hey guys looking for some help. so im about 5 weeks in flowering I started with 3 females, sprayed one of them with CS for a week or so. It was success full in turning the one plant to produce pollen sacks. Now they have started to open up and it seems that there is zero pollen in the sacks! Has this happened to anyone? im thinking it didnt work, and wondering were i screwed up. any help guys please. or advice.

If you only treated for a week, it may not have been long enough, also you may net be giving them time to fully develop..
To check when mine are ready, i place something clean underneath, like my finger or small white card, and lightly bump the tip of it with something underneath and check for small dusty looking particles. When you see that then remove the nanner, and for the most effecient use of it aplly with a toothpick so you can get more pistils with the amount of pollen. which isnt very much in most that ive seen. still enough to get plenty of beans tho.

ok thanks, I haven't tried to open any they are opening by themselves. I sprayed 3 days before turning them to 12/12 then turned the lights to 12/12 and continued to spray for 1 week. The entire plant is covered in pollen sacks looks exactly as a male plant would.

SOunds like it may be enough then..

I just got through pollinating a few with some female sage pollen.. The ones that are ready should be opened and a yellow color, i had a few open but still green/greenish and nothing would come out... I had two nanners ready and plucked the 2 sets off and set in a small plastic container, then i dug into a single nanner at a time getting the pollen out with a toothpick and applied to the pistils on the bud i wanted to do, it also helps to mark the stem with the pollinated bud with a twist tie of something so you know, 4-5 weeks and its easy to forget, especially after all the nugs and stems get mixed up drying. MArking also helps a lot when pollinating different buds on the same plant with different pollen

Ok perfect thanks yah the once that are opening are green, I was just leaving the fan on in the same small space hoping for the pollen to just get one the 2 other females. Ill wait a bit loner and hope that they turn yellow next week or something. This is my first time so its a learning process thats for sure.
