I'm actually working on a little breeding experiment right now. I've got 2 males from an unidentified batch of seeds I received as a freebie for ordering from Amsterdam seeds. I took them out of my flowering room after I id'd them as males, and put them in my bay window to flower since it's the right time of year. All I know is what I can tell from looking, which is that it's an indica or indica dominant strain. (Pictured with 2 females in front and males in back.) I'm hoping to get some pollen and get some seeds for both the original strain, as the females are still in flower, and maybe to cross with a white rhino from my current batch of clones in soil, which are probably about 3-4 weeks out from flowering. Maybe that's what I'll call the cross. The males have started to flower and have some pretty nice pollen sacks developing. The breeding part of it is actually far more interesting to me than the growing part. I just don't see a practical way to meaningfully experiment and refine in the time and space available to me.

I'm thinking I'll pollinate one or two flowers at a time with a paintbrush or something so as to get some unseeded buds too. Anyone know about this procedure, or about "diluting" the pollen with flour, as I've read about? Help me out here oh wise ones.

im not too knowledgeable about breeding but if you read the grow bible then you can know what i know..
if you want a copy let me know and i will post one up/send you one from a junk email

I'm not sure which book you are talking about, but I have the Cervantes book, "Marijuana Botany" by Clarke and one other. I am always up for anything I can learn from.

Well Senor i know if you keep those plant togther like that, it will seed your whole female. A small breeze will put pollen all over those females being that close. Iv never made seeds yet, but from reading most people keep a male in a different room. After the plant flowers iv read people put a wet paper sack around a branch and rattle it a bit, for the pollen to fall off and attach itself to the bag. Then they take the bag to the female after it has dried out and put it around a lower branch of there female and rattle it again to pollinate that branch only. Then carfully take the bag away from your girls, because that pollen travels easy and fast.:wtf:Also, if the pollen is kept wet, it wont leave the plant, but thats something you need to keep up on.

But iv never done this. But if i did, thats what i would do. I am sure someone will chime in w/ more experience making seeds. But i know if you let those plants become to good of friends the female will be filled with seeds. If i understood correctlly

Good luck my friend:thumbsup:

I've read an article about pollenation about a month ago.

The writer of the article said he kept a male when he wanted to breed. He made it quite clear that absolutly NO pollen was aloud any where near his grow room. Thus he kept the male in a box on the other end of his house. Using hepa filters on all air exits. He also made it quite clear that he never went near a male before he tended the females and always showered and changed clothes after dealing with the males.

When the males would flower. He would take a small jar(like a pomento jar) and tap each open male flower into the jar to collect pollen. Then he'd cut back or distroy the male. He kept the pollen in the fridge or freezer saying it would last five months.

I'm pretty sure he added a small amount of water to the pollen and then barely dabbed a tiny bit on specific flowers he wanted to pollenate AFTER moving said plant to the (previously) male box.

Again the male pollen never entered the flowering room, and the pollenated female was removed before pollenation to avoid any chance of seeds in the current crop.

So, I have to agree with LetsSeeYa. If those male flowers open anywhere near your girls it's gonna be SEED CITY.

Otherwise looks great! :thumbsup:
