Yeah, I definitely can't say for sure - my main experience is plucking female pollen sacs - always use wet fingers to get the pollen wet first, otherwise the stuff will explode everywhere if you break the sac.

Good advice - that reminds me - you could just put the pollen filled bag around one branch and seal it with a twist tie to pollinate just a part of the plant right?

You'd want to make sure the plant is pollinated before you spray it down - the water spray should just keep the bits of left over pollen from getting back in the air and on to a plant you don't want seeds from.

They both look fine to me - it looks like those are hairs coming out on the second one too. If you get balls that don't open right away, then you have problems.

If you spray down the plant real well after pollinating, the water should take care of any stray bits of pollen.

Cool, looks healthy. Glad you are trying it out!

Gotcha - yeah, those can be used in many different ways - drain to waste is nice for simplicity, but I don't think straight hydroton would hold enough water for that, so you'd have to have several cycles per day off a res if you want to use that as a medium.

I've heard of it, never used it... looks too expensive to me.

I've not used Dutch Buckets, so I don't know what I can offer... is that like a bato bucket? The only thing that comes to mind is to keep it simple, so you might want to go with just the standard perlite if you are running a big grow. However, if using tap water works to your advantage, then a...

High Kaylyn - Look at the light kits from HTG supply if you want to get a decent light cheap. I'd go with a 400 HPS setup for around $130. If you want to stick with hardware store stuff, get a bunch of CFLs, some 2800 K (yellow light for flowering) and some 5500 K or above ( bluish light for...

Have you ever used a enzyme additive like Cannazyme? I was wondering how much it would help dissolve small root bits when reusing the perlite. Those girls under the 400 are looking good!

Who me? Can you post some pictures?

I hear you about the genetics - just really learning the ropes with it myself... but plants that look real good to start can certainly disappoint, even with perfect growing conditions.

Now I'm baked,

Do you mean with a vertical bare bulb? Yes, I have a 400 CMH in a 3x4' closet. Check out "Heath Robinson" if you want to see the ultimate bare bulb grower...

Very nice harvest... + reps!

Look for female pollen sacs nearby - like two bananas instead of hairs coming out...
