Thanks, I'm leaning toward option c, too. What I thought was a cluster of male sacs down low turned out to be under-ripe seeds! (we're talking way low where there's no light and I thought pollen wouldn't reah, too!)...so I'm starting to think it's going to be mostly seed and no smoke, but that's okay this time. As long as there's enough to sample.

I'll keep you all posted!
