alright this is the trick.. This is not my first or last run.. I have kept males but never pollinated them.. but its not always easy for me to get cuts.. so in order for me to keep a strain I have to save a mom, or try to reveg if you look at my pics the big plant is a revegged mom.. Thats why I want seeds
With that said, I have done alot of research on breeding but not only cannabis. I had a beautiful hybicus plant that I could not clone I tried and tried, but never did I get any roots? so I tried to figure out how the f*ck does a plant in the wild that doesnt produce seeds regenerate? lol.. I still dont know..
But yes the trick is to build a seperate room that can hold your male plant or plants.. because they produce pollin before the females have a chance to flower.. so in the long run if you keep your females and males in the same room. it will be out of wack. I think thats how you end up with hermies and bullshit seeded plants the key is to control the male, like in raising cattle you only keep your biggest, strongest and healthiest bull.. well its the same concept with MJ.
Thus this being said. let me make it clear you dont need any badass hps's or MH's to get pollin from the male. Just good genetics. That is the main factor here! So you can build a little box that is vented OUTSIDE your grow room.. and then collect the pollin from the males and it stays good if refridgerated or frozen for a long time. Just as seeds would.. but I would not test that..lol..
And I have seen the pollin applied at the early stages of flower.. so of course it would probably be better to use a long flowering sativa to use as a female.. the first couple of pictures in my journal of the large flowering plants are sour thia, and amneshia haze.. And from the source which I got the clones, had told me those strains could take up to 200 days in flower. I maybe wrong and he will probably comment if I am.. ASS HOLE J/k man..
