How long do you plan to wait? How long has it been since flip so far? If it's been a couple weeks already I'd let them start getting busy now, lol.

Well looking again, maybe another week would be better. They look like they're about 2 weeks from flip.
They are a couple weeks in. In around a week or so the males will open up. I am going to collect the pollen and when the ladies have some better developed bud sites I will put them together. Can't introduce under developed girls into the sand storm that's coming until they are ready. More pistils to pollinate means more seeds. Well that's the idea anyway, my first seed run and all so I certainly am not an expert.

Full disclosure, I'm no expert either. I've never done a seed run. The first time I grew I did get a few seeds because my area wasn't light proof, but that was over 20 years ago, lol. I've never done what you're doing.

I agree to wait a bit longer. I just know it takes quite awhile for the seeds to develop, but my plan would be around 3 weeks to introduce the pollen if it was me. But I have no experience so my opinion is shit.

And I already see that some of those balls have erupted and spilled its load on a couple fan leaves. Poor little leaves. Where are those damn Seaman wipes?

LOL, I felt bad for them but it's at least all on itself. But one of the seed guys who is advising me through this basically said it's nothing. In a week or week and a half it will be more like this.

So we had some AC issues yesterday, by issue I mean some bonehead turned it off late at night collecting pollen and forgot to turn it back on when leaving the room. For the record I am that bonehead. Temps shot up to 40 c in that room and the plants did some major drooping. Thankfully it was only really hot for a few hours and all is back on track now. Light is working great, ladies seem happy. I do love the little 2 headed mutant :)

Did you start with the light at 100% or ease into it??

I’m using the same light and it’s my first grow but my plants were stressing in veg if I put it on higher than 50-60%.

They look great by the way, I hope mine turn out half as nice.

Thanks bud. In this case I have it at full power but they came from under and HLG 600 Rspec so they were accustomed to the light intensity. Had the plants started under this light I would start at 50% or so and the first week to 10 days of flower I would turn it up a bit each day until it hit max.

So just a quick update. Plants rocketing along, left for 5 days and had my daughter taking care of them. Now I am back and happily they are still doing fine. Going to be a ton of seeds from these ladies and I have to say they are thriving under the light. Good job on this on @ViparSpectra Grower , you folks have made a quality product that works well.
