I need to know the best way to keep pollen viable. I've only heard to keep it dry & store it in the freezer, tightly sealed. Will this work? How long will it stay viable this way? I want to use some Satori (Mandala Seeds) pollen to hit up some Blue Hawaiian females in the future. Any one know about this?

- dry a bunch of unbleached flower in the oven at about 225 degrees, spread out on tinfoil
- mix one part pollen to three parts of the dry flower
- buy some black 35mm film canisters from a camera/photography store
- label the canisters
- throw the canisters into a ziploc bag, store in freezer

I have pollen stored in the freezer, fridge and in a fireproof safe under my bed. After a year, they all are still viable.

Hi I found this on the Breeders Paradise section that I thought might help.

Not bad, got hit this time with a bit of mag. def, but it's well on the way to recovery now. Doing 00 Seeds Chocolate Skunk, Nordens Nordic Jack. RQS Special Queen female Lemon Kush.. Next grow is Mandala 1, but I want to hit it with some KC Brains Sweet Dreams pollen, so was checking up about pollen and I remembered your post !
Nice to see u around, friend !
