When should I pollinate my female?
You are here: Home » Grow FAQ » Breeding » Pollination » When should I pollinate my female?
The way to decide when to pollinate the female is by counting BACK from the end of her flowering period 4 weeks...this allows the seeds enough time to mature before harvest. The seeds should be allowed to dry in the buds after harvest, as they do continue to mature during the drying process.
