When to Apply Pollen
Quote from justicebzwiegandjlz832 on , 8:10 amPollinating too early or too late both cost you seeds. The sweet spot is roughly two to four weeks into flower, once the pistils are long and white but before they start turning orange, since older pistils are far less receptive. A day by day receptivity guide on https://breederregularseeds.com made me realize my usual week five dusting was leaving a lot of calyxes empty. Since moving it earlier the seed set has been noticeably fuller.
