i watered them this morning.
the budsites are forming nicely.

when i switched to flowering i fed them a tea
1 Tb high P guano
1/2 Tb high N guano
and 1 Tb molasses

also i'm watching the male closely to collect pollen as soon as he is ready so i can get what i need and chop him.
looks like shit could blow soon...

the male has started dropping his pollen, only 3 or 4 balls have opened up.
Ive attempted to catch what i can in a pill bottle but now worried that since the pollen is dropping I might accidentally pollenate everything.
i might cut the top cola and keep it far away to get that pollen and trash the rest of the plant.

i took the screen off

stem all twisted

nice plants man. I was wondering if you pulled the male a day or 2 sonner could you have dried out the balls in a cup and forced them open to collect pollen? could you (prune) remove all stems except one on the male so growth would move toward the kola? just kinda curious I have a small grow space and I'm not setup to clone so i need some seeds. plus i would like to cross pollinate.

koolhand..i just took the male out of the room and put some paper around it for the pollen to fall onto..i was going to do the cup but this just seems easier

cheeta, i really wanted to do a scrog but with no clones or fem seeds i just had to put them in their own scrogs. it seems to be working fine, just not one big scrog, but i can move these around

thanks for the comments, i was beginning to get lonely

the two girls are very different from each other.
the one in the first pic and left on the second, she is budding nicely with strong branches and dark green leaves...she was the runt.
the girl on the right in the second pic, she seems to be taking her time with long wispy branches, but she looks happy.
yesterday i fed them some guano and molasses tea with a hint of fish emulsion..mmmm

Click to expand...
i scraped the pollen with a razor off the paper and into a pill bottle.
i dont think you would be able to see anything if i took a pic because the pollen is like powder and not much of it.

ill take pics later on when i attempt to impregnate one of the ladies:mrgreen:
stay tuned...:eyesmoke:
