Newbie to Boards, outdoor pollination question
Hoping for some great advice! I haven't found this question answered on the boards.
This is my second outdoor (balcony, well screened) grow in containers from seed -- two years ago it went so well with five females I didn't need to grow again last summer. Good thing because there was NO sun last year! I am lucky this year with six strong females and one male. This time I kept the male because I want him to pollinate one of the girls, I like this strain and want seeds. I moved him to another balcony way on the other side of the house as soon as I found his gender. The girls are just starting to set their bud sites, the boy has a few blossoms, not yet burst and signs of many to come. I'm hoping that by moving one female to his balcony they can have a wild romance. All the on-purpose pollination info here talks about collecting pollen and brushing it on a few branches. I'd like nature to do the hard work for me, even though I know the female will be less productive once pollinated.
So, the question: will this work? There is a prevailing wind, so I'd put the girl close and downwind of the male. When do I do this? Will the female be mature enough, even though the buds are very small? Should I wait or do it right now? How long should I leave them together? Do they need soft music and low lights? Barry White? :-)
Thanks to all the good help I've found so far here.Kitchen Weasel Reviewed by Kitchen Weasel on . Newbie to Boards, outdoor pollination question Hoping for some great advice!
