well thats interesting, is it intended for cannabis? in my exp cs will cause them to be manly, i mean its what many of us use to produce fem seed! so in a reservoir? i dont know, seems a lil scary, i can see how it would be good at keeping things sanitary though
i dont think its been cold enough to freeze anything, not according to my thermometers anyway, and im not sure i can concur on over watering considering most of the time i struggle to keep them from drying out and wilting! but your comments are interesting in any case, sorry bout your eyes lol need some eye drops?BID, I am halfway through and my eyes are burnin'.
I am very interested in your pollen gathering and storage techniques.
I love Slayer, tearing stuff up and Metal n general. Many of my friends are Metal Heads, about 1/2
I also love Classic Rock and building stuff, so the other half of my friends are Boot Hippies.( The kind that do shit and take a shower daily).
I also took a look at your photo gallery. They all looked good to a point. I have come to a conclusion that the unhappy plants are unhappy not because you did something to cause their current state. Environmental issues, namely the cold snap. It looks like over watering slowing down nute uptake. The extreme cold can do that quick. Freezing the water in the roots and bursting them, and forcing the plant to build more roots to support the canopy, pulling nutes from the leaves to help accomplish this,making it look even worse. All in all not to bad considering. Not my final answer, but one of the possibilities rattling in my head.
ok for those of you interested in how i collect and store pollen
first on a regular male after i know his sex i super crop the main stem as low as i can or turn the pot on its side so hes laying over i put a tray with waxed paper under to collect the falling pollen, i isolate him in a room of his own, and some times include a female that i want seeded,
after pollen collection for a couple days (i usually take several samples) i dry the pollen for a few days in a small container like a skoal can or rx bottle i label and date the sample, once dry i mix the pollen with some diatomaceous earth or sterilized flour (bake some flour dry at 300f for 20 min) to increase the volume it only takes a little pollen to go a long way, i divide the batches into several separate packages i fold some small wax paper envelopes add the pollen de/flour mixture and write the date etc, this way i can remove a sample without removing all of it from the freezer i store the little envelopes in a rx bottle or other small bottle in that bottle i put silica gel packets i then store the bottles in a large ziplock bag thats been filled 1/4 of the way with "damp rid" moisture absorber, this keeps any and all moisture at bay, when i remove a sample it goes from freezer to frig for an hour then coutertop for 10 min, this is to prevent any condensation then i apply the pollen mixture to the desired female ,thats my method it has kept pollen viable for over a year so far!
you got it! i put enough in each envelope to fully cover a large cola or a half dozen or so smaller buds, in each batch of pollen from a given collection i will make a few odd sizes like 1-2 real small envelopes and a couple that are larger that way i can pick the size pollen amount i need but yeah this works really well to prevent waste and having to thaw and re freeze, witch as i have read will render most of your pollen useless ,Thanks BID!
So is each pollen 'bindle' a single use? ie you put in just enough for one pollination, or will you use some and put the rest back with the others? Your approach makes a LOT of sense. Very wise to dose out the pollen. I'm several months away from any breeding efforts, but it can't hurt to start learning now.
well i have pulled out the mmmf and blue dream and getting ready to harvest they both looke quite ready, trichs look good, smell, pistils all indicate yes its time they are at a little over 9 weeks flower sooo more pics soon
Been looking forward to this...remember them when they were just babies! 
+ rep 
i will start with the veg tent and something odd happening, most are aware i defol'd the gdp's last update well the 2 males got severe chopping and the female got much less and some supercropping & lst, funny thing is the males reacted by turning pale and getting a little crispy on the edges one worse than the other the female seems to be fine and healing quickly, the males are showing signs of rebound over the last few days, there are no variables other than defol level all receive same food light enviros, im not worried about loosing them as i have clones of all the gdp's well rooted, the only theory i can come up with is ,shock? and or some kind of nute overload due to how much was being used to support all that leaf and then suddenly its all gone? just a theory, and the one that turned nearly white , in the pics it has been greening back up for a couple days
right now i gotta say WOW!!! this has got to be the frostiest plant i have ever cut even though there was little to trim i had to clean of three big wads of scissor hash and i could stick a bud to the ceiling! pure goo fest! the smell is very powerful sweet berries/blueberry spiffy said "berry with a hint of dirty diapers" 
ok um i dont get that but thats what she said, the trimming was fast and easy even the trim was sparkling with trichs, i noticed trichs on every part of the plant even the main stems, the fan leaves all the way to the end front and back, im glad i have an even bigger girl that just started flowering and several clones this is a keeper strain for sure even if its not for me somebody will want this always its a trich beast! and could be used to up trichs on other strains, i will be making fem seeds and making some crosses hmm " grand daddy blue purps haze"? any way
Thanks for taking her on ....and you're right lotsa trimming on the MMMF...the one I have vegging looks like a little shrub...defo'd the all veggers today...lotsa nodes on the MMMF and oldest sour diesel....Looking forward to getting the veggers in the tent AND my next trip your direction. Going out of town for St Patricks Day week-end. You have more than 1 contender for NOTM...reps!
