Noob needs help

Hello. this is how my tent is looking rn !!

Both plants in the back have been reversed with STS spray from CeresUK and are ~6 weeks old.

Gorilla Z Auto took 5 sprays to turn male

and the gorilla cookies auto took 6 sprays to turn.

But I can not figure out if the gc is completely male now as there grew bigger bud structures already.
But all buds seem to contain pollen pods as well... What do you think? I ran out of sts so I couldn't treat it more than six times.


The small plants in the front are gorilla cookies auto too, but those shall remain female to produce seeds. Unfortunately these have been quite slow. they only moved into the tent after sts treatment was done altogether

1. Should I harvest the pollen of the Gorilla Z soon or let it ripen more weeks?
2. Will the pollen of the GC Auto turn out good despite all that bud growth?

@WildBill ...is it you that has used STS before...?......I haven't..

Technically, they're still female plants and they produce female pollen.
You got a very good reversal with the Gorilla Z. As long as you haven't sprayed or the humidity is not overly high, you can wait a little longer if you want to collect more pollen Or you can collect it now, either way.

The other girl looks like she's just gonna be a S1 seed maker. You can attempt to collect some pollen from her. If you have some large pot trays with smooth slick bottom, Just take the plant and turn it on its side and then tap the main stem or take a bamboo stick and lighly beat the plant.

You can use the same technique to collect the pollen from the Gorilla Z, just be aware that it will fly around quite a bit. Just make sure you're all your fans are turned off.

I don't know what your original intention was, but you're gonna have all sorts of cross pollenization. And that's perfectly fine if you just want seeds to plant.

Just be aware that the Gorilla Z pollen you collect could be contaminated with the other girl.

GC Auto that you sprayed should have lots of S1 seeds. You should have some browning pistils already and swelling at those sites. If you see that and want those seeds, just let her run until she's ugly as hell! you can harvest when you see the seeds trying to pop out.

Depending on when you introduced the other GC Autos to the tent, you will probably still get pollenization, but they probally won't have time to mature properly. It will be detrimental to flower production, with the plant concentrating on maturing those seeds.
