Pollinating a single branch

[KHAN]

Hey all

I've got a Chronic clone that's about 3 weeks away from harvest, is it too late to pollinate a single branch with some NYC diesel pollen i've got?

I've got some small NYC fem's which are 2 weeks into flowering, in another 2 weeks i'll take 1 and put it with my males, how long do the seeds take to mature btw?

Many thanks!

Q-tip=tiny disposable pollen applicator- basically, the less pollen you use the better. a lil dabll dooya. or so they say

for what it's worth, the recent seed-breeding I did, was prolonged to a month, and the seeds looked barely mature ... (perhaps it's just my strain, but it's worth noting) ... :smokin:

Havn't done it yet, was seeing what advice I got first Dont have a paintbrush lol but I assumed it would go everywhere trying to dab it on?

Sorry, didn't ask for advice on putting the pollen on, just whether it was too late to do it on my chronic and how long the seeds take to mature

You can do it. With pollen, less is more. Use a small paint brush.
Allow 3 weeks to ripen. Seeds DO continue to ripen slightly after harvest, but you need at least 2- 2 1/2 weeks on the plant.

That method will get pollen everywhere.
I'm so glad I gave you some advice that you are ignoring.
I'll just STFU now.

Thanks for the good reply's peeps! I'm going to put some pollen (quarter gram?) in a zip bag and put the bag over the branch for a couple of hours and give it some shaking, are the chances low then of pollen getting onto the other branches? Dont want a whole plant full of seeds lol

Is it best to do it dark/light time btw?
