Well, when I do my crosses I use a paint brush and dust the pollen on the pistols where I want the seeds for selective pollination. However I've done it the way your talking about, open air pollination as well. If you do happen to do open air pollination then the majority of your buds will be loaded with seeds. However the selective pollination can yield good also. I guess its just all in how many seeds your wanting/shooting to get..

Its gonna depend on which male I get....What you think of the SL and any male from those put in a space...
Ive only did a seed run 1 time and that was only a branch.Thinking of maybe doing that with different pollen from the males...
Looking for some input?

i used a q-tip and brushed the buds on 8 different female. took about a week of collecting pollen and hitting the buds with it. i hit them so hard that i got about 2000 beans from the small clones. what a pain to de-seed it all, but i have a lot of testers to try now.

I had pulled my male out and isolated it once it started being male :). The Cindy was flowering at the same time. Then about when the male started dropping a little pollen, the Cindy had started flowering. So I just took my Cindy out to the male plant and rubbed it all over it. It was a pain to de-seed the whole thing, but I did get a good amount of seeds. I need to go through them and weed out any of the rest that don't look great still. I had initially brushed some pollen with a qtip, but didn't feel like I had transfered that much so I decided to let them have an up close love fest :).

So Beech did I read that correct, are you turning your 10.5g of yum yum into an extract? I bet that will be delicious!

OH ya I'm with ya, then! Hehe it should be a good run once I'm done I started filtering the solution this morning, I should have the b grade evaping in the next couple hours.

Man I've really loved my C99. I wish I could have done a better job of saving the other pheno which I liked more, but the one I did keep is still dank, just grows more branchy which isn't ideal in my set up. This most recent batch turned out nice, lots of flavor.

The cross already exists!!! I speculate it will be tasty, but won't really know for a while. I'm not gonna have the space to run any of them right away. I'll save you trying to read back through, the male was a Sinmint Cookie that seemed to have a minty smell to the stem, and had grown real well to start with.

Hehe glad to have ya JD!! I'm about due for some pics so I'll try to get something together soon.

Hope everyones having a great day. I just got back from the glass shop, and got to spend a little time on the torch today :). Nothing special, just welded, and cut some rods for 15-20 minutes, but each one got a little better then the one before!

Ok just caught up on all this.

So far I have not actually blown any glass. Today was my first time on the torch. I just started on some basic welding skills. I imagine I'll be back over there later this week or the beginning of next, and will learn some more.

Looks like your work is coming along nicely worm! I'm still only dreaming about making a functional piece, but being able to weld today made me more confident that with some practice I'll be able to get it down. I've been close over the years to doing what you did and just getting the stuff and self teaching, but never pulled the trigger. Now that I've got this shop local I'm super excited. He's got all GTT torchs so I'm prolly gonna get spoiled, but that is what I kinda wanted to buy when I get a torch any way. I'm hoping to be part of some cool stuff, he recently got access to a CNC to make molds, and I've got access to graphite to make them out of :). I'll post some pics once I have something to show, I havn't even got burned yet.
