Gutted today found 1 of my plants is forming balls, I was so sure it was a girl till now.
but hey having so much trouble with seed arriving I may as well put him to good use.
I read so many articles about techniques using bags or cups to trap the pollen.
I just want to ask if it can be done just to cut the balls off as they start to hang down and just pop then in a bag and dry them in the sun, or something.? seems easier to keep the pollen in their natural containers till needed.
I've never seen anything written about that, is that idea flawed?
I dont suppose anyone is going to reassure me that 1st signs of balls doesnt mean it will necessarily be a male. NO didnt think so.......
