RM's seed-making 'technique'

I wanted some good smokable herb as well as a few seeds for next round.

When I sex my 3 plants, the two huge healthy ones were male and the small one was female. Dang!

I pulled one of the males and chopped the other one all the way back to one set of leaves - just short of killing it.

The female tripled in size and the male tried valiantly to pollinate her. After he stretched up, I cut him back again so that only two sacks were evident.

End result? 3oz of nice smoke with about 60-80 seeds, yet the buds were not at all seedy. Now I am good to go for years.

Not an approach I'd personally take, but hopefully the stressed male didn't screw-up the seeds genetics.

Perhaps next time...let the male grow, collect some of the pollen in a baggie or tupperware type of container for drying, and storage in the fridge. (then remove the male from the grow room for disposal) When the female is ready, use a q-tip or small artists brush to gently 'paint' the pollen onto the pistils on the lower branches. :thumbsup:

That sounds suspiciously like 'work'. ;)

I only have a tiny grow area so can do very little.
