1. Pollinated the autos with a cotton swab.
2. Cut 2 c4's and trimmed a third for cure
3. Spraying gelato with c.s. on the lower branches
4. Watered with lemon for pH down, Cal/mag/iron and recharge (forgot to add seabird guano. Have to wait till next water)

C4 is getting tall. Have to keep tying it down.

It looks like the pollen took. Pistills are turning brown on all the plants.
I keep spraying colloidal silver on the bottom branches of the gelato. Hopefully I can get pollen and seeds off the one plant! Cool experiment.... But it's my last gelato! So I hope at least I get some c4 x gelato seeds.

banner is getting big. topped and FIM'ed a couple spots. also some LST.
My Auto plants at week 6 have formed pistils.
I don't feel like they are quite mature enough to pollinate yet.
I am basically at the halfway point of this grow. I don't want to miss the window to have fully mature seeds.
Any pollination methods/advice?
It usually takes 4 to 6 weeks for auto seeds to mature so you have some time. I would give them a week or 2 to grow more pistils before pollinating. Don't stress about the seeds maturing because you can run seed making plants a few weeks past when you would normally harvest. I have pollinated autos 4 weeks into flower and got good seeds. I did a diary on making autoflower seeds you can check out also. Good luck!
i installed a 6" exhaust fan and carbon filter.
its trying to suck the entire tent up.
i have one 4" vent hole. it isn't enough.
what should i do? on a budget.
I'm sorry to say this but on a budget I think you may have to cut some holes... Still shouldn't let the smell out as long as you don't cut too many and the exhaust fan is always running....A better tent could also take care of your needs depending on budget. I hope this helps....I would say smaller fan but I think even that would fail with a 4 inch vent... happy growing ✌️👊
