My 1209 Hoffman as of 7-21-13...last seed to pollinate, started very slowly and did not thrive, so decided to let it go on its own and perhaps end up with a few good Halloween carvers. As Mon. morning, I saw the first 2 females....it took that long to devlop them. Checked out the lobes, and on one it was deformed and looked to have a growth of some sort on it. The other one looked odd, lobes not compacted, but spread out. I then checked out the males and found no pollen what-so-ever. This was about noon. I assumed this was a sterile plant, given its growth pattern and its overall abnormal development. Then I read in forum that bees can deplete pollen by late in morning. Hmmmm. Interesting. Maybe the bees came & went, giving me a shot at those Halloween guys!!!! We shall see.
