170 from one bud? :shock:
I need to stop wingin it and do some reading. I go pretty heavy handed with pollen so my timing must be off.
I think I'm averaging about 20. Sometimes much lower and I have to shred through buds til my fingers cramp up.

Push back your pollination, so instead of at like 3 1/2 weeks do it at 4 or 4 1/2 weeks so there are more pistils to dust. You'll just have to let them go a little longer than normal perhaps but you'll get more beans.

And what I found works great for pollinating is using a qtip to dip in pollen then I hold it about 3-4 inches over the bud I want to pollinate and I tap down of the qtip which creates a nice puff/cloud of pollen that falls down on the bud below. If you breathe heavy or have a fan going then the pollen will wander off but with fans off it drops down pretty well.

Works well for me and I always end up with more beans than I was expecting honestly. Nice healthy beans too generally, which I don't know if the pollination technique does anything there, lol.

So after the cold weather a few weeks ago, followed by my brand new ph pen taking a shit on the 8th( and I'm stilling waiting on the new probe from Milwaukee), followed by a 24 hr inspection notice in which my plant had to go into flower for a few days, followed me doing several other dumbass things... the girls are finally looking and growing happily again.

This year has been brutal on my patience for growing weed in an apartment, lol. I miss my basements and dedicated rooms, lmao. But I don't miss the risk of being molested in prison, so lemons into lemonade.

Anyhoo here is the bubba's gift from HSO, supposedly it's a slow veg but this one has kept up with the goji and actually handle all the stress the best out of all the seedlings and clones I have going. I hope she is as nice as I've heard, flavor wise.

Here are the 4 goji girls, 2 are lanky/tall that I have tied back/down

The other 2 are shorter but I think #4 would have been/is a taller pheno but it was affected the worst by the stress they went through. She has the worst side growth but again I think that is because it was fucked off.
#3

That's the approach I took with the Guavas. I used a small stiff round synthetic paint brush and just dipped and tapped. Worked beautifully on all the lowers and I still had the top half of the plants for smoke. Outside it was kinda of half assed with me doing some of the pollen painting and letting mother nature do the rest.
I've decided I prefer the control of indoor even if space is somewhat limited.


Thanks for the tips everyone.

This is my grandpas breath I dubbed “tiny cookie” just so happened to have a gdp male. And a Bogglegum male. And a crapload more lowers in the outdoor garden. Shuckers paradise! I remember seeing a video of Mr. Soul taking a mixer on a drill in a 5 gallon bucket and sifting what was left.

I've been doing the same with a little paintbrush. I make a mental note to check a few days later for the pistils to recede. Then I go back through with pollen if needed.

Triple B update.. I only got 2/5 of the Sweet Dixies up :wall: 1 didnt pop and 2 fizzled before they came up. Im not sure but I think it may have had something to do with using RO water? I'll try and grab some pics of the 2 survivors when lights on.

Next up! dropped 4 Copper Orgi.. in tap water this time like I usually do.

Ya that shit was hilarious.. I remember him sayin it to Crocker on one of the first episodes. The first couple seasons were some of the best television made.

reverse osmosis filtered water. I buy it at the grocery store so its actually filtered and Uv lighted and all types of other shit. Idk why it would have much of an effect but that was the only thing different.
