’s hard to get to a good harvest then but having them revert enough to grow a flower for some seed production is definitely a possibility. It can even work on auto’s.
It takes only a little bit of space (if the time of the year permits it you can do it outside or in a greenhouse), you can even cut the root mass down to a smaller ball if you like so it’s even less space-consuming, and you don’t have the reduce in quality due to seeding a bud because you’re already past your production stage.
