Thanks. I'm gonna do it tomorrow.

videoman, when painting on the pollen do you just rub the pistils with the brush, and is each pair of pistils a seed in the making?
thanks

Great Thread!

I just found a B52 male in my grow room today and thanks to this kick ass thread, i am now going to collect his pollen and someday cross him. =D

Thanks a bunch Videoman =D SMOKE ON!!

I am so glad you all like this thread! Share the knowledge we all learn.
With knowledge we all become stronger.
Now, if we could only get this beautiful plant legalized.

May I make a suggestion for all those who do this?

First off I like your method of collecting pollen, a bit different than than mine! I place foldeded post it notes along the branches to collect the pollen.

Ok heres my suggestion for all of you who use this method.

When you cut a branch off to collect the pollen from, first make sure there are several flower pods. Second, make a nice clean 45 degree cut and place cutting in a cloning solution right away (like Hormex) and let soak for a minute in the solution and then place in cups as described in this thread. Instead of using plain tap water, use a light dose of the Hormex solution in your water.
By doing this you can (clone) continue on that males strain. This will give you all the male pollen you'll ever want down the road. Pollen can be stored only for a very short time, and it's really best to keep in fridge in a film canister or something that light can't penetrate. Light will destroy pollen over time. By placing in fridge you can extend the life of your pollen.

Anyway those are my suggestions if you want to clone and keep a good male strain around!

Excellent post! Glad to see others expanding their horizons!

Pollen can be stored for long peroids of time in the freezer. Make sure its air-tight though. Otherwise it only lasts a few weeks.

I wanna collect the female pollen!!!lol

Great thread mate! ive kept the pollen before but your way is much easier
i agree only put it on your bottom colas, then you have good bud uptop, and seed filled bud on the bottom.
One side of the cake with icing, one with out
