#8 sure looked like a girl to me. But if it's a boy it's a late flowering one, which is a good thing IMO. I've been wanting to try the focus stack trick...you have it mastered!
Do you mean this is a male? Hope you didn't mislabeled. Good thing you still have her around
Strange one to say the least .@Marcus_in_the_Darkus I was pretty certain it would be a girl as well! @Islandgrower I saw some pretty clear male parts the other day and no pistils anywhere. when I double checked for resin comparisons #8 was the spikey one but no pistils!! Will snap a shot or two of the male floral clusters that are starting next time I have a chance.
I would sift out the plant matter the moisture from the flowers can destroy the pollen.Today was the day… RIP (male) Mango Haze #2.
He has been dripping pollen for a few days and exploded with pollen sacks over the last couple days. I lifted him over top of the females and gave him a good shake. A far amount of pollen visibly went into the air over
top each plant.
Then I chopped the floral clusters / pollen sacks off and put them in a jar. The jar is currently in a dry dark cool place with the lid off. Going to give it a few days to a week, then shake up the jar (with a lid on) and hopefully extract a bunch of extra pollen . Then plan to use a q-tip to manually place pollen all over a few bud sites on each plant. I don’t need a pot of bud from each plant I really don’t smoke THAT much, but I want to make sure I get a decent number of seeds from each plant in case I fall in love with any, but have trouble reveging!
