HOW LONG FOR SEEDS?`

R

randude

Hi Everyone. I put a male and a female Big Bud in my bathroom (with a nice skylight) to make seeds. I have already harvested the cola from the lady and this male is just about to make pollen (maybe even making pollen now, the male flowers are opening)
All I want to know if how long I have to keep this lady on flowering light to make seeds???
Oh, and once you have pollenated a female, would it work to put her in the 24/7 light or do I have to wait this all the way through. I mean will a seeded female try to regen under 24/7?

Thank you thank you thank you

You have already harvested part of the female, and the male isnt mature yet? If this is the case, it isnt going to happen off this plant. She should have been pollenated 3 weeks or so into flower.
 
I've had this same question. I've got a female (AK-47) that I was revegging after a 70 day 12/12 cycle. After about being in 24 hour cycle, this female was pollinated (accidentally) with a male (NL5xHaze).

Well after 2 weeks I've got about 20 fat white seed pods and the top buds have begun to show new vegetative growth.

I would like to reclone this strain, but would also like to harvest the seeds as well. Will the seeds continue to mature under the 24 hour schedule or should I place it back under 12/12 to finish out the seeds?


Has anyone finished out seeds under a 24-hour light cycle?

And what should i call these seeds nak-475? lanky 45? Chopper Haze? Northern Chopper?

I Luv, call your weed a miracle from God.
Keep me informed on what happens. JJ had said I am not going to get any seeds, but I am going to continue. I think the thing about nature is it really does try to survive whatever we through at it. All I am wasting is time waiting.

If anything I would try upping the light on the female until the pollen is ready, then go back to the 12. The thing is, you are going to need 4 weeks for the seeds to mature. I dont think you are going to get it.

Let me ask a question. Did you take any clones? Why not save the pollen, flower another one and pollinate her?

Hello,

hemp seeds mature faster than that pear, often within a week if the plant has a lot of leaves and only a few fructified eggs. Does the female still have white pistils? If so then shake the pollen out over them!

Well, as it is probably obvious, and I do mention it most of the time, I am basically on my first grow. A lot of what I am doing now should be considered an experiment. I bought some seeds online and have been given seeds by close ones. I had one Normal crop of Big Bud from seeds that I bought and numerous small crops playing with the seeds of others. I have had different plant species popping up all over this time frame. I had some young males that I just threw out to an old rose bush growing in a whiskey barrel and those males are still alive, dispite the fact that we had a couple of late but mild snows here. I had one free seed from the company that I bought my seeds from grow to be a surprise male, but I caught it in time. I put it in the bathroom with a sky light on it. I took one of my favorite big bud females that was 8 weeks of flower and put her next to him in the bathroom after I harvested the main cola. As you can see from the photos there are still some buds on here and they are tastey and frosty looking. So if she dies without seeds there is no problem and I can still smoke her. If she makes seeds that is all the better. I do have some clones that I started while the girls were well into their flower. I do not know if they are going to make it or not, but I am going to try. I have all of the other females that I have harvested going back to reveg (I hope). I up'd the N and I am giving them 24/7. As soon as one that I love goes into reveg I am going to take as many clones as I can (20) and get them going into a diy bubble cloner. I also have a pretty bag seed female that I am making a bonsai mother. In a few months I expect to have a nice big bud sea of green, or more likely a screen of green. My plan may look kind of fast and loose, but I think it will be fun and there well always be weed for me to smoke now without trying to bargain with the money grabbers out there.

Sorry, I had trouble with my upload.
Anyway, here is my complete total first harvest and my two in the bathroom having sex as we watch. I feel so dirty

High randude. For what it's worth, I have done this before with great success. You have plenty of white hairs on that female to get at least 100 seed, Im betting more. The problem I see right now is your male doesn't look it is dropping pollen just yet, but you said the flowers were open. :confused: You need him to hurry up a bit. Once you get a little pollen from the male and get her pollinated you can keep re-vegging the female. Your female looks far from dead to me, so you should not have any problems. The seeds will take at least 30 days to ripen, I would give them more like 45 to get them nice and dark. Just my .02 :joint:

Whiz, so what you are saying is that 30-45 days of what kind of lighting to get the seeds? Do I let her take the pollen and put her right in the veg center, or leave her in flowering light for 45 days?

Yes, I would let her take the pollen then stick her in veg. Make sure to let us know so everyone can see it will/does work. :joint:

Ok, Will do Whiz. I have a nice mother of this species, (Big Bud) so if the seed do not come, I will still have the strain alive and in female form. In fact I plan to make about 60 clones in the next few weeks. I have a few bud that want to make some buds of their own. Thanks buddy, keep on growing.

JJ, I have clones, yes. I wanted some seeds too. I want to try and make seeds out of this one female, and if I don't I will just try to smoke what is left of the buds or something. If I want to collect pollen for future use, what is the best way to catch it? I hear the freezer is a the place for seeds and pollen between uses.
