Thanks everyone for the great advice. Sounds like I have a few weeks before the kids are ready, and in any case I will practice preventative measures (wash hands, change clothes) before the big date. I keep a close eye on those unburst pods, and I definitely DON'T want all my girls to show up in a family way. I'd like to think my girls aren't that easy, and wouldn't steal their sister's guy, but what can you do with kids today ... :-) So I will pluck the pods the instant they have burst and try the bag method on the lower branches of the lucky girl (she's the short bushy one -- I like her growth pattern). Then I'm afraid the male will have outlived his usefulness! As much as I wanted them to have a traditional honeymoon, I can see the risks.

If I think of it, I'll post results.

Do bees ever pollinate cannabis? Yesterday I was tending to the girls and saw a bee on one of the emerging buds. It was immobile but alive, and wouldn't leave the bud until I shook the branch. It fell to the ground and flew away clumsily. I suspect that was one very stoned bee! Would love to hear the conversation back at the hive.
Kitchen Weasel Reviewed by Kitchen Weasel on . 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 Rating: 5
