Extracting Pollin From A Male

[kdspecial]

I unfortunatly ended up with a nice healthy Male, and a semi healthy female. Since it didn't work out as planned in my small cabinet. I was thinking about trying to put them together for some seeds. So I wont have to buy anymore for some time.

I have read about pollinating a branch of a female to get some seeds, By putting a bag or capturing pollin onto a paper towel. then wrapping it around the female branch. and sealing it. My small female really only has one main stem.

So do you think I can just leave the plants together in my cab and not have to capture the pollin from the big male to wrap around my female? Or should I bag my male and try and capture pollin to dust onto my female. Can Pollin stay active in a bag for a while? can it be stored to be used in another grow?

Im hoping I can just leave the plants together and have the pollin fly onto the female plant. But If I have to capture some pollin and wrap it on the female I will do my best. I just want to see if anyone esle has done this process Indoors. The male is twice her size. Male is BoggleGum and the Femnale is BlueJay. I just want some seeds cuz they run about 100CAD for 10 in the city here. PLus my female is pretty ruff around the edges. I will never judge plants by their pre flowers ever again. (I will only learn that one once) hahahahahah

And I guess the other question, should I turn off my Exaust fan to help keep the pollin in the cabinet,

The plants are 9 days into flowering.

Any help or comments is greatly appreciated.
Thanks Kindly

If you want them to pollinate, just leave them together with the fan on.
You will get all the seeds you want.
Just remember to let them ripen pretty much all the way before harvesting- as long as you see them starting to develop the spotting pattern, and turning brown, they're nearly ripe and can come down.

Perfect Thanks A bunch Stinky.....

Your the Best...

Is there any point in taking the Male out at a certin time Like say after I see the seeds on the Female or am certin the female is pollinated? TO provide more light to My seeder plant? Or is it best to just leave them togetehr the whoel process?

Thanks Kindly...

When you see seeds starting to form the male is no longer needed. You can take him out.

Oh yeah and I forgot to say, cut him back and hang on to him... Bogglegum is going to be RARE... you can even send him to me! I'll give him a nice home!

Do you have to pollinate a female to get seeds?
Can you not just get them off a male plant? I want to do this my self so i'd like to know. Thanks

[kdspecial]

Yeah I read your post about that Strain. Boggle Gum and wondering where BOG has gone. I will send you some seeds if it all works out well.

Thanks so much Stinky.. For this and everything. I will post some picts on this thread of the progress. Im only 9 days in so It will be a while.

Any ideas on if pollen can be stored in a bag to use later? I could send you some Pollin.. hahahah Im in Canada so I doubt I could mail him that far but after this I have no space for him. I could try..

thanks again

So you have to a male and a female to get seeds,
and what happens does the female grow the seeds when it gets pollinated? or what do you do to get seeds?

[stinkyattic]

does the female grow the seeds when it gets pollinated??

Yes.
You will start to see really obvious seed development in about a week after pollination.
