[Skunky Dunk Farms]

The 2 little ones in the lower right of the 2nd pic are 2 Sundae Punch girls getting a little love from the haze.

Future Hazy Sundaze coming. those will be fun to see you grow!

Ok, so I started these under 11 hours and 45 minutes daylight for 3 weeks, early spring.
Then to 12 hours 15 minutes daylight for 3 weeks, summer.
Now at 11 hours 45 minutes till finish, fall.
They showed sex at 24 days.
Man these boys are dropping pollen!

 

[Skunky Dunk Farms]

The males are dropping pollen from the branch tips! The floor of the tent is yellow.

 

[Skunky Dunk Farms]

We have a pollination happenin!


Already starting to see a bunch of swollen calyx's.

 

[Skunky Dunk Farms]

This tent had serious soil gnats last grow, im happy that sticky trap in there only has pollen sacs on it!

 

[Skunky Dunk Farms]

Ive been stopping by the tent 3 times a day a stirrin up the air.
I have a 9" fan hanging in there and when i peek in i point it at the boys and sway them around.
A stiff puff of the yellow stuff fills the tent.
I do this through a small opening in the zipper.
In the evening about 30 minutes before lights out i turn fans off and dim lights a bit for 20 minutes before opening to water.
I make sure to finish with the flower room before doing this for the day.I

I suppose I ought to take some of this Haze pollen and hit a couple girls in flower too.

 

[Skunky Dunk Farms]

And I did!
Man these are really putting out the pollen.
I'm not sure how I could've made the males to veg a bit longer, they just started dropping at about day 33 from seed.

 

[Skunky Dunk Farms]

Ok boys and girls, we have victory!
There are beans everywhere!!!
2 full weeks of pollination in and no signs of letting up.

This is pretty cool to see an open pollination in action. Thank you @Skunky Dunk Farms !

How stringent of a cleanup job is needed after something like this?

Lol, its a mess! Pollen will generally die after exposed to heat, air and humidity for a few weeks i guess for the most part.
After doing the skunk #1 seed run in my big flower room the next crop got flowered at week 7 and no seeds from previous round.
Shop vac and damp towells to wipe down the tent thoroughly is all I can do.

 

[Skunky Dunk Farms]

The males are falling over from the weight of their flowers.
I gave the girls si to keep them upright.

Actually after the NL#5, RKS and Deep Chunk seed run I've decided that open pollination is the best route for seed production.
By doing the seperate branch method i did not do great on the seed counts, especially after pulling 600 gms. of beans from the Skunk #1 open pollination run.

I bought a 2x2 tent for 1 male and 1 female to open pollinate. Do you think it'll be big enough and how long would you keep them together? Would you flip them together? sorry for all the questions.

I have 2 tents that size, I don't think Ide try it in one of those.
Ya have to grow the full length of a regular grow to do it all.
