Afghani.
Am I seeing a lot of milky and amber trichs or am I just getting impatient?

Seeds on purpose or accident?I see seeds!!
Im in love with that whole process i wanna learn how to make my own seeds and things of that nature..do you freeze and of the branches with the pollen for future use or anything? I applaud you btw lolSeeds on purpose. The male was very similar to this female in structure, but a fair bit bigger and with aromas out of this world. So off to the backyard he went to grow out lots of pollen sacks. About 2 weeks into flower, I chucked some pollen at her.

Love the clarity of the photos too!!!Seeds on purpose. The male was very similar to this female in structure, but a fair bit bigger and with aromas out of this world. So off to the backyard he went to grow out lots of pollen sacks. About 2 weeks into flower, I chucked some pollen at her.

Im fine with it!!! So the yellowish residue is the pollen correct? So after its in the wax paper how do you store it or whats the process for keeping the pollen usable in the future?I spent 3 days collecting the pollen when it was at it's best, warm sunny days and the pollen sacks were really coming along. I have a way of gently breaking them over wax paper and collect purely the pollen. I contemplated adding a bit of flour to pull out any remaining moisture but I figure I will use the pollen within 4 - 5 months so not too worried about it.

but my apologies at this point I've hijacked this thread
What happened to the fans ?Any opinions on how much longer i should let this blue pyramid autoflower go before harvest?
So you dont freeze it or anything just leave it sealed up? Do you keep it in darkness or any thing specific at all? Im still new at this ive only grown one other plant it was a gorilla glue auto now im doing blue pyramid and cheese auto but i just ordered some gorilla cookies from expertseedbankI fold the wax paper over the pollen and then seal it in masking tape.
just went and took a pic of my little packages of it for you

Ok folks, go ahead and make fun of me, I used Crop King genetics
(cut me some slack I'm just getting back into this after 8 years hiatus)
jeez, I hope I'm going to remember how to trim
I dont sit in rooms with HID lights inspecting plants for long. It's easier to take a bud when close to harvest time and inspect it outside of the room under direct fluorescent lighting. You can try to troll all you want ans pick apart peoples advice, but I'll carry on.I usually dont remove parts of the plant to inspect them....
I always defoliate a little bit just to open up for more light penetration and i have no issues i do go very very light if any on a feeding schedule though i use ocean forest and both my plants are exactly 11 weeks today and the blue pyramid is so close to finish then my cheese auto is still a ways away before shes readyWhat happened to the fans ?
Autos only need about 90 days of life average , so skinning them can at times just causes it to drag along as autos really hate stressors.
Also , breeder harvest times are always off. Autos finish better going between 9 / 10 weeks .
How long does it take from that stage you just described before your actually producing good seeds?Sorry failed to mention yes it's in a spare freezer I have in the basement. As I'll need them I will take one packet out, there are about 6 with about a 1/5g of pollen each.
I might make a whole afghan line crossing it with other strains I have here. years ago I crossed Masterkush with White Widow, but that got kaiboshed by other projects.
When you pollenate them doesnt it cause the potency to go down or the thc percentage?It can take quite a while. I have a clone of the girl pictured above. I'll pop a few from this batch and see if there is a really standout pheno in there. Do that a few runs and see if you get consistency. Just keep selecting the juiciest girls and then let them get some pollen from one of the nicer, stinkier males.
The seeds should already be fairly good. As long as I can avoid hermies, and the plant keeps yielding this oh-so yummy bud, which has a distinct Welche's grapey aroma
