1st day of flowering

[ojitos1985]

this is a very special day for me lol, i did begin the magic phase, this are my 9 plants, i got them under 7PM to 7AM on light, the rest is absolutely dark and quite exept the revolving fan inside.
and no fert, no lack sign, well guys what you think?

... how many days do i have to take out the males before the polen is relased? and... if i let the pollen be relased, how many seed will i get, i mean not exactly but.. you know... and aproximation, 10? 100? 1000?


and dude... i have forgotten wich one are the afganis and wich one are the skunks....

Chedk every day , it takes one pollen sack to screw up the plants and room.
If you screw up besure to bleach the room and everything to kill off the pollen.
The smell is comming good luck and have fun.

My experience has taught me to relax a little and not panic. First, I've never had a male plant drop pollen in my garden. You're not likely to see any flowers for at least 10 days and then you should have a week to confirm sex if you're not sure at first.

As to how many seeds? It could be any number depending on amount of pollen released.

I've had the occasional hermie where I missed a couple of pollen sacks and only resulted in about 30 seeds, no big deal.

alriiiiight... so the seed are proportional to the pollen relased? it mean i can redirect to just one female without touching the others? could it be?

You have to remember, one male pollen sac can release thousands of individual pollen grains... and it only takes one getting blown in the right place to produce a seed. I've left a male in the room with flowering females before, and it was allowed to release ALL of its pollen. I can't remember exactly how many seeds were produced, but it was in the hundreds off of just a 3 or 4 females. The buds didn't swell as much, either... and left me with much less smoke. If you're wanting to just get a few seeds, instead of hundreds of them, think about flowering the male in a separate area and catching the pollen on a plate when it drops... then you can selectively pollinate certain buds, while letting the rest grow as unseeded sinsemilla. You can flower a male long enough for it to drop its pollen with just a couple of fluorescents or CFLs.
