After a day outside and not even my half blind cockeyed self could miss these.
Think it drops when they open......checking it a few times a day now and got them spaced on deck. When it opens and I see pollen I will start dusting it's pistils and a marked site or two on the BB to at least get a cross of it if it doesn't turn. Then snip it and put the male end in a glass of water to carry it for a few days......long enough to get some storage pollen.Any day now on GT!
edit......or should the pollen already exist before they open up?![]()
I was thinking, I thought water killed pollen, but I realized you were talking about snipping part of the plant and putting it in water to continue to develop.

Saw Bob and Sawney talking about it and he described it to me...sounded like a great way to isolate it to get pollen for storage purposes and clear up the back deck for the 3 BOG. Figure I only need to keep it going for a few days to a week with a coffee filter catch basin.I was thinking, I thought water killed pollen, but I realized you were talking about snipping part of the plant and putting it in water to continue to develop.

Edit: I'm just really chucking pollen at this point.......next time around I'll read reviews, check charecteristics and look at pics of a strain or two and make a concentrated effort to make something..
Yup...proof of concept at this point.If ya have time, post pics of that please.
I screwed up my planting of my photo girls in the wrong pots. That changed what I could use for the test. I'm using cheap seeds of a strain I haven't personally grown before. Next will be well thought out.
Just getting the procedures down, for later times. The extra seeds are just a bennie.
