I think it was early in week 2. Tbh I didn't even think it would work because the pollen was just in a jar in a cupboard in my garage for 2 years. I don't think that's proper storage lol

Yes! Those nice plump white (or other colors) hairs are just looking for some pollen! Each one can create a seed. It is harder to pollinate a plant than you think. I was so frightened to expose the plant to pollen the first time that I only ended up with like 5 seeds. I was so angry!

:wall:

Things are better now.

It was only my second time making seeds. And my first time playing mother nature. The first time I made seeds I just let a male grow beside the female and killed it early after she started flowering and I got around 100 seeds. This time used a paintbrush and I only wanted a few. CC x WG I got 9 seeds. RevolverxWG I've only found 1 so far. And RevxSwampskunk I've only found 1 and it doesn't look quite
finished.

First time making crosses, pollinated by paintbrush with 2 year old pollen. candycane x white grizzly.
How do u store ur pollen? I dried mine thoroughly and mixed with flour and rice, then froze it. It was not viable for me 6 months later. If I could store and maintain viable pollen, then that opens up lots of new possibilities.

Edit: lol, saw where u just left it on a shelf and it stayed viable. That's crazy.
