Greg,
Don't feel bad. I pollinated my 991 Hunt and was checking it every 4 hrs.
It seems like eternity, my first one pollinated does not seem like it is
growing fast. I hope it decides to kick-in. However I have another
ready to open in about a week that is farther down the main vine. I will
pollinate this one and immediately go to church and light a candle.
I have a Vader 793.5 . The leaves and vine are enormous. Slow growing
vine 'yellow/green streak'. I see a female starting to form on this plant.
The biggest leaves I have ever seen.
Then I have my Calai 846 that is growing like it is going to a fire. No
females yet, but this is a strong vine. The main vine tip grows head-up;
loves to tip-up the drop like a wrecking ball. This could be the lucky one
if I ever see a female.
