Hey smidge I just read a post on storing pollen with wheat flower and rice? Dry out the wheat flour and rice in the oven at 125 for 8 hours, then mix in pollen. Store in test tubes, inside a jar with dried out flour/rice mixture in the bottom of jar. Keep jar in fridge.

I may try out this method.

Can anybody help me diagnos this, I had russets last year outside, I havnt really noticed until now but I'm getting some of the leaf cupping in my veg room, and in my flower room on my tops the hairs are receding. I remember last year it went from the bottom up and was a little different. So I'm a little unsure. The Rez for my flowering plant did get really low for a day or two and could have got really salty at the bottom and Mabey cause nute lockout or burnt her, any help would be appreciated thanks!

And I'm only 1 month into flower I don't think I should be seeing any receding hairs yet.

When in doubt flush them out, I recommend yucca. But before you do that go triple check your timers. Also, what are you putting in your res? Some things cause funky shit like this after 5 days in water, like snow storm. Doesn't look like russet damage to me, definitely looks like burn and stress. Walk into your room when it's blacked out and check for light leeks. And if you're feeding with nutrients older than 12 months I'd throw them out unless it's granular. Most nutrients have a batch number on them you can reference online to check the freshness.

Thanks man I lowered the ppm, but tonight I'll go with straight r.o water and get the flush going. And part of my zipper dosnt zip up so I do have a small light leak, I try to cover it with a box or two when lights are off so it dosnt let in any outside light.
I'm almost convinced it's nute burn after reading up on that.

I stored pollen for 5 months with rise and froze it and it was good.tryed the same pollen at 6 months and it was no good.i don't think keeping pollen over 5 months will keep at lease not for me.

I know a guy who has stored his pollen for over a year just in a dry dark cupboard (top shelf in the pantry for this particular guy) he just kept it in an envelope and the envelopes in an airtight container with a layer of rice in the bottom.
