Few questions,

1. When is a good time to pollinate a stem? Like what week in flower?

2. Can I pollinate 2 branches with 2 different pollen?

3. What I want to cross here:

CDLC X Anvil

CDLC X Alf

Anvil X Alf

ALF X Anvil ( would this be the same as above or different?)

All of these are in flower now, cdlc just started week 2 of flower and the Anvil & Alf just started week 1.

Thanks!

So best time to pollinate is right before the swell. So once the stretch stops and she sets flowers. When you see a high number of white pistils is the best time. Then you’ll need at a minimum of 3 weeks for maturity. I recommend 4.5-5 weeks. Let the branch go.

You can pollinate separate branches but you’ll need to use caution. I have a thread / guide here that has info on isolation pollination. This method will help you get what you want.

Alf x anvil will be the same either way it’s all about the male. If you do this cross it’ll be a bx in a way. Anvil came out of alf and was isolated 4-5 gens ago. So each selection for anvil was a matching color male and female. Each inbred to lock down the bud color and leaf trait.

Thank you, I've read that thread a while ago (almost read everything you wrote) which got me thinking and came up with the questions. Now, will these be regular auto flower seeds?

Again thank you for your help! Oh, I also got some seeds coming from autoflower portal next week. Mumbling Dragon and Amerthst plus the freebie.

I use a paint brush very small like in kids are class with water color paint now when to pollinate that depends on how many seeds u really want I did some testing on this and that's way I've found check out my thread mephisto/my crosses

Also remember this cross u make will be a f1. Now even if u have a lot of room 100 f1 seeds is more than enuff if you paint the pollen on one whole branch depending when you do it on that cdlc pic u showed me if u pollenated that you mite get 20 from it also make sure after catching pollen try to get it out of sacks as fast as possible pollen rates drop fast after a certain amount of time

Pollen has been stored in freezer since 7/19, (check page 7) I want to pollinate 2 branches, 1 with anvil and 1 with alf. I just want to get the timing right. It's going to take 3-5 weeks for the seeds to mature.

Thanks!!
