..I would think Yer' due for a flower run for your own enjoyment...I'm surprised your mask didn't stop the pollen!?...being immunocompromised, I wear a N95 down here in Mexico, but only as required, for entry into grocery stores or shops...no way I'm going home with a mask tan line like so many others down here...good luck on the pollination and whatever you decide to do next...cheerz...
...h00k...

Yea I'm kind of inbetween flower run and seed... I guess I will probably clone the plants, then flip them and if I get a male, seeds, and if its all female it will be flower. LOL. I 've reduced the amount I have been smoking lately as I've been trying to up my motivation, testosterone levels and get back in shape.. I think my addiction to coffee, my stress over the last few years as well as my young years of taking a lot of diet pills, androsteine may have messed up my metabolism as well, so really trying to get back in shape as the Lbs added on and cannabis, although I love it, really lowers my motivation, focus and drive. I've been reading about it a lot, and from my understanding, stress, inflammation, bad eating and coffee all spike cortisol levels, which is the destroyer of testosterone and probably one of the main reasons I gained a ton of weight, and have low energy... I've started working out every day, and also researched some supplements, so Ive been taking Ashwaganda and Tribulus Terraris which are both known to lower cortisol levels and naturally pump up testosterone... and I can honestly say, wow, I feel about 20 years younger, full of energy and drive again... Amazing actually !
I knew the mask wouldn't work... as most masks wont, unless they are N-95 or N-100 and properly fit to the face. I figured I would try it out just to see, and yep... no help at all. All these cloth ones, surgical ones and KN95 are pretty much worthless as they let a lot of air exchange around the mask. Also especially for covid, viruses are less than 1 micron, so nothing other than the N95 and N100 will even stop it because the "holes" in the fabric are too big to stop a 1 micron virus... a great analogy is like taking sand and throwing it at a chainlink fence expecting the fence to block the sand... same concept. Its a shame that our "medical experts" have known this through the pandemic, and lied to us repeatedly as the science has not changed.
The worst part is these things are forcing us to breath our own co2 and the co2 levels quickly within minutes reach over 5000ppm of co2 which is around the OSHA threshold for a day, creating a hypoxic environment. When I was doing compliance for the extraction company, we were debating whether or not to require ventilators for employees who were using ethelyne and other chemicals, but we decided using carbon filters and exhaust hoods/fans was a better route, because we didn't want to force our employees to use the masks, which OSHA actually required a full medical examination by a doctor before legally we could force the employees to wear them.
Sorry to hear about your immunocomprimized system... I've done a ton of reading and research on this covid thing, and some of the best preventative things you can do is make sure to take vitamin D, quecertin, zinc, vitamin c and have low body fat ratios... and other than that just practice normal hygine like keeping good distance from people, washing hands. The good news is that each variant that mutates, the ratio of infection ability goes up, but the danger/harm from each one goes down which is good and we are getting to the point where its really in the same catigory of a bad cold or flu, which is really good news.
Hopefully I will get at least 1 male out of the new seeds, because its the last "have to" project that I have been wanting to do... A chem/OG project and then I've pretty much hit all my goals... sativa, landrace, purps/flavor, blueberry, choc thai...etc.... then I can focus on reducing my mother strains, or even getting rid of most of them, and starting to explore my creations I've made over the past 3-5 years.
Well have a great day and happy Valentines as well! Always appreciate you stopping by and sharing some good vibes on my journal Dr. Hook!
I'm having a blast making all these crosses and hopefully I will have the time to try them all at some point 
Sure, that'll keep things safe. You can hang around people all day that way, right? The home-made ones were down in the 20s%. So 4 out of 5 get through on every breath.
Go figure.
That's a sneaky one. Sure, you might want a little more sensitivity for a novel pathogen, but another 10+ cycles?? Sheesh, that's gonna pick up fragments and dead strings, etc. Can't "spread" a non-functional piece of virus.
