Morning Mossy, Like a rose in a vase, totally a better way lol a friend did mention that to me, but i left him out way too long. That sounds a much safeer way to paint on the polen in case some go astray in the breezeYou know @smokeyfromau ...if you see the males start dropping their balls...you can actually cut the whole plant...or the flower bracts off...stand them in a glass of water...like any other cut flower.....and they will Finish the job nature intended.......they'll flower and drop pollen.....
Much Safer than leaving them in the grow room....
Also....if you just want to pollenate just a branch or two........stick a bag over the whole Female plant...down to the pot.
Pull a bud or two through the bag.....pollenate.....wait 8 hours.....wet the buds......dowse the bag..then remove it....
Not 100%...but more reliable than most forms of contraception......
Didn’t it launch from Kennedy?There are some things one wishes they never saw.
1986 found me living on the beach 20 miles south of the space center where I found a piece of Challenger washed up. The size and shape of an old auto generator, it was light as a feather and clean and shiny as if new. 2 tiny capillary rubber hoses extruded, and knowing some of the dangerous fluids used, I turned it over to the sheriff's department as posted signs requested. They said that I would get it back if it wasn't from the explosion. I never did.
