JEM & Budwider - Seed Run

[realcarlos]

Yea, they were all started at the same time. Typically a male will flower first. I know a number of folks that will start a round 10-14 days after the first, cull the males from the first round and by the time the next round is ready, the males will have spurted (in the second round) and the females from the first round will be ripe & ready to receive with loads of flowers for maximum seed production. I'm going to be saving the pollen from this first round, too, to make sure I have enough.

Thanks! So it's best to start a second round 10-14 days later for maximize pollination? Or you could save the pollen and do it manually?

Either. I'll be doing both just to ensure I have a good amount of pollen ready. For example, right now the JEM is shedding pollen, but the females have about 20 calyxes each that are ready to receive it. In a another 15-20 days or so, there'll be loads of calyxes ready to receive and I should have another round of pollen ready for them.

This round I got very, very few males. 1 JEM male and 2 BW males and 7 JEM females and 6 BW females.

Tons of females. If I wasn't doing a seed run, I'd be super pumped. But, I'll take wha I can get. I won't be looking for any bud at all, so I can let these go until the seeds are fully matured even if that means the trichomes are past their due date.

Just started collecting some pollen from the big JEM. Stands 27 inches tall. The females are all around that height, with 1 or 2 being 4 inches shorter. The budwiders... beasts. That's all I can say. Beasts.

How do your know when a male is ready for pollen collection?

When there's pollen falling on the leaves... it's time to start finding the open pods. I leave them in a room with absolutely no airflow when they start dropping and wait for the shriveled up pods to start making their appearance. Those ones will drop loads of dust. Then I put that pollen into a dryer at 85 degrees for 24 hours, cap it and put it in the fridge.

A little bit of pink pistil action on the budwiders...

Just brought in the Budwider for some sexy time. Painted pollen on everything she had.

And just did the deed with some beautiful JEM's... one is so dark purple and it's seriously creeping into the sugar leaves. I mean, royal purple. Only one is like that, the rest are a nice faded purple color.
