Those are ready to pop open anyday now!! Keep a close eye on the .... What you can do it lay tin foil around the plant so that all the pollen that falls can be collected...
Another week or so and more than one of those will be wide open.. remember that you dont need much !! a couple of sacks will do the job!
Make sure to have ready females to pollinate because i tryed the freezing pollen technic and it didnt work AT ALL.. Maybe my pollen was to fresh and i freezed it too early.. or freezing it ruined it .. i dont know .. but the plants i tryed to cross, produced no seed what so ever...


Enjoy,

Good growing...

Peace out

Smart man. hope you already cut them. Dont want pollen all over your grow room.

Make sure to leave the glass jar with the lid off to let them dry. Then you can crush them a little to get the rest of the pollen. Then just sort out plant material from pollen and store it. Great sticky in the Advanced MJ Cult room called Seed production. a tutorial.
