Well, I ended up with 3/4 of the blue kimbo pop up and so far 0/4 of the black cherry creme...going to give them a few more days and hopefully some will pop up! Really want to see that black cherry creme grow out!

Yeah dont try to mix it with any flour, just dry it, stick it into a vial, baggie, envelope. I store mine with rice so that the rice wicks moisture

Excellent info from you both! Tyvm for the prompt responses. I will be sure to keep an eye on it and let it air out even if need be, but it seemed plenty dry when I harvested it. I'll definately look into those plastic bean vials. I had those exact things in mind actually...I'll throw in a few grains of rice for good measure while I'm at it. Thanks guys

Yeah no worries @Mohican & @Dr.D81 were discussing this not too long ago. They probably will chime in as far as drying goes. I just let mine air out for a couple days before storing it

I dont know i try to use it. I have some a year old i will test for you

I need to move soon before i get more gear

if I missed anybody with testers let me know I got more and I need them tested asap, thanks

I would love to throw my hat in the ring to be a tester and I know I could do them justice but a man has to know his limitations and I got the next two runs lined out. I wouldn't be fair to put off testing gear for 5 months. @bigworm6969 your the man for putting that out there!

I tried some year old stuff stored in a tupperware in a closet and it was no go.

just curious if you knew a rough estimate of the lifespan.

If it stays completely moisture free I think it would last a while. I had some 1 year old in the fridge, in a container with rice and it pollinated a rooftop worth

I will remove my enthusiasm after Doc came in and chopped off my legs with his blessing

I love peoples enthusiasm for free beans but as a seed producer i found the testers unreliable for getting good information back. I said fuck it and had to start testing it all myself. Now not to say there are not great teasters out there mind you.

Was that a frig you used and had to open the door in that years time?I thought opening the door and closing it a few times would drow moister and kill the pollen but as I have said befor I been wrong lots of times in life and will be again.LOL

It was up in the vegetable crisper in another sealed container with rice, and pollen was in a sealed container inside that sealed container. Yeah if you just have it in refrig you are opening and closing daily moisture will get it

I stored my blueberry pollen in a dram jar with a silicon pack, in the fridge, in a container of uncooked rice. It was still viable (only just) 18 months later ..

Sign me up I got some space in my room!

I know there's a chucker thread but it's too long
What do u guys look for in a male?
Basically all I've learned is that the larger the male the more hempy
I would guess u look for smell from stem rubbing and look for trichomes and even smoke the males... Maybe look for branching pattern or leaf to calyx ratio idk really seems like a lot of the Riu breeders are on this thread
If I want big yielders would the larger plants lend that trait? Guess I should go read more
Thinking of tossing some pollen on some ladies and only have made seeds by accident before

Males that bolt lend theirselves to a hempy trait. I look for a male which takes its time showing its maleness. sturdy stems, decent internode spacing, smell. Its a long thread, but best go have a look through chuckers paradise
