In the AM they all had a big drink of H2O.

I rearranged the grow room the three females are in the back and middle. I moved all side lighting to high light only the girls. I need to finish the Mylar as all the plants are now taller than it is high. The males are just inside the door. (PIC 1)

I am trying to collect pollen from the male plants. They’re little pollen sacks should be ready anytime. I tried to find info on this but only a small amount of growers mess with this. I have the method down but still unsure on timing. Too many variables to know for sure. (PIC 2)

I’m drying all the fan leaves from males 4 and 6. I plan to make hash from them. (PIC 3)

The nextt pic is some of the hardest so far. The big baggie is the female leave trims from last week and the tray is full of male new growth off of 4 and 6. The new grow was all close to the main steam and was small leave clusters very tight packed each one is like a tiny head of lettuce. Very high in thc. All the males are at max thc now as soon as the pollen open they will start to drop. I plan to harvest the just as that happens for max thc plus I want the pollen. (PIC 4)

My wife and I have been stone off our asses since Friday night. This is the first week that the garden trims were enough for me to get stoned every day this week. Plus with the male havest of two plants I have enough for three more blow out weekend or a month and a half if we take it easy. Then when I harvest the other two males that should give me smoke until the buds are ready.

I’m so ripped it took hours to do this post. All on what most people throw out. That “Ask ED” book “Trash to Stash” that I got at rhe used book store was well worth the $2.00 I paid for it.

Female flower (PIC 6)

I to wasted to type about the clones but they look good.

You get high on leaves? Thats insane, you are lucky my freind.
I helped my buddy trim some plants and we got shitakied! And also able to make some very potent brownies!

Its all looking amazing, be careful with those dudes though. Just one sac poppin open and all is seeded! Good luck as always.
Oh and your grow setup has somewhat inspired me. I finally put my grow cab together. I'll put pics up tmrw. You don't have to much longer!!!!!

I can't wait to see the bud porn in a couple of weeks!!:hump:

:peace:

I plan on seeding so if it pops open no big deal. I would like to catch the pollen in the jar and put it were I like. I only have 5 seeds left. And I really can order seed or get dope here. So I need the first crop to have some seeds.

The second crop with the clones will be seed free.

You're going to have to completely disinfect that grow area for those clones. I'd hate some residual pollen to mess your grow up!!

Yell, my next step will be to slow veg with cfl on the female clones. Then as soon as these finish. I will put the males if on flower for a week or so to boost the thc.

During that time I can finish the grow box. It needs more light proof. I have a blanket over the window and the room is dark and off limits at dark cycle. If I could finish the box I could use that room at night. Maybe set up a mother chamber.

I also need to finish the Mylar and move some duct work around to help with eff.

Have you thought of segregating(sp?) the males and then harvesting the pollen? Then just paint whatever bud you want to knock up? If you mess up then more get prego but if you don't then you get the best of both worlds!
Also have you thought of feminizing any seeds??

I don't have a place. big city apartment grow. i have to keep it in the grow box for the air filter. you can't even guess how much smell a male has at this stage. when i bring them out for water and prun it smells the whole apartment ant we have a big place.
