Ok....I am growing on about 400 sq foot and I am getting my first female flowers. I have probly another 7-9 ft of patch left. the plant is about 15-16 foot long now and secondaries are growing nice. My main is growing over a foot a day.....should I wait a few more feet and polinate a week late or polinate now? or just polinate all of them?

Pollinate them all and cull later...you should get 3 shots to pollinate in that amount of room. Mark

Milford's right, always pollinate everything and cull later. You never know with these plants what will take and what won't. Better safe than sorry.
