No pollen in my sacs

[Green wiggler]

Lol, the sacks should have been open flowers for there to be pollen, closed sack no pollen viable at least. Flowers need to open and allow pollen to fall out freely. So in short, you should have left them longer to do there thing.
is that the only plant treated with CS or do you have others?
also, is there any of the plant left or is that it?

I have a bunch more sacs coming out of the buds and some on the nodes. If i keep spraying the whole plant then cut it could i tie it up in a black contractor's bag and leave the top a little loose or would it be better to cut it and put it on a drying rack? I just got a 4 tear black net rack in but I'm trying to figure out the best way to catch the pollen, IF I get any.

 

[go go kid]

I dont think you need spray anymore if you have sacks growing on your plant, just put the plant in a dark roomfor 12/12 and keep a sheet of paper under it to catch pollen when its dropped from the flowers.
isee no need to continue spraying the flowers anymore.
just wait for them to mature and drop there pollen

 

[Green wiggler]

OK. Someone else commented and said to keep spraying or i might not get any pollen and when i get some STS i won't be using the big bottle of cs Anymore. I was just wondering. But it definitely sounds like you know what you're talking about. I have an empty cut out water jug leaning into the bottom of it hoping to catch something. You've been very helpful. Thank you

When did you start spraying these, like right before flower? and how often, everyday until you get sacs? I'm definitely going to try and get some STS
Thanks

Right before flipping to 12/12 and then a couple times after that. You don't need to spray STS daily.

i was just checking on these plants because the two on the left have some powdery mildew on some fan leaves so i was removing them and are 3 weeks to chopping and the right one 4 weeks.
supposedly all females.
the one on the left i noticed has these at some lower nodes.
so is this a hermie?

The thread title is gold.

@cancerkiller Yes that plant is a Jenner.
Looks like it opened up pretty good. PM is another issue though...

I'm still laughing about the thread title lol

 

[PadawanWarrior]

My sac still has pollen in it.

thanks for the response.
i’ll check the other two tmrw.
should i do anything like try and pluck those little bananas off this banana kush or just let it mature and flower.
like should i remove it from the tent if the other two aren’t hermied?
i’m not a smoker so the flowers are gonna get hung for three days after a wet trim and in my decarboxylator whole.
from there into jars for curing down to 70ish rh and squashed in 100 micron filter bags.
so if there’s seed, they are getting squashed too.
but i don’t know anything, other than i need to extract a bunch and eat it daily to keep me alive by killing cancer,
if it produces seed, what will they be?
fem or just who knows?

 

[Green wiggler]

The seeds are ok to consume with edibles but if you're planning on growing them, be ready for more hermies. They will most likely produce hermie plants.

 

[Green wiggler]

Hermie plants will pollinate other females as well. I would say if you're growing to eat it, it would be ok but it will effect your future grows. You still want clean healthy buds instead of slow growing seeded ones in your tent

I've heard you can soak plants in a mixture of vinegar and water or peroxide and water to get rid of the PM. Not sure exactly how that goes but (especially if you are not smoking it) you can clean it before decarbing.

thanks for the advice.
my growing conditions are about like a grow tent in a barn.
fans is all i can do and i'm at the mercy of the weather.
soon i'll fix all that but i need these 3 girls for medicine.
the orher plant i flipped a week earlier and is in a separate location, hasn't got any nanners.
same banana kush from ilgm.
i'm thinking i stressed it tuesday when i modified the ten for more headroom.
i just chopped off any leaf i saw with mildew on it.
rollitup has made me neurotic about growing these girls for my medicine.
ignorance is bliss.

 

[cancerkiller]

some more pics i just took.
lots of flowers on this hermie which is what i like in my climate.
big buds tend to moldyhe two on the left actually flipped to flower 4 weeks ago.
were planted 13.5 weeks ago.
in this heat i've had them stretch and flower in 8 weeks from germination.
huge plants too.
thought they were males.

 

[Green wiggler]

Very nice. Sativa-ish looking from this angle. Are you 110 percent for sure that you had PM. The reason I asked is because my lights are just like yours and they throw a whole different shadow on my pants at just about that stage. I thought I had it and it was actually way the lighting was hitting my trichomes. I didn't realize it until I was running my t-5 lights and my Aglex 1000 side by side. It was my first grow and freaked me out. One day I went in to my tent and it looked like it had snowed on my plants.

Want to see some nanners? This is my final product of the colloidal silver. Hoping for some viable pollen to fall.

 

[cancerkiller]

ya, pm on the leaves for sure. very humid here. not bad just a few leaves and i'll keep chopping them off.
i was reading on ilgm that i could pluck them off with sterilized scissors.
i might take some old grow tent and make a partition. too hard to move now. 7" tall.

Bud washing in buckets

I’ve been reading a fair bit about washing buds with lemon juice, h2o2 and baking soda all in separate buckets. Can it all be done in one bucket then rinsed off or is there any advantage to doing it on an individual basis

I don't think you're doing it the right way

 

[Green wiggler]

No, i don't either. In going to order some STS next time around, but this is taking up space and the sacs that are on here stopped so i figured it was time.
