Blue Dream, such a slut, skeeting all over those plants.

Really love Blue Dream, about to pick a Banana Kush x Blue Dream
Unfortunately for me, it looks like it is going to yield like the Banana Kush and not like the Blue Dream
them's the breaks with pollen chucking

How far along are your males in flowering?
How old was the male?
I don't have any males left.

I have a closet that I was using with a 150w HPS.
No fan and closed door.

I collected pollen from the males over the course of 1 month.

One male at a time got it's pollen harvested. And then the males were thrown out.

I am not just letting a male pollinate my females. I am painting pollen on the pistils, one plant at a time,
OUTSIDE of the tent so no unwanted pollination occurs.

my males varied in age. Some started to produce in as little as 2 weeks from the time they should sex.
Within a week of collecting multiple times a day, they were then ready for the trash.

Any more questions?

Oh any also I should add.. The pollen used on the pictured buds above was feminized Blue Dream pollen from a female, not a male.

No clue.. planted end of July i believe.

I wasn't timing them at all. I just collected the pollen as it was shed and then culled my males one by one.

GDP was the youngest.

All were grown out long before I knew they were male. I thought only the GDP was a male when I first started collecting pollen.

Yeah, just kept hearing such mad things about Nirvana seeds.. Never really jumped on the strain.

Maybe I'll add it to the long list of new strains I am going to run.

It's not so much snagged orders. But I have heard bad about their shipping.

It's mainly their genetics are dwindling down to a horrible standard.. What they think is good enough is not actually good enough.

Many seeds not germinating, or not sprouting after germination..

I'll have to make sure I keep an eye on them. Maybe they are working to fix things. or maybe they have just seen the cash flow and don't care about anything else anymore.
