i am new to growing(about 3 months in) and definately new to breeding seeds. ALL SUGGESTIONS AND COMMENTS are welcome! I have a veg cab with T5 flour tubes. for breeding i built a smaller and completely sealed box with a 2' t5 tubes and inside painted white. i sealed every crack and built it to last. i will post pictures tomorrow.
i am on day 23.
i ordered 5 auto hindu kush regular seeds from Lowlife, all 5 germed and sprouted.
i have 2 females def so far and one male that i put in a closet for now til my box is finished. I plan on taking at least one, 2 if i get 3 total, and pollinating them with the male i already have or one of the remaining ones that i hope turns male, its growing the best.
i have questions on pollinating.....
1. what is the best method? shaking male over females or collecting pollen and painting the buds??
2. what is the best time to pollinate the female? ive read the seeds need min 5 weeks to mature.
i guess for this i would have to trial and error first until i figure out the flowering period huh? im going to guess about 2 weeks from when the first white hairs popped.....
3. how long is the male plant good for? i have some other strains i might want to mix with the very fast flowering hindu kush.
4. when can i put the pollinated female back into my regular grow cab?
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED.....
Thanks...
