1st Grow
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:[align=center]A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.[/align]
