Okay Joe,
also here's a little clip from something DonPaulP said here about maturity on the seeds:

one thing to be careful of is the seeds that are visible may look brown due to the air getting to them, but where its still covered by the seed pod it may still be slightly green, when ive had seeds fall out the calyx before one half was brown and the other half was a lighter brown/green colour, it was still viable and it turned a nice brown colour after a few days.
the seeds will still develop while the buds drying

I did find that to be true, on a few of them were still green where they had been covered by the calyx. I probably could have left them a few more days and been fine. I would have had to rig up something under the branch to catch any that might fall out though. When they are ready they slide out of the calyx's really easily. It's natures way.....(I love that song)

ok thanks for that bit of info. how many seeds did you end up getting off the 1 branch

I got a total of 101 seeds off that one little branch with just a small amount of pollen. I was amazed. When I get to do a whole plant, I'm going to be so happy. :-)
 
I got 70 seeds in the small portion gram worth i flash dried of course those arent viable and every seed you collect wont be viable but you will easily have over 1000 even to scour through
 
When you hang your plants upside down to dry put a tarp or plastic under the plants as most of your seeds will fall then. dont use a newspaper as the ink will get on the seeds and any buds that may fall. No need to smoke ink.
 
You'll be very happy Joedaddy, there's going to be seeds hiding everywhere. I had a lot of them very close to the stem, hidden from view.
It will be like Christmas! (But leave the snow out)
Have a great night everybody. I'm getting rested up for a long weekend with the girls and making Willow water. :)

Hi Lester, hope all is well in your wonderful garden too! Hope kitty and turtle are getting along. LOL
It is just amazing what spring will do for mind and body. I have windows open today with fresh air coming in, we might get a thunderstorm or two today/tonight (I live for a good thunderstorm), and water fowl of every kind have stopped off on my pond for their annual rest before going to their summer homes. It's beautiful!

Update day!

Dinafem fruit auto is a few days into flowering schedule and she is stretching tall! 16" now. I keep trying to tie down those big fan leaves to give some light to the buds, they are stubborn.

Next up are the Widow Master Gals in no particular order:

Thanks SABO! I think it's time to get these gals into their final pots before I wind up with root bound issues. I have to sew up some more cannabags, I'm out!
Always something to do when growing this plant.
:laughtwo:
 
Good lord. I can't win.
I wanted a thunderstorm today. That's what the weather forecast promised. What do I get? I am in the middle of an epic hail storm here. I had to barefoot rush out to get my car in the garage because the hail stones are so big. That quick it hit. I'm going to have bruises on my head!
Criminy!!!
I need to go find something to laugh about. LOL
 
All looks really good :-) Yep my house is all opened up almost time to close it down. I get cold easy. Your photos look good. Why do you not clip off some of the shadowing fan leaves? Just wondering. When mine shadow to much I just pinch them off with my fingernails. Is that a bad thing? Am I doing a oops?

Sorry, about the golf balls falling from the sky. That is a bugger. Hope your weekend continues to be happy:)

Hi Lady V,
I don't cut off the fan leaves because they are a major source of supply for the buds/plant in my opinion. There are people who will do it, but I personally feel it would not be beneficial to the plant and buds to do that. I do tucking here and there to open up bud sites and tie down the big leaves where I can to open up.
Smaller leaves toward the bottoms I will snip off now and then.

Anyone else is very welcome to post your thoughts on this!

Thanks for the golf ball thoughts. LOL This round wasn't quite that big, a couple years ago we had them that size with a few as big as baseballs. I took some pictures of them. Have no idea where they are now. LOL
When I ran out to get my car in, those things were hitting me and stung like fire! Hopefully that's the last of that nonsense. I'm sure the insurance company would find some danged loophole to keep from paying for damage from hail. Act of nature or some crap like that.
