First grow, Deep Chunk open pollination

I'm actually thinking of hitting up the TK and the trop cherry with some of the DC pollen I have in the freezer today.

Is 25ish days into flower too late to pollinate, or just about right?

Here's some pictures from today. Did some pollinating. Both the TK and Trop cherry got some pollen. Actually everyone may have got some. I was a bit heavy handed, lol.

The deep chunk doesn't look like it has any pistils? Honestly, they have always looked a bit off, healthwise, during this grow. They did have a pretty bad thrips issue earlier, but that seems to be over, for the most part. It's funny how the thrips didn't spread much to the other varieties in the tent. They just loved all them huge deep chunk leaves

Things are starting to frost up, and it looks like the pollen took!

It looks like the TK was a bit more prudish and unreceptive. Not nearly as many signs of pollination as the trop cherry. At least how it looks now. Tempted to go back at it with some more pollen.

The trop cherry looks plenty pollinated on the branches I hit, AND surrounding branches, lol. But I kinda expected that

And I don't know what is going on with all my deep chunks. Both clones look like shit and aren't really forming buds. I already got rid of one of them to make room for a dehumidifier i needed to put in tent. Might just scrap the others too. The really frosty #9 clone still looks kinda frosty. Not nearly as frosty it should be by now tho:
