Did anyone try to put the clones into total darkness for like 3 or 4 days ?
When you did this. What light schedule did you use while they were in the water? I'm using a sweet tooth male to pollinate a jacks poison female. Can't wait.Caprichoso said:Also last year, I grew out some Sweet Cindy (a SweetTooth x Cindy99) X Ortega. It auto flowered on me big time. That was my first and I've never seen anything like it (from what I later learned, this trait is common in the ST). Male and female showed at 14 days from seed. Males were dropping pollen at roughly 21 days. I kid you not. Females showed alternate branching at the same time the boys pollen was dropping. I had intended to breed them, and the males would pollenate both it's own females and a Rosetta Stone I had been growing for years, but this was looking less likely as pollen filled my veg area.
The easiest solution was to collect the damn stuff, and since I had been continuing plants for so long with water cloning, I decided to try and stick several entire male branches in water, just before they released most of they're load.
It worked better than I could have possibly expected. The males were long enough that they hung over a glass on an angle enough to keep the droppings on the (freshly cleaned) glass and out of the water. Over the couse of five days, they left at least a full gram on the glass, along with the remains of male flower petals(?)
Finally, I collected the pollen up and mixed it 10:1 with plain white kitchen flour for fridge storage
