Pistols collect pollen---your thinking of seed bract-------The seeds are ready when the bracts split and you can see the seed it will start to brown--the seeds will brown (oxidize)more once they are harvested and removed from the bracts and allowed to dry a little---
Sometimes that's not enough time, they turn brown as soon as they crack but the rest of the seed is green. I wait till the seed sheath itself starts turning brown. I love shelling seeds and smoking the finger "hash" as I do it .
thanks ill remember to always polinate rite at the beginning of flowering.
alrite thanks. that makes since. seed bract. thats a new one on me. and if the seeds come out successful, what is the proper name for the strain that was made by oger and purple kush?
interesting. ive heard of methods like this. i will give it a try next time around. ill get a few pics up tonite probably. thanks!52mm,
I know your question. And Dr. Von' gave you a pretty solid awnser. However for future reference, Jorge Cervantes detailed in his book "Marijuana Horticulture" how to "selective breed." This allows for proper insimination of a selected section of your female plant as opposed to the entire thing.
What you do is
A) keep your male OUT of your grow room, take him out right before is pollen sacks open.
B) As they open collect the pollen in a air tight container (WEAR GLOVES, ANY OF THIS ON YOUR HAND COMING INTO CONTACT W/YOUR FEMALE WILL CAUSE POLLINATION)
C) When you are ready to pollinate your female, use a paint brush and apply the pollen to one branch (generally lower branch).
The end result is the desired cross breed seeds between your two parents, while still maintaining a seed free (due to air circulation there may be 2 or 3) cola.
Hope this was of some use. Take it easy, show us a pic of the preggo!
PS Good Idea though! Now you have plenty of seeds and will never have to buy those expensive things.
haha. thanks for the info. im sure i will pick up on this wonderful hobby you have discovered as well in a few weeks.
thats what i thought of too. something with og would be more interesting i think. haha.
-----Correct would be OG KUSHxPURPLE KUSH-----The mother comes first---can also be expressed as OG PURPLE KUSH. Not to many adhere to the proper nomenclature.
