You arent supposed to give it to them dude.. here in AZ they punch a hole in your ID making it useless. I just say " I lost mine a few months back" or show up with a Passport.

i have been retired for a few years now and unless i have to go somewhere, i start getting high soon after i wake up.
i had a meeting at 1:30 today so i didn't get my first buzz until just now (3:15ish).
i forgot how good my reefer really is. i have this beautiful buzz on. i'm too spoiled. i need to appreciate the fruits of my labor more!

Fatboy, were you interested in selling seed? If not I wouldn't mind learning about how you go about collecting seed. I had collected a healthy amount of Pineapple Kush pollen... then something happened and it disappeared >.< Right now I have some stored in a sealed container with sterilized flour and silica packets with it. Never bred nor had an interest until the past couple months. Now I've been bit by the bug.

howdy.
no, i'll never sell seeds. when/if it's legal for me to do so, i'll pass some out to folks.
i did a grow awhile back where i used paintbrushes to pollinate. it may be interesting to you. this will also show some of my genetics:

i like that you have saved some pollen. in all my years i have never done that! DOH! i'll have to give that a try next round.
i have some pollen saved as well in a film canister in my fridge. dont know how long its good for. the strain was very early flowering with sativa dominant high and a shorter structure. i been thinking about impregnating my tangerine dream which is a monster sativa dom with a huge stretch and an extremely long flower. hopefully the hybrids can exhibit a mix of the two traits.
fatboy what do you find when you breed? do you get a wide variety of phenos? any tips on when in the flowering cycle would be optimal times. i am thinking around week 3-5 seeing as the TD takes 10+ weeks.

go for it! pollinate a few of the lower buds. it can't hurt and you might make something special!
i've thought about when to impregnate a few times. as a tiny bit of pollen goes a long way, i wait until i see some budlets forming and paint a few of the lower ones with some pollin. the seeds don't take very long to mature, but the sooner you get started the better. 3 weeks after flower is about right. the buds don't have to be very large at this point. when they grow up, they will be full of seeds.
my favorite way of pollinating, is taking the male pod when it looks like it's about to pop, and rolling it between my fingers right over a bud. the pollin falls right where you want it to. i leave the pollin on, without disturbing the plant, for 15 mins or so (the pollin probably impregnates immediately but i wait just in case), then i take a watering can or spray bottle and water down that whole area of the plant to wash out any remaining pollin and then put the plant back into the flower room about 1/2 hour later. again, i'm just being really cautious.
sometimes i get seeds that grow plants that look almost identical (my S.A.G.E. and apollo 13 are good examples of this). time after time, you can easily pick out these genetics with a glance. not much difference in the high from plant to plant. with other genetics, super silver haze for example, i have several phenos, which is what i'm looking for with this genetic. 3 different looks and highs. i do have some F2s that are simply not as good as the parent plant. the F1s grow out and i love the high. i mean LOVE! i grow out the seeds and i never find that great high again. good high yes, great high, no! it's very annoying.
all you can do is pick what looks like a good male. i crush a leaf and smell it. i don't use males that are big and beautiful. that big, beautiful, woody male, will get you woody plant producing seeds. i want a bud producer with a quality high. it's hit and miss unless you get so into the breeding that it's obsessive. there's no fun in that!
i re-read that thread mentioned above. man that was some sweet bud. the swiss bliss is a good example of a couple of the F1 plants being stunning and never being able to find that plant again. i have a bunch of seeds though so i hope to find her again someday. my swiss bliss is a nice high, not a great one like their moms.

nice!
i was wandering through my seed stash and just realized that i kept some seeds separate. like, i had 2 phenos of the swiss bliss i loved. i bred both and now have one bag of seeds with a mix of a few swiss bliss plants, one bag from the best smelling and one bag from a good smelling but heavy yeilder. i did the same with some other genetics back in the day too. i should read my labels more often! lol
crap! i have notes like; "from swiss # 2". "from ssh #3". slight problem, i don't like keeping notes and truly believe (while i'm sitting there high as a kite) that i'll remember what it was about swiss #2 that i liked! i actually made some cryptic notes about these but lost them in the great computer crash of 2010! bad news, i lost some good notes, good news i got a new computer!

We need to have a fundraiser for fatboy and get him a bad ass external hard drive or a cheap ass thumb drive, lol. It's very encouraging to hear how many folks I am around that know what they are doing and have the same morals as I do. Kudos to all y'all!nice!

Go get your license and start growing! We will show you the way!
welcome, its always nice to see a new grower on here. i think you may be mistaken as there are no dispensaries open now. if you are new to growing i highly suggest spending some time in the newbie section or general growing. there is a vast expanse of others' knowledge and experience to draw upon. welcome to the community. if you have any questions ask and someone will answer.

Thank u all for the warm welcome. I had a grow going here is tthe link.
https://www.rollitup.org/cfl-growing/463578-my-first-indoor-grow.html
I had to move it do to mother-in-law and they died was just bag seed. All I could get at the time.
I use an app on my phone and it showed open disp. In the east vally it could be wrong. I was under the understanding no new disp. Could open but ones open could still stay open. I could be wrong I'm stoned all the time.

No dispenseries at all right now. Just groups that call themselves "Compassion Clubs" that sell 400 dollar ounces... Not so affordable for someone suffering from chronic pain. Your best bet dude is to get your license ASAP and make friends with a care giver so he can supply you with meds.
