I am exactly HALF WAY DONE with flowering. Heres your update:
Got some pH down since my pH level throughout the whole grow has been around 7.0 -- working on getting it to 6.5
Cut some of Charlie's balls off, let them dry in a jar.
Found the branch on #3 that I wanted to pollinate. I chose one of the smaller branches down at the base of the plant. I tied it off to the side, turned off the fan....
I then used a paint brush and got the dust that was released from the balls and covered the bristles.. I then very carefully "painted" and "dabbed" the brush on the top of the budsite.
I waited awhile and turned the fan back on. This branch really isnt in the wind path at all. I cannot see any movement while the fan is on it at all but I felt leaving the fan off for a little bit wasnt going to hurt anything... I waited until the temps went up, and flipped the fan back on...
So... according to FDD's tutorial, I should know if the pollination "took" within "a day or so". I only did the top of the branch. I didnt do the little mini budsites that go down the branch. Anyone know if I am suppose to do the whole branch?
Either way. There is your update guys!
