I grew 2 Bubblelicious (The Real Strain) outside and three other of some High Grade I got this past spring. One of the Unknown type was a male and I disposed of him. Now one of the BB is male. It is only the 2nd day any "balls" have been visible so I know I have to act fast. But, I am not sure exactly what would be best. The are 7 feet tall and 3 feet apart. The other 2(unknown) are 25 feet away.

Should I cut it way down and pot it and put it inside my sunroom until it drops its pollen and then put it in a bag and put it over the branches I want to pollenate (1 unknown and 1 BB)?

I would really appreciate any advice and info concerning how long till they drop the pollen. Thanks in advance!kiss-ass

I was thinking about cutting it back to about half and taking it inside in a pot. Then taking a piece of the top and putting it in a cup and floating it in a bowl as well. (I read that on here before I asked but was afraid if it died and the bottom of the plant was dead I couldn't get any seeds at all)
Then I thought I would put a paper sack over each limb and shaking it each day a couple times and then doing the same to the females selected branch after each time I do it to the males. Does that make sense? I don't imagine it would take 3-4 days till these pods drop their pollen do they?:eyesmoke:

Just keep him a way from the feamales and it will be fine.

I have cut off all the branches off a male except 1 and collected pollen and used it. Easier then dinking with this huge plant spewing pollen all over the place.
