Can you remind me of your technique for just pollinating the pistils that show up at the nodes once the plant shows sex. Do you use a paintbrush to make sure the pollen stays put? And do you get one seed per pistil?
Congrats Fly....that will keep you busy for a while and you should be able to find a few good plants out of that to continue breeding more of what you want!Hey @Van Stank I got 189 seeds out of both plants. I'm a dad! Have a good one.
Hey Shed.......there are a few ways to do it. I prefer to keep the flowering male near the veg females that have the preflowers. I have a small tent that I keep the males in, and during the day I will bring them out of their tents and spend some time getting to know each other. If they like each other, I get seeds. Its the easiest way and it literally allows me to cross a male to all my vegging girls that are in preflower state. I don't need to take clones, get them rooted, grow them big enough to produce seeds and then lose buds to seeds if I am not even sure its a worth doing. With a big plant in veg.......I can get over 100 seeds from a pre-flowering vegging girl. Certainly enough to grow a handful out and give a few away and see what can be discovered.Can you remind me of your technique for just pollinating the pistils that show up at the nodes once the plant shows sex.

Hey Amy, thanks for swinging through! We appreciate the kind words on the Kushberry TF. Morglie has certainly done a great job with that one! Makes me want to pop one!Gday Van, mrs and all the visiting Stank lovers
Haven’t been able to check in at all the rooms I’d like to lately so I’ve been missing lots of action here I know. I might do an “update” search and bring myself up to date with the current brood.
I wanted to stop in today to share my admiration of the Kushberry that you made in this garden. Just saw a stunner at Morglie’s. Beautiful in all areas
Great tip Van! I’ll be sure to try this out when I start making seeds!Hey Shed.......there are a few ways to do it. I prefer to keep the flowering male near the veg females that have the preflowers.

You can definitely manually pollinate if you want, but I go back to me being a lazy grower. I would prefer to put them next to each other and have the pollen find its way to the target. If I was to try manually, I would probably try Q-tips or a small paint brush.
Yes there will only be one seed per pistil area. The seed pods are easy to see and after a week or two, you can see and feel the seed developing in there. If you didn't get enough seeds with one application and you have more pistils that need pollen, hit it again.
Really play around with it. Its like anything else with growing.....you can read about it a few times but it all just kind of comes together when you tinker and give it whirl yourself. If you have any other questions Shed, you know where to find me brother. Be glad to offer up any additional help with it. And again, the best part is you get seeds AND Sinsemilla bud! I mean seeded bud isn't really a big deal unless you have thousands of seeds, but its nice to get your seeds and meds.
Much easier to harvest the seeds pollinated in veg as well. You can see the pods at the base of the nodes. Just pinch them off when you are ready to collect and take the pods off and let them dry (the seeds, not the pods) for a few days before storing them (cause fresh seeds can mold if you aren't careful).
DTF #1 Veg Day 82
Hey all. First up today we have one of our two vegging DTF girls. We have one other DTF that was flowered out early and she is about to start her 4th week of flower tomorrow. I had to break out the H2O2 to help try and reign in her fungus gnat issue. Watered her with some rain water and H2O2 last night and I will be top dressing in more stuff and microbes and then I will be adding some Gnat Gnix on top to keep them out. That should end my issue.
The problem came to be because I haven't found the fans I used to have in the tent. I know I unpacked it, but I can't find where I put it for the life of me. Generally just having a fan blowing over the surface will keep any gnats in check. Shows how important those little things are in our grow area.
The game plan with this girl is to veg her out to about 100 days or so (I have been working to keep her on the smaller side this long as I don't have room to flower her out yet) and up pot her to a 10 gallon and let her get her feet under her and then flip.
