Yes you will want to do 12/12 still but you don't need more than a regular light bulb to get pollen

I often simply move the males by a South facing window and it's enough to get pollen even on the rainy coastal season. ( we just had rain 28 out of the last 31 days lol) I often forget to keep the blinds open... once they have showed sex you could almost keep them in the dark and u d get some lol

Didnt bodhi say something about using construction paper and then it's ready to be frozen too. That s the next thing I ll try... generally I use a magazine or whatever.I just grab a glass plate and bend the branches over it and give a shake

Every time I've tried to store pollen in the fridge or freezer bad stuff has happened. Sit it on a shelf in a non windy ,non dusty room and it will stay for quite a while .

Kimbo lives ? New strain or just kimbo kush, which wouldn't make sense because you also said nothing like testing your own gear and I know you didn't create kimbo so I'm confused ? Lol

I don't have to worry about it much yet I don't plan to grow a male for a few months ... got a healthy amount of new crosses to play with. I like the idea of the construction paper, can't wait to try it.

Lol kimbo kush X to animal cookies X joeseph OG is @greencropper is a cross he encouraged me to make. Kimbo lives was one of a couple names that I floated around and @genuity liked, so it stuck. Sorry bro.

Yip as soon as moisture gets it, its fucked for good. Have heard the same thing. Toss it off in a dark cabinet you should be fine for quite a while. Ive used pollen stored in fridge after a year, but it was full of rice as desiccant, and luckily moisture hadnt affected it

thats it bro, i cant/dont promise any results with my chucks...some turn out fire some turn out..hmmm?, but its all in the fun of the unexpected, its not vital every chuck has to be a hit, as long as one every now & then turns out good thats all that matters...+ heaps of beans to play with when that awesome cross is a success! btw that kimbo lives looks like a fantastic pheno, great gene combination there for sure!

Ain't that the truth. I grew a couple chucks last year of mine looked perfect had them in the back of the tent. When I went to harvest stuck my nose in to smell, there was no smell at all. I was devastated. But that was two girls. I finally grew a couple more bam got two stinkers right way. Now I know there is something better in them beans.
