Smelly little flowers.

8) Hi, I have a little tree that's about 5 months old and been flowering for at least 2 months and doing fine.

I decided to prune it for the first time today. :dunce: One branch has a about 4 very tiny white flower looking things that smell good. Does this mean the whole plant has been pollinated? Should I chop off that one branch? what should I do? :wall: Damn pollen!

Thanks.
 
Pinch the cluster off. Then watch for any new ones. One cluster isn't going to pollinate the whole thing. You may get a few seeds from the lower branches. No big deal.
 
You'll have to post a photo. Sounds like your plant is flowering. Pollen doesn't have a distinct smell and it doesn't sound like any pollen is present. Don't prune a flowering plant either.

Goodnews! I caught it early. See pic.2, it's my best flower. Can you estimate how long until it's snip-ready? I assume you clip flowers when they mature and not all at once? So glad I didn't screw it up. Thanks.

Edit: Pinch not cut huh?

It took a while to find this one on the bottom of the lowest branch. At this stage are they throwing out pollen yet?

So, don't prune little stuff towards the main stem that's not producing? Thanks!

Best way to tell when it's ready for chop is to get yourself a loupe (60x or better) or a scope. Check your trichomes. When it comes to harvesting, It's a personal preference. I like to chop right when I first start seeing amber.
 
I honestly never kept a male long enough for it to flower so i cant really help. Im interested in what others say so im going to stick around.
