Will a revegged, pollinated plant still produce viable seeds?

[Finepointcanon]

Hi guys, I have a handful of f13/Temple Flo males which have pollinated a number of plants which I was unable to prevent from flowering due to not having electricity at my new place for around a month. Now I have adequate lights, if they all switch back to veg will those seeds be viable in a month or so? I hope so...

Some claim yes, I've played and for me no.

Hey bud, I just did this with a skunk 1, it revegged and had viable seeds!

Just wait until you can see the seeds popping out and are dark in color. They are fine.

Every time I’ve done this it’s worked out.

I usually use my greenhouse to do small pollinations very early in the season, by the time the plants have seeds to collect the daylight hours have increased and the plants are in natural veg/re-veg growth.

I’ll either cut the plant like normal or leave it to continue re-vegging and pick the seeds off when they are visible as lost tribe said above.

Best of luck!

Yes they will. As long as seeds have started forming, if you switch to veg they will mature faster than they would if they had a flowering photoperiod. If you don't care about smoking the buds, give them some grow nutrients and the seeds will mature even faster.

You can even pollinate pre flowers on a vegging plant without any changes in photoperiod and the seeds will mature correctly.

Great, thanks guys! I might get some f2s and hybrids without giving an entire harvest to seeds

Yeah I'm not too worried, I want to flower them in a month or so, but I need to reveg as I hadn't taken clones and was not able to control the light due to unforseen circumstances.

If you are reverting the plants, and are planning to flower them, it will likely take more than a month though

Thanks, I haven't done it this way before. I do have the time so if it takes longer that's ok with me. Mainly I want to take rooted cuttings, if they grow kinda weird in flower I'm not too worried.

 

[revegeta666]

I'm not sure I'm following what you're planning to do. If you only want to take cuts from them, you can do it in flower too.

Thanks. Yeah that's really it. If I can take successful cuts I'm ok putting all of them into flower to finish out.

Does anybody try this with clones? I had some clones that I cut last year from the flower room not realizing they had been partially pollinated by a male (clones at 4 weeks flower). They rooted and maintained the seeds. Seems like it would be a good way to get small amounts of seeds without introducing pollen in the flower room for small growers.

If the plant don't started to move gently to senescence, you're good. Most of the time the problematics encountered with seeds come from a bad regime (nutrients) and from the timing (during ethylen peaks or just before, self-limiting the time of maturation of seeds). The use of 24/0 can help in emergency to have more margin if the timing is too short.

Woah thats kind of game changing info for me. I cant wait to play with the entire of pollinating and re veging simultaneously
