What happens if you pollinate an unrooted flowering cutting?

it still makes seeds!

I did this as an experiment to see what would happen and now the cutting is rooted and the calyx's are swelling up and I can feel the hard seed inside.

Didn't even realize this till today. I don't even have them on 12/12, they're on 18/6.

lol, interesting huh?

Huh, go figure. I would've guessed that it got pollinated, then took forever to take root, if ever, due to using so much energy to produce seeds. Good info man, interesting.

Either it won't root since it will start to expenditure energy to make seeds, it will die, or it will root and seed just fine. I imagine it depends on the plant and genetics.

In any case, every single cloned fruiting plant I've seen has either died, become deformed, or mutated like crazy. Keep that in mind. A plant like that might produce some bad seeds.

Well I learned the term "monster cropping" and wanted to see if it would still produce the results of "monster cropping" if you pollinate it.

Also wanted to see if you can reveg a seeded plant and flower it... what would the leaves / new bud look like?

However doesn't seem like any of the flowering cuttings have reverted to veg yet so we'll see.. it's a slow process..
