Making Fem Seeds When To Start

[jay-toker]

Should I start the intended fem to reverse earlier than the other plants? Like start germinating 1 auto about 10 to 15 days earlier than the others for reversing. And are there any good tutorials on how to collect pollen? I've always just shook normal males over normal fems. But I'm guessing that wont work for reversing since from what I've read actually collecting pollen can be difficult. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

I just ran a seed grow of Mephisto Double Grape. (See https://www.autoflower.org/ubs/blog/mephisto-double-grape-auto-seed-run.459/) I planted 5 seeds on the same day. I eventually culled two. At day 29 I started spraying the selected "father" with a product made by Twenty20 Mendocino that's supposed to be sprayed every third day. After a week or so I ended up spraying daily.

All three plants matured at the same time, and the "male" pollinated two females. I used a fan to make sure pollen got plenty of movement.

Here is my lifetime supply of seeds:

I used a ramp to collect the seeds. I think I only got about 70% of them, and will be making hash from the leftovers.
