Pollenating question

[vanislecheeb]

I have just weeded out the last of my males from my crop....and am wondering, how do i know if my girls have been pollinated? most are in there second week of flowering and some are on week 3. i have a feeling its too early too tell, but i heard that some of the hairs will turn red early and die.

this has been alot of work and id like to know sooner than later how much damage the one little one we missed could have done. out of every male out htere, only ONE had its petals open up, and it was just one single nut that opened, and it looked half dead. wasnt very mature. The top cluster of balls werent even fully formed yet.

Anybody had a single male pop, and still had good results?....im really hoping i dont have a seed farm.


cheers

I dont think there is any way to tell. But it sounds like you will be ok as he didnt get much time to puff everywhere. maybe a few seeds in the plants right beside him. A bit of pollen on one bud makes that bud produce some seeds not the whole plant. But saying that it does only take one male to completly seed a large garden.

If it was a small pollen sack, Expect a few seeds. It should'nt be a problem. If it was a fully grow male with all the sacks open, then I would worry.
