Pollination Day FEMALE update w/photos and height
So here we have the girls! They aer getting so big, aren't they? it's a special day for them today. Today.... we POLLINATE!
First i did a slight defoliation, and opened them up a little more, by tying them to bamboo poles spaced around the pot.
Here is the height and overhead view of the one on the LEFT. First, in INCHES:
and they haven't stopped yet! I'll post the final height next to the yard stick when I harvest, but i thought you would all like to see about how big they are now.
I forgot to photo inches of the shorter one, but it's only a few centimeters difference, you can barely tell. The real difference is in the leaves, and structure, the shorter one has wider, shorter fingers, while the taller one has narrower, long leaves. but then again THATS not really much of a difference. I dont even know if anyone but me can really even tell. Can you?
........
they got their bloom boosters, their Prime, and a heavy silica/trinity/elemental feed, just before i did this. I've also been treating the entire room with Green Cleaner, just as a preventative. That will stop for the next week or so.
Anyone ever had to treat a pollinated plant? just curious, but I wonder how close to the actual pollination date you can start spraying them again. They are in no danger, I use it as a preventative treatment, but i still don't like leaving something out of my routine.
This was NOT an easy photo to take:
