I'm back again with another run at seeding the ganja. After talking to a couple of fellow RIU folks I think I now know what I am doing here. I would like to thank FDD and especially Kochab for his suggested technique for pollen collection. I changed it up a bit, and instead of using a newspaper I went with a glass jar. I cut off a couple of clusters of flowers that appeared to be ready to open. I cut off about 3 inches of stem along with each cluster and placed them in the jar yesterday. Today I checked the jar and there was a layer of pollen on the bottom.
I pulled out most of the plant material before taking this pic:
I brought in the two plants I am trying to seed and gathered the required tools to get this done. I didn't have a paintbrush handy so I tried a couple of methods:
The first method I tried was putting on a vinyl glove, and covering the tip of my finger with pollen:
I just touched my fingertip to the selected budsites. But I didn't feel this was the way to go, so I went for my trusty Q-tip.
I gathered up pollen on the Q-tip, and placed it over the budsites and tapped with my index finger, as if I was trying to ash a joint. This allowed the pollen to come off in a thin cloud and cover the hairs:
I have a feeling this seeding will take. Just in case, I will use the remaining pollen in the jar to repeat this one more time tomorrow. I love learning and trying new things. This concludes today's update. Tomorrow we have new plant pics coming.
