Do you usually douse the whole plant or just a branch?

This is where you cross over into philosophy a little, if you have a heavily pollinate a branch it will take longer for those seeds to develop than if you lightly pollinate so ultimately it depends on how many seeds you’re trying to make but it would be less stress on the plant if you spread it out a little bit and they will develop faster. It will slow the plants ripening a bit as well but less so if pollinated early. My personal opinion is that better seeds are made later in flower but then you have to let the seed ripen despite how ripe the flower is.

Ok cool thanks for info I’ve been hitting a branch per plant I tryed early and mid flowering this time.

Forgive me because I'm still new to this breeding game, but I thought it was between days 20-30 in flower were best to hit on between weeks 3 and 4 of flower and then wait 6-7 weeks for seeds to ripen and finish. Is the later in flower outside of this window?
Thanks

Little outdoor seed plot update. Everything is just growing like how they do. The outdoor season sucks ass around here but going off the females triggering I would guess these should be done no later then 2nd week of October around these parts. Totally workable for seed making unless it was some crazy sativa at least. All but one female is backed up and in coco now. I think the last lady will throw roots but if not I’ll take a few more cuts. The resin male isn’t showing roots in the dome yet but I took the cut later than the rest and he look healthy. My 2nd favorite male is rooting, he’s the stockier guy in the front.View attachment 4671555View attachment 4671556View attachment 4671557View attachment 4671558

Little tree fell and took out the back spot right behind the plants, almost knocked out some of the plot! All the males are pretty much fully open except for the resin male. I’ll bag and chop him in a few days to collect. The clone of the resin male rooted, hopefully I can revert it to veg but I’ll have some dust collected either way. These are all Cali king f1’s except the paler colored female in the front, that’s a topanga lemon #7 cut. 5FA2B0BC-725E-469B-9675-45395A29766D.jpegBA4D1A0E-EE56-481D-9ED0-9A4307CE2C84.jpeg6615F88C-7847-4852-A4CD-B7826529D929.jpegEF28E39D-26A0-4122-8B2E-48DFDB1BDEAB.jpeg

Does any breeder sell things like feminized f2 or further gens? I plan on making f2 fems of topanga lemon at some point and I might hunt a bunch of Cali king f2s in the future. Find two winner females and reverse one to the other and maybe visa versa. Is it problematic to work a line thru fem generations for any particular reason? Just seems like a good idea to me but I don’t see anybody doing it.

Found someone doing it, with a landrace no less.E00329E3-491D-41A4-A9A9-E7D0E287A59A.jpeg

here goes, trying the envelope method. used a paintbrush too but not sure i got much on them. would love one day to surgically pollinate but this is it for now. figure i'll leave in the envelope for 3 or 4 days.

chucked uncle sid stuff on a few, including this bud of maui waui x (candida x ethiopian). uncle sid seeds so far gave me 2 hermies a male and 2 girls, but the girl smells great and sure is strong.p1.JPGp2.JPG

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.

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.

The next time I pollinated a plant I used the kitchen trash bag with TGA Jillybean pollen sealed around a large branch/cola. Shook vigorously several times over an hour then removed the bag and misted the plant with water.

This was the plant - Holy Smoke Mulanje Gold mainlined for 16:

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
