Male hermed

Thanks, I know about the option to dry and grind but I was really set on using them 'this' round. 4 weeks into flowering now, wishing I had some pollen.

Once the pollen sacks open, they should be viable. regardless of it if shed pollen into the air or not.

Thank again, I worked with a bright led light and noticed only like 'two' particles of pollen go into the air. There's some 'dust' on the foil below the branch, but that could actually be dust...

Based on that "should" I grabbed a few and rubbed them against a flower last night, hoping that would work. Yes I'm desperate I have a few amazing plants from seed, and didn't take clones (can't currently for several reasons) also assuming I'd get some pollen / seeds from them anyway. The main mistake I made was to remove the male branch too soon, had a few balls far ahead of the rest, should've cut them off and let the branch on the plant in flower room longer. I still have a few male balls on my branch I'm hoping to keep alive long enough for them to produce pollen.

There's a pic of the only powdery stuff I was able to gather in my journal (link in sig). I painted that on a flower too several days ago already. No signs of successful pollination, that is, no brown/golden pistils or pistil tips even.

you can make a male produce female flowers it takes a higher ppm of gibb but any thing over 600 ppm gives a mule effect supposedly eventually it has to wear off if nothing else it will be a uber seed crop >.<
