ok got three males pollenating like crazy, i pollenated a clone.
now i need to know how long the pollen needs to sit on the pistils until i can mist and put back in the flowerbox.
I DO NOT WANT TO CONTAMINATE THE REST OF MY CROP! please help!!
love, brooke
ps, i'm doing searches now.........
please?
bump...
I'm sorry, girl. I'd like to say I have a perfect answer, but I'm not an expert on the subject. I do have one suggestion, though. Here it is:
Put plastic baggies over the branches you have pollinated. Leave them there for a couple days. You can use clear baggies so they can still get light, but not get any wind blowing away the pollen. I'd say leave them like that for at least 1-3 days to make sure the plant grabs the pollen. Maybe open the baggies a little each day to give the bud some air.
That's my suggestion. :twocents:
Good lucky, Brooke. :D

Edit: Good idea coming to grab me in my thread. lol. ;) Don't forget to look at the updates. I'm in the process of updating them.
thanks fog, but its just too big to bag (think of a sog.) tall, one stem....
love, brooke
What do you mean too big? Never say never. I'd say that GK would probaby be able to help you more with that. Where is he? Kitchen trashbag? Cmon, get creative...
p.s. you pulled me off my thread updating...now just finally getting back. lol. ;) g'luck with that girl. Where the f is s..a...g...e...?

i'll think of something....
After a day or so, the hairs on the pollenated calyxes should fall off and the seed has taken. It might be a good idea to turn your fan off, and be careful not to shake them around to much.
you can mist them lightly, enough to wet the branches at the next on light cycle, and im sure you could probably even do it sooner just not sure of the minimum amount of time needed but 12 hours is long enough.
You can build a makeshift pollenation box out of a shelving unit...
Don't forget the ventilation.. granny-size pantyhose work well for that!
I think I may resent that granny sized remark there.....sonny (j/k)
wait a second here.. how many clones got pollenated? not just one clone??? They are not rooted clones are they????
I would dip them individually into a bucket of water... Upside down of course.. then i would run a fan over them.... when do you plan on flowering them?
i suspect they will be fine... very very few seeds...

ok guys, little background would be welcomed i gess. i have 5 bb's in the flower box. i have 4 of sage's clones in the flower box, and four bb clones in there too.
i took the healthiest clone from sage to hybrydize. i took it out of the box, downstairs, and into another room where i've been storing my males. i have three of them, and they are all dropping pollen.
want to stor the pollen bc, two of the males are bb, would give me a hybrid sage and more bbs, and i have one male trainwreck.
the clone that has been pollenated is in a sepparated room with only natural light. i'd like to get it back in the box without having to worry about pollenating the others.
stinky, that's ingenious.... going to have to make one....
so can i mist today, and put her back in the box?
love, brooke
ps all these clones are rooted. 5 moms in veg
total head count in the flowerbox...
5 bb's
1 sage
4 sage clones
5 bb clones.
pps, so i mist now?
and stinky, please stop by sometimes... i like your psts and experiments, and i'd love to pick your brain....

yes you can mist it now and put it back into the flower room.
the best way to have pollen available in the future is to always have a male plant so you may want to take a clone or clones of the males you wish to use, you cannot store it for long periods of time, even freezing it with desicant only helps keep it viable for a few more weeks.

Hey Brooke, you're growing SAGE? Mmmm my favorite smoke of all time!
hi stinky, she came from a bag, but very closely resembles sage:) hence the name... i hope she is as good as she looks:thumbsup:
love, brooke
is there already a sage x blueberry? if so what is it called...?
