some questions on cross polination??
When there are enough pistils to pollinate. Usually week 3 to 4. I only pollinate using a Q-Tip with most of the fuzzy stuff removed, or a fine paintbrush, on the underbuds. This keeps the cola virtually seed-free if done carefully. (no sneezing while pollinating, and turn off fans) One calyx holds one seed.
