Hi people, this is my first post in this forum and I'm sorry for starting here reposting and reviving an old thread but and I think you might find it useful as I did! The only think I've done is reuploding de the images that were lost! I found them in another forum while I was searching more info! :mrgreen:
As I said before, I just reuploaded the images, all the credit is for https://www.rollitup.org/members/videoman40-3938.htmlvideoman40 the author of de tutorial! As soon as my pollen collection finishes I'll upload some pick of mine! :eyesmoke:

I've been reading alot here lately about males and pollen. I wanted to share with you how I was taught to collect the male pollen, so you dont have to continue buying yr seeds.

There is no need to pollenate a whole grow, this will allow you to selectively pollinate some of your lower bud sites and have seeds without infecting your entire grow. Sorta like having your cake and eating it too.

I do hope that some of you will use this to continue the lines of cannibis we all know and love, strong.

First off... the cutting.... the top of any male you're about to compost....



Next, the set-up, a plastic beer cup, with a hole in the bottom... a glass cup to hold some water....


pop him in...


And into the water cup....


All done.... the nice thing here is, you pop him into a window sill and he'll continue along on his mery way... as he comes to term, the pollen will collect in the bottome of the cup, a tap or 2 every so often can speed the process.... let him go as long as you wish to collect or he finishes....

Collect it all in a film canister... sit it in the window sill for a day or so to make sure it's good and dry and remove the flowers with tweezers..... add some rice to keep dry for storage and you have it... life in a bottle...


Enjoy...

That's it people! In a couple of weeks I'll show you how this works out for me!
Good luck! :mrgreen:

I'd like to see more people doing this, I just finnished my first batch of fem seeds. Good job!! Reps.
How did you get fem seeds? Do you need to stress a fem until it turns into a hermaphrodite and then cross it with another fem? Or you just need to cross it with it self?

PS: Sorry if I have many grammatical mistakes, this is a foreign language for me! =]

How long does pollen store for? All my plants are 2-3 weeks away at least from being ready to seed, but I have a male loaded to the gills with pollen outside I just started collecting. And this should be common sense for most people, but word to the wise, put your cuttings in a shaded window, direct hot son just wilted half of mine in maybe less than 10 minutes.

Luckily this male outside is a huge fucking beast.

Was thinking of making an auto from a regular as well, maybe my HD fruity, Darkstar, or Chocolope... maybe 2 of em.
