The pollen chucking is not critical, I still have a few hundred seeds (regular) from the same batch as my current Quad girls. Initially it was my intention to attempt to reverse sex out a female to produce female pollen and from there harvest female seeds. But that doesn't matter now, I have enough on my hands with my current balcony grow. The girls have now got such substantial canopies that it is really hard to move between them. Last season's grow was a doddle compared to this. Just opening the balcony doors this week now releases a dank stench into the house. But the attempt to pollinate will at least tell me something.How fun to be making seeds! I hope it turns out that your pollen is viable.

Thanks Shed! They have grown to become quite cumbersome, just thinking about maneuvering them around to take a photo of one plant by itself is not easy. I'll would no doubt get the vulcan death stare from my wife if I park them inside to make space and even if I manage to do so when she is out, then my neighbors are often fecking about just below the balcony which makes me nervous about making any noises that causes them to look up and study the scene!DD is right! Those plants are gorgeous.
In terms of pollen, most people store just the pollen rather than the pollen in the pollen sacs, which will contain moisture (to start anyway if they eventually dried in the jar). That might put a bit of a damper on the viability, but I'm not ruling anything out!
Thanks Emeraldo!Wow, great photos, Stunger! Maybe another month, what do you think?
Or are you thinking of trying the Gorilla auto as is, like right now?
Hmm, if your stash is gone you might as well start harvesting.
Probably 2 or 3 weeks for the auto - around end of March. But I am thinking mid April for the 2 Quad girls unless their development indicates otherwise.So it seems you'll harvest in 2 or 3 weeks. Looks like a plentiful harvest! Let's hope for breezes!
Of course it did...everyone loves the smell of toast .holding it above the toaster, it had a nice fragrance
Usually planning forward we go on past experience. These girls are the daughters of last season's grow, and they are growing in the same pots and same soil that was re-amended. Last year from 2 of them I got about 4oz, at the beginning of this season I was hoping for more if possible, but at this point in flowering the apparent increase in yield is substantially more than I was expecting. For my neighbors, I turned around the reclaimed capsicum plant that has 4 capsicums at the top so they are now showing prominently thru the balcony corner gap in the vague hope if they look up they'll see the vegetable and assume I'm growing some other smelly vegetables. Still, there is not much more that can be done so I'll just have to ride that wave out and hope whatever they notice remains unrecognizable. I am hoping their grandson doesn't visit too much in the coming month as he looks a bit of a dodgy fecker, like he probably smokes pot on the university campus when he should be studying! And if so, he may recognize the smell, but I can't change that, so I can only hope he's got a heavy cold when he next visits them.Nice choices on the popcorn! Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
Plants are looking terrific, and I'm sure there is no question that you are growing up there no matter which way the air is moving . That is not a stealthy grow! I have a tiny flowering plant in a 32 ounce cup that smells up my whole backyard when it's outside.
Hi DD, yeah they are coming along well, thanks. If I wanted to go early, I could harvest anytime now really, but I intend to hold off for a few weeks more as long as I can keep them happy and developing further.I’ve found a piece of tin foil on a light bulb good for a quick dry.
The trichs on her look to be ripening nicely!

Cheers Emeraldo, That's alright Shed, what you can't change you might as laugh about it, it's better than crying!Well Shed, imho it is as stealthy as was possible. Heck, those turds down below the balcony only hang out and talk when they are leaving the general apartment area, getting into their cars and driving off. Party party party. And they never said a thing! So that's a sign of stealth. If it wasn't a stealth grow, we'd a knowed it by now... right?
Where I've heard it, "toast" means the jig is up. Wow, you really know how to scare a guy!
Stunger don't listen to this guy.
...Rather than try spraying those scale mealybugs at this stage, I would take a physical approach and use a scrubby sponge to gently dislodge them from the stems. Then treat the ant problem. If they're living in the pots it's harder to deal with them, but if the colony is somewhere else you can surround the pots with a thin line of food grade diatomaceous earth or boric acid (both available in hardware stores here). If they're living in the pots, I use this, and I'm sure you can find something equivalent in NZ.
