So we had a serious scare over the last week, and concerns are still abound. Pink Lemonade shares the Flower Tent with Cotton Candy Currently. Somewhere, Cotton produced a total of 5 pollen sacks that all opened before I found them. MAJOR ANNOYANCE. Cotton is COVERED with seeds below the main crowns. Pink Lemonade, I cannot find any signs she got pollenated. Fingers crossed, no seeds show up going forward, but from what I can see, no issues as of yet.
Normally, I would have pulled any plant showing male signs, but I did not see these empty spore pods until AFTER I found seeds. Cotton is 2 weeks ahead of Pink. Fingers crossed, Pink was not fertile at the time it occurred.
I am too far into these grows to kill them off, and would rather a few seeds for future grows.
Oh noooo! Sorry to hear about the male parts and seeds issue. Its so crappy when you put so much time and effort into a plant just to cut it down later with no benefits. I to had issues in the past with this, turned out to be my lights and a light leak that was the culprit. I'm not 100% on this but I believe the pistols will turn brown upon fertilization, and it looks like they are still mostly white on the Pink Lemonade! Best of luck to you and the remaining plant! Keep it green friend.
@Thundrfuk,
Thanks, it was a disappointment to see all that time go to seed. BUT, as you stated, on the bright side, it does appears that Pink has made it past the concern point. From what I have seen as well, and what I saw with Cotton, the hairs do turn earlier when fertilized.
Thanks again for sharing... You basically grow the same way as me, same strain and nutrients. Really helping me judge things better for my tiny grow room! Thanks and you are doing a great job! Keep it up.👊
@DoDrugs420, I have sampled it a couple times during cure. It keeps getting better and better. The Citrus flavors have really come out. So glad I did this grow. Gonna have to do it again SOON.
@MonroeGrow, Myself, I have actually been using Flora products since my first grow. I originally started with the 3 product system Micro, Gro, and Bloom, however after a few years I read up about Lucas Formula, using only Micro and Bloom and have been doing that since. The only change is I have added Big Bud and Bud Candy in for this grow for the first time, as well as a Co2 bag.
