I just saw an ad on here for someone selling pollen. Did one of you start it or did someone steal the idea? The stuff is really expensive $100-$1,000 for 1/10th of a gram but I guess pollen doesn't weigh much. IDK what 1/10 gram of pollen looks like, never tried to weigh it.

We have dispensaries and clone operations in the SF Bay Area like Dark Heart Nursery and I read somewhere that the next thing is going to be clones of males for sale.

I rip out male plants as they appear and put them into a cut-off gallon jug to flower in peace. I had seven males of Durban Poison x The Purps come up out of 20 sprouts. I sprout a lot and make a lot of seeds. I had one male that had purple flowers so I separated that one as seen in this pic. It's 18" tall and the dirt and roots sat in water for a week while it dropped pollen. I scoop it up and strain out the debris with a metal coffee filter. IMG_4373.JPG

My first pollen chuck at 6 weeks. Kens GDP(m) x (northern lights x skunk x haze)(f). Smell, hairs, and frost belong to the mom. structure, density and waxy leaf color belong to the dad. Finish time very close to GDP, maybe faster, i'm thinking 8 weeks is going to be the magic number. The mom was my first keeper ever. So far this looks like a new and improved version of a special throwback. Made these over a year ago, why did i wait so long to grow them out lol.P1000248.JPGP1000249.JPG

I pollinated the whole plant. That's from the bottom hf that I picked through so far.
I did similar outdoors to: The Purps (2), Cheese Quake, Querkle x 9LB (2), Quantum Kush, JOG Kush (2), Deep Purple (mother plant and three clones), and Purple DeathStar, a TGA tester strain-freebie ten-pack with purchase of a ten-pack of seeds here. Also have a very sad looking The True OG from feminized seeds. All were crossed by a Male Doctor Who. Then another male came along a month later to keep the generations separated at least for the initial ripe seeds that I picked which were for sure Doctor Who. The rest could be seeds from another nice male plant called Ripped Bubba from TGA. They were freely pollenated outdoors by one male at a time. Tons of seeds. Ruined most of the buds, but I love seeds. I have a CBD clone called Remedy with pink hairs which may have budded too late to create any seeds. I'm not growing large males. Once I ID the males they stay in small pots. The males I used came out of TGA seeds sprouted one at a time across ten or fifteen strains. I'm saving pollen from late started male plants grown outdoors. They got 8" to 18" tall growing and budding. A few males like Ripped Bubba and Doctor Who made it all the way to 3 gallon pots before showing sex under 18 hours of lights in veg five months ago before being kicked out due to Spring heat and no way to stop it without stupid amounts of electricity. I was stunting them to keep them manageable. Too much Cannabis fever. Too many plants. This plant looked fake to the handful of people who saw it. It was the
clone-only SFVOG Kush x ChemdawgIV from Kiloa Seed Co., HI and the leaves looked plastic and fake among ten+ plants standing around for pictures. It was never sprayed either. Not fertilized. Water only and dirt from the Happy Frog company. FullSizeRender 5.jpg

This one took some time to make. It's all somewhat random, but this one I did totally on purpose. It was first The Third Dimension grown from seed out of a ten pack. One was good and one was small, weak, powdery-mildew, slow, etc., but it cost $$ so I grew it out. It had the rotten/baby-poo/microbiological odor when it budded. I had seeds growing from crossing The Purps x Durban Poison, a licorice/anise/yuck odor IBL I've kept going since 2004 exclusively for crosses now. Its' smell permeates through dried buds and through strains. Not strong in THC either. I crossed a male from the same seeds as the weird plant above. (3D x PurpsxPoison) x (SFVOG x ChemIV) to make this very strong and complex smelling purple-tinged/grape tinted flavor favorite of them all. Out of 30 plants sprouted and club clones all budded. It grew big and fast with two other standouts, one was a clone only Blue Dream and the other Urkle x (SFVOG x ChemIV) home made. IMG_2782 2.JPG

Thanks man, If I had the space, and things were different here, I could see myself getting obsessed with breeding. To grow one out and see what the parents offered, and all the different combos possibilities. Much respect to those who take the time to work a line, and keep all those parents around to narrow down what they offer.

I'd always be happy to grow some out for you mate, likewise if I have anything you want to try too!!

I had another cat on a different site tell me kimbo kush was pathetic. I just laughed. I'm going to be starting my blueberry project soon still in the planning stages, so I will be hitting you up on tips.
