as long as the clones aren't taken while flowering and they are in veg state they should be fine. if your worried about pollen being in the greenhouse just wash it after each batch of clones.
correct but you have to do it with a paint brush and in an area that has no fans going
no when you go to pollinate the colla and you could try 1 of the lower branches since its not gonna get big buds is that you have to do it in a diffrent area from your grow space because while doing that you can spread the pollen throught the place if there's any thing blowing the air around. Once you pollinated it you want to let it sit in that spot with light to make sure it doesn't get all over the place for maybe a couple or a few hours. I would do it for a day though to make sure it lowers the chances of going to the other plants so if the pollen goes to the other parts of that 1 plant its better then having more then 1 plant pollinated

I tried pollination for my first time yesterday, I noticed that my paint brush hairs were getting all sticky from the trichs and just making it a yellow sticky mess. Is this what happens to everyone? I wasn't even done pollinating 1 diesel ryder before it got all gunked up. What am I doing wrong?
i find this helps the pollen stick to the brush better.
you can dip the brush in the pollen and then lightly "tap" it over the top of the hairy bud. this way you don't get the bristles all gooey.

nicee, man i harvested some pollen that i was planning to use for this years outdoor season but i checked the little baggie and it molded up.. didnt let it dry. live and learn.
i dont wana say i want a male but if one pops up i wont let it go to waste

i do it just to be sure.
i wait "a couple days",
using the paint brush, i don't worry too much about loose pollen. i don't spray mine down.

Hey FDD, If I have a strain of autoflower I can only find in femmed, and I want to keep it as close to original as possible, should I just cross it with a lowryder?
that would be a good place to start.

Whats the best way to store pollen long term? I thought Ive read freeze with some silica to keep out moisture?
Also I wonder with autoflower plants if tight node spacing is good in a male. Cus I dont want runts, I want tall plants! I have two good males cant decide which to keep. One is stockier has bigger leaves, one is taller w smaller leaves, might be taller cus its ahead in flowering and stretched.
