Somewhere, someone made the statement that this is what breeders do if they just need a few seeds. I didn't know one way or the other and never commented on it.
Anyway, my kid was growing out a bagseed for practice and it turned out male. He was mad, hoping for at least a hermi.
I had some clones left over from making new host plants and decided to see what was what.
I had 3 cuts in gallon pots and 5 more in party cups, all under 18/6 and all loaded with pre flowers. I moved them outside around the male for three or four days. They all got pollinated.
Then I went one step further with this little experiment. The 3 in gallons I left outside, but the party cups got brought back in to 18/6 and 2 T-12 shop lights (4-40w bulbs).
The surprising thing is, the ones under the T-12's had next to zero white/immature seeds. The ones outside didn't have many, but more.
The seeds are still drying in a paper bag and then into the fridge for a 'winter' nap and then I'll see about germination rates and so on.
So, apparently you can pollinate pre flowers for a few beans and the nice part is, they will develop under low light and a 18/6 light schedule.:holysheep:
