Indoor 1989.5 Daletas ’17 dmg: Pollen Transferred

About three male flowers were used. While one has more than enough pollen a little extra will not hurt anything and this can only improve the odds of a successful pollination. When the pumpkin is an “ideal spot” anyway to increase the odds of pollination are welcomed. Keep in-mind that while pollinating the lower portions should be targeted first as this is the area closest to the nectar and when bees are in flowers this is where they are found.
