Just knocked up 3 ladies and have a few questions

[grod31]

Just collected pollen and dusted my ladies with a paint brush @ around week 3.
What kind of nutrients should i give them now that are expecting?
I have them in a shower that is not used as quarantine but would like to get them back into the tent tomorrow where i hve 5 other plants.Can i shower them down nice and heavy? Maybe spray them with neem? The fertilization should be done right?

Hope you’re in good standing with their fathers

I wait for 24 hrs and then spray them down and back with the rest. It's longer than you have to wait but better safe than sorry. Don't worry about neem unless you have other problems your addressing with it.

 

[grod31]

No other problems. just figured the oil would trap any pollen that landed on the leaves and what not. They touch the other plants so im expecting some level of pollination to happen. I have neem on hand so it wouldn't be a problem.
I was reading to go back to high N in addition to my regular flower feeding does this check out to you guys?.

 

[grod31]

I bumped them back to a 6 for nitrogen. Its what i read and it seems to check out. Nitrogen is the building block for all cell growth. Im pretty sure I need some blocks to build my seeds.

I just spray with water after pollinating not neem.

Io darei il solito nutrimento che si da normalmente.
Non produce solo fiori ma anche semi,quindi il bisogno di nutrimenti forse non aumenterà ma rimane

 

[grod31]

I see people selling pollen online so im sure its safe assume it can travel for a lil while. Seems like we can load up some q-tips and mail them out to each other. I dont see why that isn't 100% legal. 1 q tip would probably only make you a handful of seeds but its a-lot easier than making vials. I dunno it seems like a great tool for sharing genes.
Anyone want a q-tip of the Iron Cindy pollen?

I was going to repeat the entire pollination process on the same plants today. Just to make sure i get all the seeds i want. Any reason that would not be a good idea ?

I think its better not to use any stuff on the flowers anymore this won't get out of the buds completely. It's too late.

 

[midwestkid]

i normally pollinate atleast twice. just mark on your calendar and make sure you leave yourself 5 weeks after you dust them so you dont end up with a bunch of premature whities.

 

[grod31]

not sure what you mean there need for seed.
i would say i have at least 6-7 weeks for them to finish. But this is soley for seeds so i can let them live as long as it takes

 

[NEED 4 SEED]

If it's just for seeds then it's ok. Only if you smoke those buds you shouldn't spray insecticide stuff when flowering has begun.

 

[grod31]

5 weeks since I hit the ladies. Mos of them seem to fully developed seeds. Some are eve popping out of the plant. I figured i was letting the seeds bake for 6-8 weeks but i guess they finish up quicker than that.

 

[St. Phatty]

If I am indoors & concerned about residual pollen, I move the pollinated plants to the shower after a day, and run the water hot so that it steams everything up.

The water doesn't go directly on the plants.

 

[grod31]

Should i just run these plats until they die naturally for best seed development?
I would llove to put them outside for last few weeks to free up my tent but wityh the increasing light level im notr sure how that would work out for maturing seeds.

that will work fine

 

[grod31]

okay they are already acclimated to the sun so i will let them finish up outside. Please speak up if you disagree with this.

i have pollinated a plant and revegged it simultaneously. you are all good

Once pollinated you can do just about anything to them. Some people even throw them back under veg lighting

I feed seed mothers basically vegetative nutrients till they're done.
