So, I took ileso's advice and decided to attemp that pollen catching adventure. So I got out a light, drilled a hole three plastic plates, cut a slit to slide the top into the hole, labeled, filled a medium size cup with water/superthrive, placed the pot top in plate, then that into the water, set timer for 11 hours light. Thinking of a way to keep the pollen from mixing...thinking sections of a 2-liter?

My possible females were not responding to the feeding. I suspect it had out grew its pot. Noticing the male's roots was coming out of the bottom of the pot.Transplanted/heavly watered, Spread her out with some bag ties with little holes drilled the top of pot, set in front of side mounted aquarium light.

Got to thinking this would be a neat little experiment. It would take months to bring three diff male types on one female type. But to see what changes occur would be interesting to see unfold.

Peace
