Default Mixing pollen?
Hey everyone, I have four males and I was wondering if there was some way to mix their pollen together to get the best of the best mixed together? This kinda goes against my common knowledge to ask, because I think it's impossible, but I was just wondering...
Thanks in advance,
Grow it and roll it!

You can mix it, but only one strand of DNA is gonna take per flower. So you may end up with different crosses per seed on the same plant.

Down side is, when you get a good one, you'll have no idea how to do it again.

Yea thats what I thought.. Good point too, if I control it I'll know what's happening. So let me ask a more realistic question; would I be able to pollinate the same female with each different male of mine? That way I could get a variety of different seeds, all with the same mother?

yep i tried this just use a small paint brush to brush on some pollen (use different brushes for different pollen) and be careful not to cross contaminate from branch to branch also put a piece of tape or something on each branch so you can keep track of which pollen you used where

Yes you sure can man , Best thing to do is harvest the real stuff 1st and leave some of the lower buds the 1s that do not weigh much when dryed , Then just add your pollen to each bud it will nearly be impossable to have them all the same different crosses on each bud that pollen gets every were but you will have your 4 x crosses how much will get mixed up i do not know alll you can do is be careful..H4L

Thanks everyone, now I feel like I can actually do something about this shitty female to male ratio. If I had my way, I would just take a bunch of clones from the only female and start those, but my time line is really ending fast.. I think what I'll do now is harvest all of the different pollens, then polinate several different pistils on the female, and just get a bunch of seeds to try again when the time and place permits.

I do the paperbag method put a different bag on different branches with different pollen wait then vaccum the extra pollen off "tip use a lighty bleach/water rag to wipe the end of the vaccum off from branch to branch. turns out pretty good for me one mother like 12 different cross'.

Hey everyone, I just bagged one of the males last night, and thank God I did, today it opened up in the bag. No sign of pollen yet, but I was wondering if the constant moisture in the baggy would hurt the pollen or anything? It seems risky to remove the moisture, but I will if need be.
