power outage update pt 2
the pollen collection attempt #1
pollen taken @ day 61
you can see the different layers from this pic :thumbs:
----
not the most pollen but it should be enough for a branch
separated the layers above the foil and then into the container (thank you eppendorf 0.5ml tubes)
- couple rice grain is then added inside the container for the moisture
- fridge for 3 hrs then off to the freezer inside a ziploc bag
----
been reading that its harder to collect pollen from reverse plants
- resulting in fewer pollen dust
- tighter bananas (have to force the pollen out -- they dont burst like regular males)
- will continue to collect pollen as the balls starts to open up
----
tips and tricks to self:
- will be using a brown bag to collect the pollen next time (will be easier to see the pollen dust and collect)
*used foil/wax paper last time -- pollen blends in*
- make sure to remove all the plant matter :thumbs: :check:
