Peyton & Pals Perpetual Playground

Thc bomb clones are coming along nicely. Still waiting to see some new growth before I take off domes. They'll both veg for a little while, and one will be sprayed for fem pollen, the other for seeds. If I still have some HGK pollen I'll do a cross on one or two of the buds.

 

[skunnymonster]

You sound like a man with a plan Have you any idea how long can you store pollen in the freezer for

 

[PeytonManning]

No idea yet. I'll have to go to the starter thread and find the storing pollen thread on here. A few minutes and I'll come back with the answer or a link to it

 

[PeytonManning]

They say in the fridge it's only good for 3 to 5 days. They say you can store it in freezer for a year, but don't tell you how to do it, so might have to hit up Google

 

[PeytonManning]

okay, so i was reading online and they say that for freezing pollen, you want to mix it with a little flour or corn starch, and sift to make sure there is no plant matter, because moisture will kill the pollen. the flour or starch also is supposed to make it easier to spread in the future. they say to use jars or oven bags, and to drop a dessicant pack in with it. I'd make sure and go ahead and go with an airtight container. there's a few variations of how to do it, but they all get the same end result. long term storage. it is not ideal to thaw and refreeze pollen, so bag or bottle separate if you aren't doing it in one shot.

and as for the fridge, you want to cut it with flour or starch and it can be viable for up to a month in the fridge, but again, keeping out moisture is key. some use film roll canisters and pill bottles, but airtight is preferred. i have a couple little bottles i plan to try out for it.

 

[skunnymonster]

I need to go hunting the shops for little jars & flour

 

[PeytonManning]

I'll store a big batch of my HGK in fridge, and another in freezer to see if it works with the thc bomb cross.

Needless to say, when pollinating your females, turn off oscillating fans and fans that blow on plants. Don't want any stray pollination. After a few days the pollen will either be used by the plant or die, so then you can resume your regular routine

 

[skunnymonster]

Yea, I'm planning on pulling the plant out to pollinate one branch & seal it in the bottle for a few days. I'll spray the plant down with water before putting it back in the flower tent too so it'll kill any loose pollen

Well I took some new pics just waiting on them to download from my phone to the site have to get the old camera back much easier than this. Was gonna do a water change but was up too late playing Destiny last night 4 hours of sleep just isn't enough for my old butt anymore so water change on 2 morrows agenda.

My critical maybe but my random is staying real short and squat I raise my light trying to get it to stretch but its being stubborn lol

 

[PeytonManning]

I tried that with my wwxbb. She keeps spitting out 3 nodes at each point, so I think she's gonna stay short and weird for me

I'm ready to see what u been hiding kola!

 

[PeytonManning]

I know, he keeps saying they're coming, but I'm still waiting lol. Just messing kola, take your time. I'm excited to build my screen. Probably get the frame of it ready tonight or tomorrow. Tomorrow is my birthday, so I'll probably be pretty chill tomorrow. I'll still be on, but probably spend most of the day vaping and playing with building the screen
