My giants are now 2-3' tall and well into their second truss, or cluster of blossoms.
The majority of my plants have a megabloom. Here's a nice one. Note how much pollen there is in the bowl. The blossoms were really giving it up today when I buzzed them.
Here's the previous megabloom, post-emasculation and dusted with pollen. I tried using a Q-tip because I had pollen to waste, and I thought the soft cotton might get more pollen into uneven pistils.
If the definition of a megabloom is 10 or more sepals, then I have 2 megablooms on the same truss! I think this is a Big Zac.
The mega in back is the better of the two.
Here's the best mega of the bunch. I couldn't get a good frontal shot, so the posterior view will have to do. I love that thick fused stem. Thanks for bringing in the scale, Ted. I'm going to need it to weigh this brute.
Looking real nice. My Big Zac's are pretty heat stressed at the moment so the break from crazy high temps over the next week will be a welcome one.
