Not sure that is entirely accurate. You can pollinate the top of the buds and get quite a few seeds.

By what you said that would mean you would have to brush all the way up and down the bud to get a hundred seeds and from the time I was able to pollinate I brushed the very top and it gave me over 60 seeds.

the rest blew around ......
1 piece of pollen ...... 1 pistil ..... 1 seed ...... its simple botany
if you got 60 seed's from the top bud then 60 pistils were pollinated

the carrier for the pollen is air and not insect so it floats .... even just breathing around it will spread it " around it " keywords :P

if one pistil pollinated the whole branch then cannabis wouldnt be as adaptable as it is.... you can have multiple fathers on the same branch ...... its a survival trait to promote genetic diversity

pollen touches the pistil ....hair oranges and recedes dragging the pollen in the calyx .. calyx makes the seed

I think mine are going to be just about the perfect time to pollinate. Long white pistils, oh yea. Gonna have to turn off all my fans in there and pollinate. I know I'm doing two on the PM. I also have the bagseed pollen, but its going to be saved. I bought glitter mixing tubes to hold the pollen. Clear plastic, not sure if that is going to work or not. Does clear plastic make a difference for storage or does it need to be dark. Kinda like milk jugs principle?

it needs to be stored in the freezer with some kind of ( something to collect any moisture that gets in there)
it only lasts a little over a month from what i understand

Can anyone tell if these are cloudy or clear? Hard to tell with this microscope and how it is.

Looks to me like its a mix. Like somewhat cloudy and somewhat clear. Guess this is what I get for buying a cheap digital microscope. o_O
