What does a pollinated bud look like?

Well,I'm going to show you-a lot of you know,but some newer folks may not.

The pollen has been sitting in a pill bottle in my sock drawer (that's where everyone keeps their cannabis stuff,right?)
for about 5 years,with one of those silica gel packets in it to keep it dry.

I pollinated this one little bud yesterday morning:

Before pollination:

24 hours after pollination:

The pistils have done their job,so they're fixin to die.

Good job documenting this process! I have a few shots of what happens in this study that I did a few years ago:

Working With Pollen

Today I wish to describe my current project, producing, gathering, storing and using pollen. The strain is AK-47. When I started this winter run, I planted 4 AK-47 regulars, and as the odds would have it, ended up with 2 males. These frisky guys were immediately isolated to a special stand...

Nice! I think that's the longest I've heard anyone keep pollen viable.

It's the "good karma" associated with clean socks,my seeds live in there,too-all in this box from Grandma's house...I've had it since I was a kid,and it was old then...
