Sure. Fridge works well too, in an airtight/watertight container. Make sure pollen is free from any other plant material, or pollen can mold.

I'd try them all, but then again...I do have too many strains as a result of doing just that.

Make very sure to let the seeds mature before chopping the plant. This is another advantage to only pollinating the lower branches...you can chop the cola if it's ready before the seeds, and continue flowering the rest of the plant till the seeds are mature.

thanks rusty..your a saint..... im gonna pollinate a lower branch of the power plant reveg(thanks to your thread) and see what happens....

if it works i might even name it after you..rustys power budd:thumbsup:
