how many weeks after pollinating can you start seeing seeds in the bud? I feel like i have some that didn't take, but pollen was only 4-6 weeks old.
Pistils should start to recede days after pollination. A couple weeks later you should see some seeds plumping up in calyxes.

Did you notice pistils turning red soon after dusting.

Also how long had the plants been in flower?

Do you worry about pollen mixing with that many flowering males at once or do you stagger them?

Also, still no sign of carol baskin kush. Hopefully monday.

It's absolutely bizarre. @MInewgrow is the only one off RIU that received his pack. All sent out same time. More than enough postage etc. I mail/receive mail constantly without a hitch.

So when using multiple males I usually flower out my males first, cull undesirables. Then I take the male I want and shake the pollen onto a table. collect pollen in bag with rice, place in freezer. Clean table and repeat.

Then I'll put the females I want into flower. When they're ready I'll shake the male I want over each one and let them sit a day without any airflow apart from each other. Then I give em a quick spray with water and they go back into flowering. The pollen takes in 24 hours and then the water helps get rid of the excess.

I'm sure it's not perfect, but it works. :)
