wow man i’d love to get ahold of some of those beans. that’s a beauty of a lower branch.

Shoot me a dm. I'll give you the breeders info. They're cheap. From him. If you're on IG.

That's my problem I have about 120 1gal pots of dirt. If it wasnt loaded with perlite I would jus smash it and throw it in the woods. But over half is perlite. All still in the shape of the pots of course. Plus idk how many 3, 4, and 5gal mounds of dirt as well. I'm running out of room. Gonna have to bag them up and take them to a dumpster somewhere. Very soon. Or my garden has to cease. But I gotta do everything at night. Neighbors aren't a problem it's coming in n out of my property with 50 gallon bags over n over n over. I can get about 20 in one bag. And then they weigh 100lbs it seems like. Lol

You cant donate it? I am sure someone will take it.

Cant donate it where im at man. That would be extremely risky. Hauling around that many pots of dirt to give someone. All it would take would be a single branch or leaf that i missed. I'd prefer jus to pitch it. I'd like to reuse it. But it's just not ideal for me. As I dont have the room to bust it up to De-root it. Bc I use promix bx that's pretty much just plain dirt. No nutes. I feed from day one. So reusing it wouldnt hurt. Other than area to work with it, to clean it up.

I use to have that same problem, disposing of media, empty jugs of nutrient, old lights, etc back in the old days, when I was a renter.
I'd look hard towards hydro if disposal was an issue
Nowadays, I'd just throw any old soil in my vegetable garden. It seems our silty soil can always use a bit more organic matter, it just gobbles it up, lol.

Cut her at 58 days. Early this morning. Shes about 15-20% amber. And the rest are cloudy. Only seen a few clear here and there. Shes the loudest, strongest smelling as well as the best gg4 cross I've found. The gg4 mother was gifted str8 from josey himself. And then it was reversed and hit a very pineapple smelling jamaican pineapple landrace female. I would put this up against any gg4 cross out there right now. Soon as it dries and hit 1 month cure. I'm gonna send it to get tested. I know shes gotta be close to 30%

I have both a flower garden and veggie garden. Plus several trees weve planted over the last 30 months. But I mix such high perlite count per pot. 2 solo cups per 1 solo cup of promix. It's just way too much perlite for either garden at my home. And I've run hydro a few times. Jus didnt care for it. Better yield, and seemed to have more frost. But it just didnt compare to soil grown taste. Atleast for me anyway. And I jus dont have the time to mess with hydro daily. My kids take alot of my time. 6 year old boy and 3 year old little girl. Which both are attached at my hip. My ol lady works outta town 3 days a week. So I have them when shes gone. Plus school work, home work, dinner, baths, Its jus not doable for me with hydro.

These pics do her no justice. I'll get some with the macro lens shes super frosty.

Don't know if it'll work for you but maybe use a compost hook to break it up in the pot before dumping? Stabilizing the pots sit maybe some 1/2 in rebar shoved in the drain holes, then use compost sieve to clean up? Lots of work for sure.

I jus dont wanna dump it bc of all the perlite. It wont break down and its biodegradable. I average about 6 cups of perlite per 1gal pot. So it's a bunch of perlite. Didnt want to throw it in the woods.

I was thinking you'd reuse the perilite or at least whatever was more easily recovered.

 

[GreenHighlander]

Grow them in isolation, with filters n precautions & collect pollen and label.
Put the pollen on the selected female.

Thanks,that is what I was wondering. Would each male need its own contained unit? Is it best to flower out each one on its own, collect, store?
Like I said I am a total noob when it comes to anything other then chopping anything that shows male flowers lol
Cheers

What I’ve been doing, is once sex is shown
They go into a male tent, once I’m happy with flower growth, I chop branches, n wash them to remove all pollen n put in water on a 45 angle, so the flowers are hanging . I built a crude box with a led light on 12:12. I have a collection plate in there , once the flowers open, toss the branches , clean n dry pollen, then store.

Be very careful, just because you don’t see pollen don’t mean your not covered in it.

I find it rewarding, and has breathed new life into my growing passion.

I've had several plants have a few seeds here n there bc of stray pollen. It sticks every where. It's best to wash hands arms. Change clothes before messing with a female only section/tent.

 

[SCJedi]

Is there a general consensus on the best way to collect pollen?

I think this is going to be a 'to each their own' answer for the most part. I usually pull the male i want pollen from early just as the first pods start opening and sit him in some water in a bag drooping over my collection surface (which is a glossy square tray of metal) this produces plenty for a chuck and some for later, they 'live' for at least a week like this I've had one like this for 2 weeks now and its still dropping.

hahaha i dealt with this same problem forever. that’s why i started recycling it. if you let it dry it’s easy to pull the bag off, hold the “stump”, and shake the dirt into a container. then i mix up some sledgehammer in 5 gallon bucks, then spray away with a house, after all that i let it dry and reuse.
