Lower Branches, Seed em?

i currently have this girly growing outdoor in a DWC setup

it has some lower branches that from wat i have read will only take away from the potency of my upper bud sites and have to make a decision wat to do with them. the plant is about 2 weeks into flower already.

i have already collected some pollen from a strong male i killed off a few weeks ago, and am wondering if i should use these lower branches to get some seeds for next years grow but am not sure if its a good idea or not.

-is it already to late to pollinate these branches? (being 2weeks + into flower)
-will the production of seeds on the lower branches affect bud potency on the rest of the plant?

i know i could make them into clones but i am not plannin on havin an indoor setup and think that with the added time of reverting the cuttings back to veg to root and then re-flowering, these clones will not have adequete time to flower outdoors before winter

thanks in advance

hey ther burbsking, I am suggesting that if you want to pollinate the lower branches, now would be the time to do it.. Yes, it will slightly lower the potency of the upper buds, due to using more energy in the lower branches to create seeds, yet the potency shouldn't be affected a whole lot. About the clones, would be a good idea for making seeds, yet depending on what month it is, might not be succesful before it gets too cold. I suggest if it's late july-late august go for it right now man, clones take a little less time to grow then seeds. Good luck with whatever you decide to do man, and peace :].

thanks alot for the reply stealing, i think wat i will do is just pollinate one branch near the bottom, so as the not affect the upper bud potency.

as for the other low branches i guess i might as well make clones, should get 3-4 really nice healthy ones, and i hopefully will be able to fully flower them before its too cold.

anyone else got any opinions on how potency will be affected?

peace yall

not enuf time to.
your too far on mate

if you do clnes take off the flowers b4 you revegg the cones.
freash start.
good look.

cheers crazy

so u think 2 weeks flowering is too late for seeds? damn but oh well it was only bagseed so im gona buy some quality seeds next season anyways just thought itd be cool

i will be puttin these clones back outside as soon as they root and therefore straight back into flower , should i still cut the flowers off before they go into my clone box under 24/7 if i aint planning on veggin them at all

cheers bro
