question concerning pollination

[temujin8]

ok so i have a nice female plant that is ready for harvest basically now, but i want seeds from her . About a month ago i started another plant outside from some bag seed from some decent green i had that day and it germinated grew it is not very big at all and it doesn't really matter since its a male. the pollen sacks on it are starting to open what should i do? i only want seeds on the bottom branches of my plant. should i just rub my finger on the pollen sacks that are open and then on the flowers i want seeded on my other plant? and finally how long will seeds take to develop? thanks for reading this and im looking forward to your responses... =)

shake a male branch with flowers on it, catching the pollen in a plastic bag, then place the bag over a female branch, overnite ... OR, if even more control is wanted, just take an artist's paint brush, and individually pollinate the flowers ... it will take at least 3 weeks to mature the seeds, a month is more like it ... :smokin:

why would you try and breed a dank plant with a midgrade plant.The seeds you get are i think f2 generation and they would suck it would be shitty mids just harvest your plant:thumbsup:

that isn't necessarily true, as we don't know what the bagseed genetics were ... I have grown out some killer 'mystery' bagseeds over the years, he has a chance at some good results ... most importantly, you also have to take into account 'hybrid vigor', which has shown to commonly produce offspring better than both parents ... besides, if he wants seeds from his mother plant, his choices are pretty limited ... :smokin:

Thanks for the support, I topped my plant 2 days ago and I have pollinated whats left of the mother and by the time the bud that is drying cures I should have seeds... if not im just going to harvest... I hope my judgment is right on this.

I purposely pollinated a couple plants for seed production, and the rest of the plant smoked identically to the un-pollinated plants ... lost a lot of yield that way, as the buds get torn up, removing the seeds, but no difference in potency that I could tell ... I wanted to test the old myth that seed creation weakens the potency ... didn't seem to, and now, I got hundreds of great seeds ... :jointsmile:

Yeah well i didnt know that the mother plant was bag seed i thought it wasa like a name brand strain thats potent if its bagseeds go for it its not gonna hurt anything.:thumbsup:

no the mother isn't just bag seed, my friend got a quarter of what he said was kush i don't know if he was full of shit or if the dealer was it was just some really good shit and there were 3 seeds in the bag he let me have them and 2 of them germinated and were female. im not even guna say its kush it was just some fuckin flame ass shit.

Those would actually be an F1 hybrid.
Saying that they would suck is quite the assumption!

Anyway, to the OP, the idea of shaking your male into a baggies is a good one.
For even more control, dip a Q-tip into the baggie and apply a tiny amount of pollen to a few low popcorn buds.
