Extracting Pollin From A Male

Unfortunatly the plant suffered a bit of stress from when A friend came over and I couldn't open the cab up to let some cool air in. cuz he was sleeping on the couch in the same room. It seems to be recovering now. It has started to regrow white hairs and such.

My question is should I be able to see the pods opening up with the seeds in them. I can see one POD totally open with a seed in it and its dark brown. This seed a few weeks ago was neon Green.

All the PODS are starting to open up it seems. should I wait untill most of the pods totally open up and I can see the seeds? Or do the POds never fully open up? Its going on about 7 weeks now.

I can only see two fully openeed Pods one has a dark brown seed in it and the other has a neon green seed.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Wait until more of the seeds turn brown. That's when they are totally ripe.

Thanks Stinky,,,

I am impatiently waiting by the mail box. hehehehehe

Well today i chopped a small top off my plant and was rewarded.

3 days ago i started to notice dark seeds poking out of the plant. I grabbed tweezers and pulled 5 seeds out I was so happy. I germinated one and it has sprouted. Tonight I chopped the small top off and pulled about 30 to 40 brown seeds out and 10 green ones that didn't look good. I also found some deformed seeds. There are still so many more seeds that need to ripen.

This plant has taken some abuse I honestly didn't have any idea if it would pull through this harsh treatment :stoned: . This is a first for me. Thanks for all the help everyone.

This process well worth the learning experiment.

Thanks GF As I get more Ill be sending some around. hit me up with an email If you wanna trade or try some.

now you need to remove all traces of pollen from your grow area - if you are not very clean, then the pollen in the air and on dusty surfaces will pollenate every one of your future crops.

Thanks for the Tips. This plant still has a lot of seeds that need to ripen though. So I wont be cleaning just yet. another week or so then ill be wiping it down well.

Thanks for the info though. can never bee too safe. I actully saved a couple branches form the Male and left it in a ziplock in the freezer, When i get some more females im gonna try and see if the pollin will reactivate once thawed. and I will try to pollinate a branch or two of a different strain. ill post the results if it works.

Thanks all again..

Green frog you gotz and email?

Hey mods,
Would someone mind removing my contact info from post#8?
I just received an unsolicited email from someone who I suspect might be one of those psycho Turkish seed knockoff scam artists.
That sucks, it's the first one EVER, and in general I would not have minded for our upstanding members here to have been able to contact me.

Done........

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

usually you can see a reddish area where the seeds have pollinated the bud, it only takes a spek of pollen to pollinate.

Seeds don't pollinate a bud, pollen does. Whaaaat?

Miss you Stinky....

I haven't been around much,, that suks about the Seed Scammer...

did you see my lowryder... pretty neat but kinda a waste of space... My conclusion on the strain is,, It aint worth it unless you have no space at all....

kd

Yeah KD, I saw it. I love your patio garden. I think in your case the Lowryder was a great idea to deal with light pollution.
I miss you too! Gimme a sec, let me shoot ya an email. It has been a very bittersweet morning here.

this lowryder wasn't on the balcony.. I just posed it last night.....but regardless... it dont matta... the Papya Mom looks awsome now too..

yeah send me an email... I have some newer balcony picts for you. Ill load them up tonight... with some other stuff,,,, If not tonight then on the weekend forsure,

Sorry to hear about you crummy morrning...

i have a quick qustion if you pollinate seeds dont it make it a higher risk of getting males?

why wouldnt you just do clones of them female and have as many females as you want and have a non stop suply of plants all year long?

someone please update my knowledge if you dont mind

Females produce the seeds that are either female or male. Seeds you can store but clones you have to keep growing. And I know that seeds dont pollonate, lack of edit button sucks....

Yes. That is correct.
If you pollinate a female to get seeds, you will get offspring a littel under 50% male.
If you don't pollinate, you get no offspring, therefore you get 0 males.
Hence, the higher risk.
:D

Dude... time for some basic Biology, eh?

was wondering did you ever get a chance to check and see if the stored pollen worked? if so, how did the seed turn out

I still have the pollin. I have yet to have a serious use for it yet. It seems fine in my freezer.

Its all wrapped in a bag etc. Once I find another good strain to cross and get the space and time to do so I will try.

and it will definitly be posted.
