Pollen chuckers paradise

[shottafire]

From what I understand pairing plants is really a toss up. Selecting for desired traits is important good genetics is important but even then you can still create some red headed stepchild morphs. I will be throwing or giving away any seed that doesn’t outperform the parents. The idea of the game here is to improve the genetics and not water it down right?

Yes that was Oldtimer1 philosophy. If he found a better plant he would keep it and swap moms.

What is a normal percentage of under developed beans. I did wait plenty long, plant was a auto selfie, free pollinated.
I saved some pollen in a jar with humility pack to try crossing this summer. Red Cheese/Haze XXL

I’m not sure about that, maybe someone has a better answer

HI, I don't have a lot of experience with pollen but they say to store it completely dry. I have mine with a few grains of rice in an air tight container in the fridge. Your x sounds good.

All this depends on the strain and how long you leave the seeds on a healthy plant. My guess is if you kept feeding until the seeds dropped naturally you would be at a very high percentage. If your trying to go for speed and say give 4 to 5 weeks on the vine after pollination,
I would say at least half the seeds would be mature with a range into a questionable maturity status.

Hi there everyone! I'm back. I am now finding a few seeds from my SSH male that snuck out of the barn LMAO. Not many like I thought. Or I should say hoped. The branches I pollinated on the BOO and the Ghost Train Haze are still growing just to be sure seeds are finished. Those Ghost Train Haze seeds are going to be amazing. That weed is F**king killer. A friend says it is some of the best I have every grow. He should know he has smoked 90% of it. It has it all like GTH should. Flavor, quality of high, and potency. It wasn't a huge producer but it was ok. With everything considered it was a GREAT plant. Sure wish I could have regenerated it.

I have 3 plants regenerating right now. 3 Banana Sorbet 1 Strawberry Lemonade and a soon to be added haze leaning SSH. I will only be keeping 1 BS, both were really frosty one is bigger the other has better bud structure. The highs will settle the tie. The Strawberry Lemonade is going to be the pollen doner if everything works out. That plant is amazing. High is excellent. Best over all plant the whole grow. That says a lot when you consider what is was competing with.

I will keep you guys informed if things regenerate.

Hi all! Started collecting my purple punch pollen. Folded up the bindle and put it in a med bottle with a dessicant pac and into the freezer.Stay safe and stay stoned!

If the pollen is viable it shouldn't take more than a few hours or so. I try and go 24 hours to be sure.

Here’s the progeny from my first cross. I got more beans in the oven now pollinated last week. Using 2 males and a branch from each of the 6 I have in flowering now.

looking forward to seeing what these do.

What does she smell like bud?

 

[Dankman_420]

Not sure yet. Something sweet. It's too early to tell. I'm really hoping for the strong lime from Chernobyl side
