No need to suspect lol this came out of my container. I have already made seeds with this.
If you see something like this in your grind you are probably looking at pollen.
best of luck to you!
If you could get a shot of your pollen that would be great.
I've had people on other forums talk about artifacts and color flares from the lenses of cheaper microscopes.
As far as I'm concerned as long as I can tell what it is, that's all that matters.
I'm not a scientist and I'm not getting images for the "pollen year book" I just wanna make seeds!
It would be helpful to all to see what pollen looks like through many different cheap scopes.
At least they can identify it better.
Your earlier attachment was from a scientific microscope and to be honest I'm not sure what I was looking for at that close lol.
What type of scope do you have?

Couldn't help myself, looked like too much fun. I've never tried this before -- using my (cheap) Carson pocket microscope, and then putting my iPhone camera right over it. This flower had just opened, but was pretty young (I sacrificed it for "science"). First, I'm not 100% sure that's pollen, and secondly, if it is, I'm not sure it's fully formed?
Based on what y'all are saying, it might be... should they look like water droplets? I tried to kind of 'grind' up the flower a bit to see if any would fall off, but they seemed to just get crushed, after that I couldn't find any. Might be because they are not fully formed?

- Various strains, via various intake tools, but no combustion.
Dunno. If pollen, I doubt it is ready yet. Is the main green structure the round bits are sitting in a nanner?

i don't know the botanical names for the parts, but it's the long thin green (leafy) parts that make up the male "flower" as it opens... if that helps?

I think those little egg-like dots are what I was photographing, like peas in a pod. Is that the pollen?
