Thats what I wanted to hear. With my limited knowledge I just wasn't sure if stresses worked the same for quality of pollen as it did for buds. I will just flower out the males separate from the females, then mix the pollen and dust a branch or two of each female. Am I wrong thinking this would be the same as flowering them all together?
The preflowers will eventually open even in veg releasing pollen.I got another male plant noob question for you folks.
If I were to flower out males , are they also possibly fucked up by light leaks etc, or can they flower normal under less pristine conditions?
Cheers
Ya the first part is why I have always cut the dudes as soon as they show. One male flower can pollinate like a mofo. I currently can only maintain one proper flowering area yet would like to make seeds. So instead of flowering the males and females together I am thinking I could flower out the males in less then ideal then mix the pollen together and dust a branch or two of each female. I am guessing that would give me the same outcome as a true open pollination?
Some might not, but how old is the male?
No more than 6 months & then I usually take a clone for backup reasons. I've seen when some start to polinate and I just cut them back. Seems like you have to manage the lowers as the entire plant doesnt release pollen only the tops from my experiences.
Agreed, it's the older node balls that I see open in veg. If you manage them they should keep from flinging dust.
NIce! Hope they provide you with plenty of beans. Are you just flowering them out with a small light or led?
Thanks man, and yeah, they are all under like 135w of cfls on a power strip, lol. Not much at all. Wanted to throw a quantum board or 2 on them, but can't really afford to right now, so fuck it, just going to roll with this.
All 6 of the copper crosses were done under 3 105 watt CFLs, and yielded generously.
I remember some of your posts stating such, which influenced me to go ahead and work with what I have laying around. These clones were grown only for making some seeds, and anything beyond that is an added bonus.
Healthy AF.. well done brother!I used to run a lot of OG a few years back the last few Ive ran havent been the same. Keep us posted when they drop and if this is still your favorite then
#4 still behind the others, she surely will need at leat 2 more weeks then the others 
Check my posting history here for how they behave in f'd up soil party cups and 4.5in pots, 12/12 from seed.
