I have heard of growers before using a small paint brush and glazing the buds of the female plants with pollen from the male plant one is trying to cross. how would you advise someone to cross pollinate to build new strains? :thumbsup:
From seed, two months, from clones a month. You have to work with your plants and get a feel for the strain, or get one that you know someone is very good a growing a specific strain and can help you on your schedule. And the pollination technique is one method, but you have to keep the males isolated. :thumbsup:

I have been slowly but surely collect parts to my grow set up. last week i purchased two old shop lights that came out of an old catholic school. the guy sold them to me for only $20 a piece. they are holophane hids that use mercury vapor bulbs. after doing some research I have found that my ballast will support hps and metal halide. i plan to veg Rating: 5
