Question for the breeders

I have eight plants from bagseed currently growing under 6500K CFLs 18/6 and which will be switched to 2700K 12/12 in another week or so. Two of the plants are from different bags of good nug and if either or both turn out to be males I might want to put the pollen on a promising female to produce some hopefully good seeds for the next grow.

My question is, if I collect pollen and put it on only one branch of a flowering female, will that stop production of flowers and trichs on the rest of the plant? If I wait until harvest time, remove all but one branch and then apply pollen will that remaining branch produce viable seeds?

Thanks in advance for your input.

No to first question. Yes to 2nd. GL

Thanks, bioWheel.

I have done what you propose many times in the past with no serious problems. If you have a separate room for vegging, you should move the male to that room first. You can leave it in that room for several days in the 18 hour cycle and the male flowers will still ripen normally so you can make the cross on your own time schedule. You could use something like an Altoids tin to bring the pollen into the bud room and you could use an ultra fine artist brush to transfer the pollen.

Cheers
