Hey, they look real nice, bro. Can you get a little closer shot of those 3 females in the middle.

That's a beautiful male in the first shot. Looks like he'll be opening real soon.

So it is a male ? If I pollinate , the seeds would not be hermie ? This could really help us for next year....please advise

If my Angus Bull was hung like that, I could get an extra $2 a pound. LOL I would say that's a full male. I'm pretty sure that thing growing out of the top is just new growth, not a flower. Kind of hard to tell from this angle.

Just for S and G [since you want seeds], I would place the females downwind from the males to make sure they get any pollen that is blown off the males when the male sacs open.

Ok, good news then ! Glad I didn't pull him ! Working on more pics.

 

[Rosebud]

Yep, that's a boy, not a hermie. He will start spewing soon.

That didn't sound good.

Ok, it's on ! Just need to put some Barry White on....thanks again everyone for all the great advice. I will keep ya posted ! Brohio

You might do a Google search (or forum search) on how to pollinate. Things like collecting the pods in a plastic baggie and shaking them on the female buds.

Nature will probably take it's course and they will pollinate naturally but you know how it goes.... if you didn't want them to, they would. Since you want them to, they won't. LOL

Shaking some of the pollen thoroughly on the fem flowers will just up the guarantee.

You are going to be totally amazed at how much powder is in each of those sacs.

1st pick looks like a true Male to my old tired eyes. The 3 females look rather like autos. What strain are they again? If they are autos you maywind up with some *&***ed - up genetics. While any male will fertilize the females, sometimes the results are not what we hoped for. If the females are autos I don't think I would fertilize 'em but that's just me.

The 3 females are clones, while the others were from seed....

are you pollinating the whole lot? if so you'll really lose out on smoke.

the 3 middle females look a little late for pollinating to me too. how far along are they?
seeds take about 4-5 weeks, i always like to let them cook for atleast 6. so pollinate week 2-3.

Oh no !!! need 4-5 weeks ? Not sure if our weather will hold off....and no, I'm not pollinating all , just like 4 of them, but the male grew up next to them all this time, they might all be pollinated. We just separated them a couple days ago. At any rate, we have learned a lot from you guys, just wanted to say Thank You !!! :watchplant::watchplant::watchplant:
