u only need one male to pollinate a whole shit load of females. you could separate them males (or only save your biggest and best male) from the females and when the pods bursts, collect the pollen from the pods themselves of them the leaves they fell onto by brushing them into something like a film canister. then u can deposit them to individual buds with a q tip perhaps so that only some buds will produce seeds while the rest will remain good sensimellia bud. maybe only a single bud on your best plant will give u a good amount of seeds for your next plant, and if they both have good genetics and are from the same straign bag then they should produce maybe some bigger and better plants. who knows alot of that i read out of The Cannabis Grow Bible and picked up reading other places and id like to try it. maybe you could. i was gonna try white widow X mazarxafghan if this plant im growing now is a male. we shall see!

i have a vile that some savia came in. i was thinking about keeping a gram of pollen and putting it on a small hempstar branch and see what happens. def i'm keeping the pollen so i wont need males to produce seeds. also figure these lr2s are always from seed so 50/50 males and females. instead of rockwool cubes next time i'm going to use just the 1 inch rockwool plugs in clay pellets and that way when i get a male i'm not really throwing anything out. i was always wondering what to do with dozens of used cubes. cant wait to try it. im also putting tinfloil trays under the plnts to catch pollen and seeds that fall. can't wait to see hundreds of seeds paid a small fortune for. i'll send some out depending on how many i get. seeya. off to bed.

i'm going to get it asap. heard its great. i think the store will have it next time i'm there. not sure how much i'll use the pollen i collect but its worth saving some. i'm putting pie plates under my plants to catch all the seeds and pollen but i don't even know when a male drops his pollen. we'll find out i guess. These things better start budding fast if i'm going to get a decent yield. only 40 days left. I think i'll get some flowering bulbs right now. seeya

Goodluck 1982grower, my ak-47 are filling out real nice, the calyxes are swelling up in spots allover the main buds, the trichomes are spreading like crazy, Im startingto think that I might get less than an ounce off of each plant,because the buds are really airy, and will shrink alot, Wish me luck bro!!!

luck wished man. they'll fill up, just use the force. i bought another fixture today but have to wait till tuesday to get my 3000k bulbs. but for now i'll use the 6500k she gave me. If they were airy this time than you know next time you'll do better. also if you don't have a cooltube get one. never new how great they were until my homemade 1 worked for 10 minutes. lol. i put the 3 150hpss right on top of the plants and no heat at all. thatll fill out your buds. theyve really gotten cheap now also. Also decided that i cant afford to be wasting money all the time so as soon as the hempstar are done the hpss will go into the top of the wardrobe with some crazy venting. Plus all the talk of hps vs t5 makes me really want to do it. I want some quick huge yields to get me going. if i could get 3 pounds before summer i would die. but thats thinking a little to far ahead. i wish these things had seeds on them now so i could start the second floor now. my lrs are starting to gain some height today also. they'll densen up. everyday makes a little more buds.

oh its that bad and much worse! but honestly i never planned on keeping this obviously. i am going to make a nice 1 like the drawing. guess i'll use the thick glass. but man i had the plants right under the lights man

man it worked perfect. but on the real homemade 1 i'll blow the air straight through. the bends make a difference but it worked as good as a real 1. the air blowing out the window was def hot as hell. so it worked fine. but if i wasnt going to bed rigt then i would get the glass cut properly and do it like my drawing. you could put it 1 inch over the plants. just use tempered glass. best thing i'll ever do. i could get all 3 in the cabinet with it. but trust me get good tempered glass. plus i noticed no loss of light through the glass. it was ghetto good for 10 min.

the only place i know is that guy with the free peices. the other store said they could make it but it would take time. the free piece is about 1/4 inch and heavy. honestly i'm an idiot for not taking it. the only reason i didnt is because it had a tiny tiny hole drilled through it and although you wouldnt guess it i'm a perfectionest. but now i realise it wouldnt even matter and it was perfect. i'll get it on sat. and he assured me it can handle the heat. i checked out cheap aquariums and they arent tempered unless they say. but walmart has 1 for 30 bucks thats tempered. the non tempered are half the price. def do it but do it right. its cheap anyways. i'll def build the proper 1 with hose mounts and all that from home depot. i'll get an inline fan also. maybe one for each end for double the airflow. even if you have to pay top dollar for the glass its cheap and you really could build a nice 1 with double the 1 hour mine took to make. cant wait. id love to get everything in the cabinet so i can tidy this place up. but do it for sure. plus it makes it quieter for me

no. wanted the kali mist but it gets huge. i looked it up and its the top sativa in the world right now. i wanted a cheese strain and these english guys wer talking about them but they are from clone only so i cant get them. honestly i think a week or 2 before the hempstars finish i'll get a coloured strain. hopefully bright blue or something. might do purple haze or blueberry. def gonna do something exotic. you gotta try a coloured strain some day. i never have yet. i'll check the store for a coloured strain. oh yah. forgot. the reason i havnt thought about that is i'm counting on the lr to be good. if they dissapoint then i'll look. are you going to look for something?
