I used to do this before I added a completely separate breeding grow environment separate from my production grows. Now I do only entire plants.Perhaps this is an odd/stupid question but in my mind I think it's a good idea. If I make female pollen off of 2 different strains, is it ok to do half a plant with each? I'd probably do like a 2 branch (manifold?) Set up to help keep separation of the strains.
Now I have to find a way to measure this stuff
1. Please show us picturesIn week 9 with a fem auto, and I have 2 questions
1- I didn't spray anywhere near the top cola, but pods have been forming for maybe 2 weeks, is it possible some of the lower sacks opened and self pollinated?
2- the lower pollen sacks are starting to open a couple at the time, should I just shake it on wax papper or clip them and open them to collect?
It's too hard via those pictures for me to identify what's happened to the cola. It does appear that it grew a couple of nanners.Best I can get at the momentView attachment 4540547View attachment 4540548

Sweet. I may play with that pollen some, but now I'm feeling some confidence that I can make it. Got a couple of strains coming that I definitely want to work with. I'll get better pics tomorrow when lights are on.It's too hard via those pictures for me to identify what's happened to the cola. It does appear that it grew a couple of nanners.
The lower branches though can definitely be cut off and moved to a different location, in water like I said. Throw a CFL into a box or closet, and that's all it needs. The sacks will open up mostly all on their own.
Looking good won't be long they will start opening up allow them to form and give a little shake to test see if you see dust pollen fly off then you know its ready to collect. I used a pollen collection tray you can find them on amazon or ebay set beside branches and smack them on it and all the pollen can then be collected and stored.Best I can get at the momentView attachment 4540547View attachment 4540548

No dont open it will be wet un usable wait till they open naturally. Wax paper will work to or a kief screen.In week 9 with a fem auto, and I have 2 questions
