"AutoWreck" ? or maybe "Train Ryder" ?
Both names sound great. The reverse hermi auto is still growing at a fast pace. The last Blue Streak that I had like this grew at an amazing pace. You gave me an idea. Pollinate and put outdoors. I don't have much space indoors. I can pollinate and put outdoors. It will have to be hidden and will not get much light. Just want seeds anyways. Take another pic in a few days.
I found the picture of the last reverse hermi I had. It's a Blue Streak. Both plants are the same age. The one on the right is representative of the size of all the other plants. The one on the left is the reverse hermi. LOOK at the difference in size. I made a few seeds with it and saved a small amount of pollen. Have to run them some day but it's definitely on the back back burner.

It gave off a glut of pollen too. I couldn't help but make a few seeds.

More pics of trimmed STA. Here's right after I trimmed it for comparison

Close up.

I chopped the top off and pollinated the male with STA male pollen right after I took these pics. I have no idea what will happen. It doesn't seem to be making much male flowers only pistils. Will it make seeds. Who knows. Probably an experiment in futility. Fun to try though.

I collected pollen from it today. It put out a little more. Going to save it separately and use it later. May back cross with seeds that I made earlier from a mix of this plants pollen and a couple other nice males. The seeds father will be primarily this plant because it put out the most pollen. My experiments trimming the pistils to increase height on the abused females were a failure. They did seem to get a little higher but not enough for the effort. I did not cut off all the female parts just the pistils. Maybe if you cut off the calyx too it would make a difference. It was hard enough trimming the pistils. The trimming of the male I consider a success. It grew back and produced more pollen. Not a huge amount but enough to pollinate a few flowers. It's still growing. I pollinated the pistils on the male. Have to wait on that and see what happens. I'm not very confident that it will make seeds. Long shot. If after a few weeks it doesn't seem to be making seeds I may cut it back again just for giggles.
