Nice. I've got a stout bodhi male black raz doing it's thing.

Anyone doing outdoors pollination that could give some advice? I've got a touch of pm that I'd like to get under control but my go to 'FlyingSkull' pm fighter has some citric acid. Plants have brown pistils and the male has be releasing pollen for a few weeks. Will the citric acid retard seed growth or have any negative effects anyone reckon?

Cool to see bees collecting pollen from my male. Had both bumble and honey bees in the patch. I wonder what an all cannabis pollen honey would taste like? I know there's clover honey, wildflower honey etc. This guy was helping the pollen fly while he visited

Have you used this male before hopefully it passes those huge flower clusters on

Citric acid probably won’t do much to the seeds. You should be fine. I’m pollinating outdoors and indoors both. I usually go aggressive and cut off any PM I see and I do a foliar of southern Ag fungicide right before flower starts to set which seems to work great.

Bees love Cannabis, my neighbor has a dozen hives that come over to my property because of the smorgasbord of pollen. I have a decent size orchard and normally the bees are all over that creating apple blossom honey which is very fine stuff. However since I started throwing girls outdoors the bees are always all over it. Gotta be addicted to those terps I bet. That and the plant has lots of sugars in it.

Good to kno
Is the envelope so pollen doesn’t blow on other branches? I used a clear large freezer bag right after and next day spray with water to wash pollen off seems to work pretty good.
that's what I think it's for, and because paper should not condense water. I tried a plastic bag once and condensation collected which i worried would kill the pollen so i aborted. nice to know you got it to work though. idk how long the pollen needs to be there. i still turned fans off except for an exhaust. i'll turn fans back on after 3 days. maybe i should spray wash with water too after removing lopes :)

4 hours is plenty and more to get the job done. I remove the plant, dust with little cheap paintbrush, then leave it 4 hours and thoroughly spray with water spray bottle and return to tent when mostly dry. Always move extremely slowly during the dusting, stirring the air as little as possible. Once brushed on, the pollen stays put and is then killed with the water spray.
Keep it away from moving air when pollinating.
oh, that would be better but i can't remove my plants.

Dankonomics had been tearing this guy up lately on IG for trying to find like he was growing back in the day underground lol. I got a few chuckles out of it.

I dont get it. Are folks upset that a kid half their age have done way more than they have? Or was Mass medical saying he's been growing forever? As far as I understood Mass was not a long time grower but had some skills.

I think dank was calling him out for making it sound like "back in the day" we did it this way. Dudes been successful since he was a teen in multiple ventures. I think he just pulled the wrong cords on some of the old school boys.

That makes sense.

No, people are pissed that he has propped himself up to be someone that he isn’t, using and renaming others stuff and calling it his own with multiple breeders. there’s a long list of stuff that’s not ok with this dude. Using MMS in crosses from here on out by other breeders is swimming in an extremely murky genepool. No thanks.

I think we can leave the mms drama out of here honestly. Certain things should be known and we can move on with a clearer picture of what was going on here. I know many seed banks were put in awkward situations with this. Many of us have mms in our collections possibly. People are shitty and do shitty things, and attitudes of breeders can be overlooked but ethics cannot. Misrepresentation of yourself is one thing, misrepresentation of the plant is inexcusable. Good night and good riddance.
