get pollen off male, put in small plastic bag, get a small paintbrush. After female has been in flower for 2-3 weeks time, take brush, dip into pollen, brush pollen onto lower branch flowers. remove pollen and brush. harvest good bud up top and seeds at bottom at 8-9 weeks flower.

Thanks NoDrama.

When I pollenate the buds , should I redo the bud again later.

Yup, thats how evolution happens. And how seed banks get better strains. Hopefully youll get a lot of seeds as a result and you can try each one when theyre mature. Remember punnent (sp?) squares from school? When you cross them (the plants) you pass on recessive and/or dominant genetic material regarding a particular trait. From there you can cross pollinate with another that would be helpful. For example, if your plant produces really nice, tight, mold resistant buds and has good top growth but the roots tend to develop slower and are susceptible to overwatering, you could try crossing that plant with a plant known to develop a resilient root system. Only problem is that youre crossing everything and the phenotype(s) may result in less desirable characteristics in some areas..

Try it

How often should I repollen? Wouldn't new seeds pods come has the flowering stage is in effect. Do seed production stop when I pollenate the first time?


Info needed
