i have a female ready to bloom either tomorrow or the day after and no males at the same stage ready to pollinate with. Is there anything i can do other than see if the bees can find pollen from a neighbor. If i apply a double dose of Bloom booster (miracle grow 10-52-somthing) right now will it help speed up the male development? thanks

Don't know if you'll see results in 24 hours or so.

thanks chuck, but no need, lol. 2 problems, im 15, (cant drive) but i do have a bike, heh.

also the specific plant that is blooming happens to be a connecticut field variety, which on a earlier post i was told cannot be crossed with AG's

thanks a lot though
