When is the Best Time to Polinate a Female?

how many weeks into flowering should a female be polinated?

weeks?

what do you mean?
she's ready when the flowers push out pistils...

sorry i mean when should u add the male polen to the bud? in what stage of flowering should i brush the pollen on? then from what i read i have roughly 6 weeks from this til the seeds are ready

Most strains will have pistils showing after two weeks, some earlier.... there is no specific time, just when the plant has pistils out seeking pollen. You want to do it early enough that she has time to produce seeds....

as early as possible.

brush?

no no....you grasp a male firmly while holding it over a female and shake it like a terrier on a snake...


nature knows best....

for me most strains are good at 21 days...when they have established some nice floral clusters

if you only wanna polinate a few buds..take a male flower that hasnt opened up yet but is ready to...roll it in your fingers till the polen drops out...its a good way if you only want 50 beans or so.

i like waiting until 23-25. lots of pistels, plenty of time to finish, uniformity in the maturity of the seed.

i actually added pollen to a ww auto while some of the hairs were turning orange and i ended up with tons of nice seeds.
