How do you mean "keep them"
Sorry im mean the pollen
its amazing what they can live through, then its amazing what they dont live through too, many people believe weed is a tough plant, i think its not that at all
Harvest the pollen...dry the pollen...put it in a airtight and lighttight container put a few grains of dryrice into the container aswell to take eventual moister to prevent molds.... put it into a freezer.
Yeah I thought that same thing. I ran out of soil the other day . So I dunked my rootball in water until the soiled dissolved. Then I put it in hydro. I thought to myself how can I do this with no problems but we can overwater in soil. Shits weird sometimes.
Thanks they tell me i should add some wheat to the pollen too do you think it will help for moisture?
there seems to be large differences in quality of males from 1 to another, its possible that an early pollen male can be as good as a latter pollen boy, but i like to sample each male by smoking a few leaves taken from approx same place on each plant, also i look for plant vigour & structure as a basis of male selection, like anything...dont accept the first thing that comes along...though its possible that first thing could still be the best of the bunch too.. i dont select really late bloomers even if its the best, i would select the next best earlier bloomer..unless of course its one of those very rare boys thats filthy with resin, then the rules change just for that special 1
Right on. Makes sense.
i snip the leaves when the male is about 1/3rd into its flowering cycle, i guess you could snip the leaves at any stage if you did the same with all males concerned, though the rare resinous males usually wont exhibit their real resin potential until latter in their bloom cycle, ive only seen a few serious resin producing males but ive not grown the vast selection that many RIU members have, & some ive read here have noted quite a few obvious resin producing males in their breeding programs
Yes but you want it realy bonedry.

Some people say the first male brings it more towards hemp rather than drug.
