oh happy day. I just found out my last plant is a girl tonight. So I've got 2 guys and 2 gals now. All have been accounted for, so on to the next issue!
So I'm pretty sure I have 2 strains on my hands. It's bag seed, and when I got it, it was separated already into two bags. One was pretty amazing stuff, the other, just so so. Sadly, I just threw all the seeds in a bag then a few months later decided to grow it, so I have no idea whats what anymore. Whats kinda cool though is after the plants matured I can totally tell the difference in the plants. Whats even better is the sexes are split even.
Now, I want to breed the plants to get seed off the first generation of plants (I don't have a supply of seed, plus, I'm prone to fuck ups). But I want to keep the strains totally separate. I've got the two males under a 125 Watt CFL now and they seem happy. Their pollen sacks are filling very nicely. The females are in the flowering box. I know I can kill the males and store the pollen, but when and how do I do this? Is there a good sign as to when the pollen is "ripe"? How do I store it etc...
The females I could probably just douse with pollen in a different room. Is there anyway I can "stick" the pollen to a plant (misting it after wards maybe?) so it wont cross pollinate? At what point in the flowering stage do I pollinate them?
Arg, too many questions!
