Ok but can you honest tell me what I should expect from a total of maybe 20 pollen sacks opening ? Conditions are- is hasn’t been windy , it’s been rainy and humid , and I haven’t found any pollen on the leaves , just a few things that look like a old opened banana. When I forcefully open the balls and the plants they were almost all to premature to have pollen , and the rare group that had pollen had white moist pollen inside
Didn’t see any balls with yellow pollen witch I assume is mature pollen , and over 70 percent of my plants don’t have buds yet , and the ones that do have buds are super small
pollen is like covid- its everywhere. You want to apply it via a bruch on a small set of budsites if you dont want a fully pollenated plant. you can even use a baggy over it for a day or 3
Yea I’m obviously dumb for that . Check every week but should be more like every day clearly . Didn’t realize they can open there first sack within two weeks of making it , thought I had more like 4 weeks 
It’s only takes a microscopic amount to pollinate. 20 sacks is a lot. I’d expect everything within 5 ft of it seeded. And more than a few seeds.
You thc will be way lower in them plants as the plant uses it’s Trichome production for seed production.
It’s not gonna be fun cropping them plants

Must have missed them showing balls last week
Lol dude I don’t want pollen that’s the point
im saying if you were to try and do closet breeding youd have to really isolate the way the pollen is applied or you just get fully seeded buds.

So that post I made is wrong ? I’m aware quality will suffer that’s the whole issue .
its gonna be seeded and nobody likes that except smart people who grow th seeds.
What post? U just open pollinated your crop. Other flying insects move pollen to other parts of your garden.

Well judging by the fact no pollen was visible on the plants ( rain must have washed it off cause there was no wind ) and the majority of my plants being super early in flower ( just showing pistons or very tiny buds) I’m gonna hope i just produced 20 or so seeds in a plant . Gonna try to wash off the plants in the immediate area as well . I know you guys are really concerned and everything but don’t worry , I think I’ll be fine
That’s probably even worse as it means it was probably moved throughout your garden already.
Your not gonna have a great October

The post that’s is quotations that I pulled off thc farmer
time to start a seedbank
I think I’m gonna be good . Every were else I’m reading says it has to do with amount of pollen , the maturity of the buds , wind , and rain . I was pretty lucky on all these factors so it looks like the majority of my plants will still be seeds free. The ones in the immediate area are likely to have a few but since they are so immature they won’t have to much to really effect quality . That’s for the help tho !

I don’t know. I’ve don’t quite a bit of pollination.
Hope your good

No just was time to use a couple different forums 
18 days into flower is when to make the most and most vigourous seeds.males put pollen early so at 18 the females are just accepting all of that. my contacts are fucked again= thats my excuse when i spel bad other than my shaky hand that repeats letters next to what i meant.
