Hey guys I have a few questions about pollen I was hoping maybe someone could answer.
How close is too close for a male plant and your female plants? Do you guys let males grow out in a separate room all together? Is it safe to keep the plants on the same level of the house? Should I move my males up to a different room (not tent) or floor altogether?
My first experience with pollen was not catching a male auto into time (never even saw it drop anything) and I had a fan in front of all the plants in the tent; well it was lined up in almost a perfect line: Fan->male plant->female auto #1->female auto #2->female auto #3. #1 was loaded with seeds, #2 had a bit less seeds, and #3 had the least
Whoooopsy!
I love the idea of playing with strains and breeding though; need to do a lot of reading up on it though![Emoticon High Five :d5: :d5:](/data/assets/smilies/Emoticon___High_Five.gif)
The next question I had was, is there a way to grow out multiple males in the same space but isolate them somehow so they aren't cross contaminating the other male plants with pollen? So pollen from male plant A isn't dusting the pollen from male plant B in the same space. Is that a worry/concern others have? Or do people typically stick with one strain when doing pollen/seed runs?
Appreciate any advice on this, it's all new to me!![Smilies Smoking A Weed :pass: :pass:](/data/assets/smilies/SmiliesSmokingaWeed.gif)
