Bapple, when those little Teardrop shaped pods open up there are 5 Pestles with pollen on them inside. So they are ready to collect when the pods open. If that plant is still in the container, take it inside now and if it's in the ground, bag it and after the pods all open, tie the bottom of the bag around the stalk and cut underneath the bag and you got all the pollen you need. What I usually do is once all the pods open on the plant, I shake it over some Butcher Paper, then scrape it into a pile with a card ( of your choosing ) LOL then put that into the appropriate container. I use those coated paper advertisements you get in the mail to make a half funnel, then pour the pollen into a Seal-A-Meal bag and vacuum seal it and the pollen is go for a long time. You can use glass or plastic jars but keep it in the fridge not the freezer and its good at least 6 months. In the Vac- Bags its good for years in or out of the fridge, but it should be in the dark. I have a very small Badger Hair artists brush I use to apply it. It seems to keep the pollen in the designated area with less overflow, but you can just sprinkle it on with you fingers. Gorgeous I hope that's what you wanted to know. HiddenGrow, Yeah I commanded them to stand at attention for the picture, most of the time their Gold Bricking. Radogast that's the difference between brothers, I'm a modest grower with a lot of need. LOL Thanks you guys, you make doing this enjoyable. TOAST
