Hey I was wondering if it is to early to pollinate. I pollinated one on 6/19 and I was wondering if it was too soon. Any help would be great! Thanks. ~Ryan

rule of thumb is july 1-10.........there are some early ones, and some later ones. just watch and wait, if nothing better comes along then okay, but if something better comes along great. the longest wait is when a fruit stops growing, and you have 3 weeks left till the weighoff, its pure tourture.
good luck

Hi fellow growers. Could you please answer a question. I had a female open up around 9:00 am today, and was still open at about 6:oo pm. A male had just opened at this time so I pollinated. Do you think it will work after all the time that went by? Thanks for answering my questions.

Yeha I think it will still work. I don't see the reason why it wouldn't. But This is only my second year growing so I could be wrong.
