A few banana clusters have opened with pollen, but the big sacs still seem to be closed and growing.

You might have to remove the pods and manually pollinate as looks like its reverting back to Female.
Compared to your first Reversed pic looking near fully Reversed and now looking more 70/30 Reversed, I pick off any open flowers and either sprinkle over pistils as soon as picked off or save pods to dry and sieve clean.

Looking great either way

Thanks boss. I recieved that info last week on OG and i started pulling em. I do get some pollen from the clusters when I pull em at the right time but I haven't seen any pistils turn orange on any of the sites yet. Worried it's not viable pollen inside.

Takes longer than normal ( with Reversed pollen) for hairs to turn/show orange so just keep sprinkling the pods you pick off straight onto any white hairs , but after a few pods sprinkled over bud move on to other bud sites to pollinate.
And keep repeating with any open pods or just about to open pods , as if timed just right you can get a pod before opened ( looks like its busting or even a tiny split) and you can get a nice amount of pollen just from 1 pod instead of a fully open pod that's drop alot of it's pollen.

This has been nagging at me though. Isn't Dogwalker (Chem 4 x (Albert Walker x OG))?

So you're crossing to the albert walker, which is really nice, but that *might* actually not be a bx right? Cause one eye used OG?

I could be mistaken... I just know the OG is in there right?

If you are crossing to one of the original parents it's considered a step in the BX process.

You are telling me Albert walker isn't a parent when it is? Got it.

It's part of the original P1 pairing of AW x OG.
Not a p1 of dogwalker, no. Hoss is crossing dogwalker to Albert walker. Which is a grandparent but not the direct parent.

That's pure semantics.

One could take any cutting in that lineage and use it to back cross. It all depends on your end goal.

It's not semantics, it's just how backcrossing works. I apologize if what I said wasn't
We can agree to disagree on that.


I've seen plenty of people work a three way cross back to one of the parents many times. It's actually a lot more simple than you think. You just need to know what you are looking for.
