lol I'm in Canada too but needing heat for my grow was never an issue. It's in a crawlspace.Lol, yeah our winters here suck for supplies, not a lot of indoor gardeners other than us illegal or medical MJ gardeners. The heat can certainly be an issue, although a basement grow (pretty well every house has a basement) is usually fine since the furnace is typically in the basement. For my flower room I tried one of those space heaters at first, once I got the first hydro bill I tied into my HVAC and ran a new vent into the room, added an inline fan with variable controller and voila, free heat

Yeah mine's a cold cellar, also acts as a bomb shelter - lol 9" thick poured concrete walls/floor/ceiling. Native temps in mid winter were in the 40's before I put the sub-floor and insulation in. Still need a bit of heat but for the most part I'll run the incoming air at the lowest through winter. With the COBs running right now it's down to 77-79, this in between period's a bitch with the CMH but the COBs are perfect. Once it cools off permanently I can run the CMH again... or maybe some more COBslol I'm in Canada too but needing heat for my grow was never an issue. It's in a crawlspace.
I've been eyeing my garage, could build a nice little 6 x 8' in there, you're giving me ideas - lolMy basement has the best environement for me, just low ass hobbit ceilings, great spot for veg and moms, but only 6' of clearance with the duct work down there.
Garage is detached, 15' ceiling, 16'X 20'....no damn heat or air...(put air in over the summer) need a good heat source for that space though and im tapped till spring now.....sigh....
Nice. I dig bomb shelters.Yeah mine's a cold cellar, also acts as a bomb shelter - lol 9" thick poured concrete walls/floor/ceiling.

Did one of those DIY kits from ProLab's when I first moved in and the place was empty. Not a bad idea to run them once in a while but this area seems fine.Nice. I dig bomb shelters.
Please tell me you've done a radon test?
ime the best time to pollinate the female is somewhere between 18-21 days after the flip, depending of course on your environment and how quickly the buds mature. Usually by that time the buds are developed enough to take the pollen well and you'll have 4-6 weeks to let them develop nice chunky seeds. You can certainly pollinate further in but how well the seeds mature may depend on the finishing time of the female that you hit. So if you have a female that takes 9-10 weeks to finish, hitting it around 4 weeks should still give plenty of time to get the seeds fully matured.In your experience how late I to flower can you pollenInate your girls still getting mature seeds
Say I feminized a branch on a plant with collidal silver to get fem seed. Could I use that pollen to pollenInate the same plant or others in the grow and have mature seeds
How long before male pollen can be harvested. Sorry to ask on your thread. Nice chunky boys you got
I prefer to do them at 3 weeks to get big/mature seeds but if you put them to flower in the same tent, they get in synch and mature just in time to get some action. Last time I ran a mix like that the male grew taller and draped over the females... slut that he is that Blue Ripper maleHmmmm. Males are ready at four weeks, and females are best pollinated at four weeks.
Coincidence?
Lol
Nice work!
Hey that's a good idea if it fits into the schedule better. I'll usually just do some branches as well, typically I'll have the pollen available prior to needing it so just chuck around 3 weeks but leaving them longer is great option if you miss the ideal windows for pollinating. Lol, have thought of mixing up pollen but I'd never be able to replicate it so stick to a single strain/pollen. Would be fun though to see what pops out of the Mutt'sI generally just pollinate a lower branch or two so can even do it later in flowering then harvest all the plant but the branches I pollinated and let them keep going until the seeds are ripe.
I've used four different strains of pollen on one plant before just for fun and it worked out ok.
Mixing pollen is a trainwreck, don't be tempted. Instead, pollinate a given mom with several males by hitting a different limb with each, cover with baggies and label them. Same effect, and this way it's documented.Hey that's a good idea if it fits into the schedule better.

Exactly why I wouldn't do it. I have done multiple branches with different pollen as you mention though. The good idea I thought was letting the pollinated branches go longer if needed, like if you didn't hit the buds with pollen early enough. Although by the time harvest comes around I'm always too anxious/impatient to get the next round going so I doubt it would work for me!Mixing pollen is a trainwreck, don't be tempted.

The pollen goes in the baggie before it slips over the limb, give it a few taps to distribute once it's in place. Leave the bag for only a few days, not tightly tied on.Exactly why I wouldn't do it.

Mixing pollen though not so good, other than strictly for fun/suspense, can't be controlled or replicated as you mentioned.
