I'm practicing with some bag seeds and have already made a little mistake and stretched them a little. I started with a 10w 3000k led, then went to a 400w mh , I put the MH about 2ft too high I suppose. I've lowered it back down now and everything seems ok. It's just if I mist them with h20 they will fall over from the added weight.
When I was new I was very scared of the males, thinking that one male in the house could somehow turn all my girls into breeders. Now I know better and see that it is actually difficult to pollinate plants not in the same room with the little bit of pollen that hits the air. When I want to work with a male I isolate him in another room, away from my fans in the flowering tent. Then I simply gather some of his pollen into an empty pill container and using a small artists paintbrush, I carefully apply this pollen to one bud on one branch of a 2 week old flowering plant. I put a colored twisty tie on that branch to label it, and then watch as the pistils on that pollinated bud turn brown and curl up over the next day or two, showing me that pollination has occurred. This allows the rest of the plant to develop as sensimilla and I only turn one bud into a seed factory.
