My First breeding project (super shit x white berry)

So this will be my first attempt at crossing 2 strains and I have a couple questions to start..

1) If I have mostly females and one male will I get more bud than seed? (there is only 1 male and 18 ladies)

2) If I am on a perpetual grow cycle, what stages of flowering will recieve the male's pollen and create seeds? I have a white berry plant (7 week flower period), with 7 rows of 3 plants. (so essentially I can harvest 3 plants every week) and the male is super shit from bc seeds (their version of kush which is skunk x afghani)

Any advice would be very much appreciated and it would ensure dank ass buds in the future..

...dude, IMO, the male will seed up all your ladies in bloom....the pollen can stick around in your room for upto 2 years I've read....LOL.....I'd kill that fucker, keep mothers and cut clones = seedless everytime. Unless you want seeds, in that case, you could collect the pollen from a male and with a paint brush, brush some pollen on one branch....you'll only get seeds on that single branch.

I do want seeds, and a lot of them for inbreeding.. but i want some nug to smoke as well. I've read that the female has to be in a certain stage of flowering to receive pollen and produce seeds. I'm not planning on leaving the male in there for long (just for a couple pods to pop). this is why I have my 2 questions..

....I edited my first post, the paintbrush deal sounds up your alley. My old buddy spreads his pollen around week four....all indica dom. << that may make a difference...idk.

How can I tell when the sacs are ready to be collected, dried, and stored away?

.... after their sex has been determined, but before the pollen is shed ( wk#3-4)....you'll see the balls everywhere....turn the fan off...get him out of your flowering room (careful not to shake'em too much!)...put him in his own little room with compact flos, cover around the stem with paper plates (cut,tape,shape to your idea), let him grow until you see the pollen sacs open naturally...the pollen will fall to the ground and collect on your modified paper plate pollen catcher.( <<< using something black will allow you to see the pollen better than paper plates) .....you can also shake the plants to make the pollen fall...all is good.

....the pollen is hard to store away due to moister, so....he says he puts the DRY pollen, in a coner of a paper bag, and folds it up many times....then drops the paper bag coner into a mason jar full of rice....puts lid on mason jar and puts in the freezer...if you have weak pollen, you'll just get a low count of seeds...good freash pollen will get a very high count of seed.

...brush the pollen on the branches you'd like to have seeds on around week 2/3 of bloom....if you wait too long your seeds won't develope fully, brush the pollen onto the pistils of the female, then mist with h20.....good luck....I'm not willing to attempt it myself...lol, I freak out when I see a male plant...LOL:o

So what I did was chop all the internodes off the male except for 2, collecting the pollen sacks as I cut. I put the pollen sacs in a small glass jar and let them dry for a couple days with the lid off, and I put the male back in the flower room to see if he regenerates. Today I crushed the little sacs with a "pokie device" then carefully rubbed that device on a couple flower sites of one white berry clone. I guess all I can do now is wait.
wish me luck guys! ...heres some pic for a better understanding..

Well, www.bcseeds.com has it advertised 'for all you kush lovers':weed:. It also says the strain's genetics are skunk/afghani.. and I understand that kush originated in afghanistan, in the mountainous regions. The mother 'super shit' smells a lot like kush too, but I haven't yet seen or smoked any of her yet.:sad:
