Making Seeds

THIS IS A NEWBIE QUESTION

lets say if i grow to plants
one happend to be a male other a female
and the female is 2 weeks in to budding
lets say i cut a sac from the male and squeeze the pollen over ONE part of the female like
one ball of bud one of those small colas at the bottom will that ONE bud have seeds when i harvest?

Most likely not when the male pollen sacks are busted pollen tend to fly every where so the likely hood of getting seeds from one bud are very low.

Yes, Only the area your pollinate will seed. Pick a stem, mark it, and pollinate each bud site you want to have seeds on. Best way to do this is with a q-tip. Pop off a few sacks of pollen and put them in a bowl or cup. Shake it around to get the pollen out of the sacks. With the q-tip, rub it into the pollen until it has a fair amount. TURN OFF ALL YOUR FANS so no air is blowing around. Then apply the pollin that is on the q-tip to each bud site you want seeded.

Now if you have one stem with 10 bud sites you must pollinate each to get all 10 to seed. If you only do 5 out of 10 only 5 out of 10 on that stem will have seed on that one branch. Unless a piece of pollen blew over to the next site.

You can give your fem a light spray of clean water over all the pistils other than the ones you want to seed so if pollen does land on them the water will keep the pollen from entering the pistole.

Keep in mind that pollen can move in the air super easy and it is soooooo easy to over pollinate. You can move your male out of the flower room and stress it to make it pollinate. If your male has open sacks with pollen on it now and you have it with your female you can pretty much guarantee your whole fem plant has been seeded already.

k what do you think about ziplock back over the polinated bud and zip the bag so no air is transered
because im living with my parents and i have 4 seeds >.<
and i know most of them are gonna fail and i need more seeds instead of buying nicks and dimes and trying to find some seed,
and one more question
lets say if i have a FULL female no Hermie
and i grow and its successful bud etc,
will the bud have little seeds in them no like alot but like 3 seeds?

Rune,

If seeds are what you need I would do this, let your male seed your fem.

You will get LOTS of good seed that will last some time.

You will also get smokable bud out of your female even when seeded.

I would focus this run more on quality seeds than bud.

When you crop and it is dried and cured break up all the bud to get your seeds. Germ some, Smoke your buds, and get ready for your 2nd crop.

You can cover a stem on your fem after pollinating it but it has a hard time breathing and is an easy way to get bud mold.

The pollen is only on the pistil hairs for a while then it gets pulled into the stigmatic where the seed will form. With that said you could cover the stem for just the first few days so your pollen does not spread.

thank's dude i thought that if it got pollinated that there would be NO smokable bud
how much bud do yu think i can get from a pollinated plant 2 hand fulls?

It depends very much on how you grow it, conditions, nutes, amount of veg time. you can not just say a given yield. But i dont think you will need a full plant of seeds. I would reccomend the q tip method or a paintbrush to paint it on 2 or 3 of the lower branches, to do this all you have to do is put the male seperate from the female and induce flower( a window will have enough light for the male), place paper at the base of ur plant and the pollen will collect here, and pull your female out of the room(no Fans) and paint what you want. wait a few minutes (the pollen is actually used the second it lands on the pistal) and rince the whole plant with water to make the pollen sterile, the buds are already polinated. and place back in your room.You would want to do the polinating process at the 3rd or 4th week of flower for indicas and 4th or 5th for sativas. its true u will still get bud with seeds but alot of energy is spent on makin seeds and not buds, I have a fully seeded plant right now and it is significantly lower yielding...

I agree with Trazzer, It will depend on many conditions including the plants size and strain. If you only seed 1 or 2 stems the rest will be all bud but the quality of high is diminished due to the energy the plant used to make your seeds. But if you need seeds than that is a must choice. You will still get good smokable bud that will get you feelin it. Just not the full potential of the strain. If you are budding a 12 inch vegged plant you should get around 1 0z of dry bud give or take depending on the situation at hand.

I don't get or agree with rinsing the plant to sterilize stray pollen. If this happened, no plants could ever propogate naturally because every time it rained the pollen would become sterilized. Very good advice overall, but I heartily disagree with this part.

Water makes the pollen non-active on contact. So how could you say that?

Yeah, in nature it rains, but not all the time. It only takes like 24hrs for the pollen to be impregnated into the stigmatic. After that, rain or not that bitch is seeded. I have seen the proof in the pudding on this one and have to stick to my guns.

One to his own I guess.

What ^he^ said haha. water does indeed make it infertile. I have both read this fact in my botany coarse and seen it..

this is all very good info thanks

SLK,

we are here to help with what we know. Thats what makes it great.

Send out some +Rep points for the people who helped in this thread bro and keep us uptated!
