No pollen yet - howcum?

man i cant wait to be done with collecting pollen. My allergies are killing me.

Allergies suck. One of the main reasons I recently move to growing indoors. During the summer my cars get covered in yellow pollen, this is during flower. I can only imagine how much pollen gets stuck to the buds when you grow outdoors. It's always dusty as well. Me like clean buds!!

I used to stop when a few of the sacs looked like they were ready to open,
If you are crossing strains I found the can lean towards either parent or you will get a mix of the 2,
You will have to grow several of the new F1 seeds and find the one with the best growth, best germination, best smell all the traits you are looking for and make seeds with that one witch would be F2's then do it all over again F3, F4, F5 usually by F5 you should have a pretty stable strain.
Also each time you do this you should make pollen from one of the new seeds F2 reverse and pollenate an F2, Then reverse an F3 and pollenate an F3 ect.
If you use for example F2 pollen on an F4 you will have new F1 seeds.

I agree with this.
I spray every 5 days with STS until I see sacs forming then I'll spray1 more time when ever the 5 day interval falls.
I am 10 for 10 on reversals and so far 8 of 10 have given me seeds (the other 2 just got pollenated a couple of days ago but I'm pretty sure I will be 10 for 10 on seeds)

do you spray outdoors then with gloves & lab eyewear?

my worry would be doing it outside and the wind blowing it back in my face.
Or doing it indoors with low airflow.

I spray indoors, the other problem is if your plant is outdoors you could potentially pollenate other plants or your neighbors plants cause you never know when the pollen will drop.

For sure - Hoping night owl does another drop. Want to use his genetics.
Gotta spend the money on good genetics to breed good genetics.

How long did you let the seeds mature after pollinating them? @Olderfart

Eight weeks. They were likely ready earlier, but I left them anyway to make sure. We will see if I was correct...

 

[Olderfart]

Nice!! @ $10 a seed you just saved $1000
The only reason I buy seeds now is to make different strains!

Yeah, I mentioned that number to my wife. I'm not sure she believed me. Actually, if all the seeds are hard and nice color, there will be more than 100.

I am really happy that I managed to produce some seeds to contribute to survival of this nice strain. It is a real shame that Dinamed went down, and it will be a lot bigger shame if all their genetic work is lost as a result.

really? I thought it was toxic af. Ill have to research it more.

Nice Ill likely do the same. Only was able to really dust the plant once this time. It stopped kicking out new pistols, and just started focusing on seeds. Hope that is a good sign. The seeds will all mature around the same time, so thats nice.

Check this out guys! Safe to say it is reversed and is going to throw out quite a few sacs. Still spraying..

Now if they will be filled with viable pollen i will be stoked. Time to figure out where I'm going to put this thing before it starts dropping pollen. I will probably just put it in a box with a light.

I wonder if a a cfl would work?....

Get a LED bulb if you can. With a 1 into 2 adapter so you can run two.
Im running my little plants under 1 2' t5. Only like 3,000lux.

if you had the 240ppm spray i would stop now. But thats my 2cents.
