bump...

I'm sorry, girl. I'd like to say I have a perfect answer, but I'm not an expert on the subject. I do have one suggestion, though. Here it is:

Put plastic baggies over the branches you have pollinated. Leave them there for a couple days. You can use clear baggies so they can still get light, but not get any wind blowing away the pollen. I'd say leave them like that for at least 1-3 days to make sure the plant grabs the pollen. Maybe open the baggies a little each day to give the bud some air.

That's my suggestion. :twocents:

Good lucky, Brooke. :D

Edit: Good idea coming to grab me in my thread. lol. ;) Don't forget to look at the updates. I'm in the process of updating them.

thanks fog, but its just too big to bag (think of a sog.) tall, one stem....

love, brooke

What do you mean too big? Never say never. I'd say that GK would probaby be able to help you more with that. Where is he? Kitchen trashbag? Cmon, get creative...

p.s. you pulled me off my thread updating...now just finally getting back. lol. ;) g'luck with that girl. Where the f is s..a...g...e...?

i'll think of something....

After a day or so, the hairs on the pollenated calyxes should fall off and the seed has taken. It might be a good idea to turn your fan off, and be careful not to shake them around to much.

you can mist them lightly, enough to wet the branches at the next on light cycle, and im sure you could probably even do it sooner just not sure of the minimum amount of time needed but 12 hours is long enough.

You can build a makeshift pollenation box out of a shelving unit...
Don't forget the ventilation.. granny-size pantyhose work well for that!

I think I may resent that granny sized remark there.....sonny (j/k)
