Yeah depends a bit on the strain but typically males will be ready to start opening up the sacs around the 20-25 day mark. BUT, when you put a male in at the same time as the females, they'll always be ready when the girls are ready to party. It's like they synch up, gotta love nature. That Blue Ripper male is always fully matured and ready to collect the pollen around Day 23-25.Ive always wondered but was afeared to ask... if you start a male and a female at the same time and they grow up together in the same garden.. the male must mature far more quickly, yes? So that the pollen can, fly and get the girls pollinated in time for them to carry the seeds to maturity, yes?
So does the time line look like... the males compared to the females?
Some of the pods on that male are actually open now but maybe 5% so far. If you zoom in just below the purple flowers on that male, you'll see one fully opened with his "bananas" ready to go
If I'm pollinating with existing pollen I like to hit them around Day 21-23, by that time the flowers are ready on the females and gives them a good 5-6 weeks to build fatty's I waited a few extra days and just hit 2 of them to see if I can get the Blue Dream x Harlequin P1 fem to take some pollen. Something went wrong last time I hit it so giving it another shot Used Blue Ripper pollen and Blue Ripper x Harlequin to test as I know the Blue Ripper pollen is good (it made some seeds on other plants last round).
