Thanks.. I'll pop up some pictures of the insides tonight.. gonna wait till after dark.. JUST IN CASE... No more WASPS please........ lol
(btw they were wasps. looked these fucker up.)
Note. prepare yourself for the chills when looking up insects that creep you out... Scrolling through a page of pictures of wasps bees and hornets is NOT something I find fun. lol

don't have a decent cam at the moment. but these were mostly sittin on the paper below my male this afternoon....
all fell off... partially opened but no pollen.
still letting him go a few more days.
I want to do what I can to get some pollen that is not just crushed pollen sacs.
when these dry i'll pull the little sacs out and crush em up....
try it out on the smallest of my auto's.......
I may take it out of the cup and just keep one solo. we'll see....

No. using a broom I waved them into the kitchen and dosed them with some BrakeKleen!....
was all I had handy that shot out further than a foot.... I won't even get close to the fuckin things..
like my girlfriend with spiders... I will pick spiders up with my hand and put them in the garden.. lol...
Most of the time I never see them again. but I got these little jumping spiders I see everyday..
they leave no web and jump around eating gnats lol.....
I could be allergic. just haven't been stung by one....
last time I got stung by anything it was a honey bee. and I was like 11. running around barefoot.... stepped on the thing and OUCH!...
I can't risk having them get in anyways because I have an 18 month old daughter. We have no idea what she is allergic to.........
I've been going through the house to check all my windows. some of the screens have holes but I have screen to rescreen them.
I'm ordering my 2 6" boosters tonight.... I know I will need an inline w/ scrubber when it comes time for flowering but that's still 4-6 weeks away.
I still can't believe this grow started on page 9 of this thread..... I have updated and upgraded so much in the last few months......
Just wanna thank everyone for viewing this and for all the advise I have been given so far...
I don't plan to go anywhere anytime soon. so be prepared to answer more and more questions as the grow goes on

Hell yeah bro, breeding!! I just collected pollen, so I'll give you some tips. Oh, and thanks for the rep! So leaving a piece of paper under the top of the plant takes a while, but it will work and get you the most pollen. But I only plan on hitting 2 or 3 female branches or nugs with each male and that's it. I'll either keep good males as clones after that, or say good bye to the pollen. So for this case, I just collect a little bit real quick. I fold up a piece of paper and stick it under a big male bud with lots of open flowers or opening flowers. You grab the stalk right below the flower and beat the shit out of it against the paper, or just shake it real good. Some flowers will fall off, but so will plenty of pollen, I usually use a leaf or a stem to bat away the male flowers that fell into my pollen. Then I fold up the piece of paper, label it, stick it in a clean jar, label it, and then wipe everything off so it doesn't unintentionally spread.
To control pollinating, cover the plant which you wish to cross with a trash bag, and cut a slit for the desired branch to pollinate. Do your best to keep it well covered and protected. Use a small paint brush to dust your nugs, and then cover with a paper bag and tie shut for 2 days. Make sure each branch that has different pollen on it has a different colored ribbon or a name tag so you can remember the cross. This way you can get 4 different varieties of seeds on 1 plant.
Good luck!

Wish my 2 grower friends were like that. haha.
One is becoming sketchy... On all sorts of drugs at the moment so I don't really see him much....
Can't stand dealing with people tweakin out on molly(PURE MDMA)....
growing outside the front of his apartment building, less than 300 yards from an elementary school....
Kids walk by it every single day......... SKETCHY. no need for him to know where I am living now. lol
The other has MY Blue Dream going. local patient here who just got his own apartment/grow, away from HOME HOME with the wife and kids.... He hasn't been around in a few weeks. Probably cause he owes me money for an oil change. haha

Another good tip is to spray down the plant with plain water everywhere you don't want pollen to stick, and spraying down the branch you pollinated IMMEDIATELY AFTER REMOVING THE BAG. This is just all precautionary, but works very well, I don't know if it's true, but spraying it down may reduce your seed count after removing the bag. Last time I did this on a whole plant I pulled 550 seeds out of a 7 gal, 2 ft plant. Pretty mother fucking good, no matter who you ask.
But I grow in a very tight circle, but I also have an outer circle. All of which are the nice people I meet in person here on RIU, lots of good people on here. Other than that, I've known everyone since High School, if not a lot earlier. Nobody is sketchy, we all keep each other in check, most of us has helped each other out of addictions that developed at one point or another during our friendships. I've never had an addiction issue, well, cigarettes and sex, but that's not a minority, lol.
I started growing in '09 in my first pad, a big ass 3 story. Since then, I've almost never had to buy weed, even in a drought all my circle had weed all the time. Everyone I lived with in that first house was a long time friend, and I taught all those mother fuckers how to grow after I did my first, and they've all been killing it since. Not that I'm a wizard or anything, my friends are just real smart people. The only time I've had to buy some smoke was when I moved far a county away and worked 60-80 hour weeks, usually with 1 or no days off. Counties are huge around here, btw. Even still I managed to do 2 small crops start to finish to smoke on, but there was a pretty big gap between the two, and both got rot and I lost half the crop because they got no attention, and I was in "Little Saigon" and it was fucking humid as shit! I'm not racist by the way, the city literally calls itself "Little Saigon."
