Sup rollitup,
Decided to share my breeding project with yall. The male donor will be a sour diesel male from Apothecary Genetics. It's a bushy guy that had a very good structure. It's smell was skunky and diesely. It's pollen production was insane, my catchers were needing to be emptied every 12 hours. Here's some pics of him
And here is a pic of the pollen collected, with the flour I used to dilute it.

Give me an hour and I'll post the girls' pics and pics of how I pollinated them

Ok now the girls, we have 4 Humboldt seed org blue dreams, 2 sativa phenos and 2 indica phenos (pictured on pairs), a Samsara Seeds Green Love Potion, Delicious seeds Cheese Candy, and the sister of the male, an Apothecary Genetics Sour Diesel.

I then covered all the branches that I did not want to pollinate accidently (don't worry they won't suffocate they'll only have spent about 20 mins like this)

One at a time I carried them to the bathroom for pollination.

Next the pollinated area is covered,

Then the black bag is removed after wiping myself down with a wet rag. I then sprayed the plant hoping the water would kill any stray pollen. (As well as the soil, pot and area around pot).

All the pollinatef branches were tagged. Then back into the room they go, with 3 or 4 other plants that weren't good looking enough for me to include in this project.
The pollination was done on day 28 of flower. All these girls are 63 to 70 day strains so we should have plenty of time for the seeds to mature. Now all I gotta do is hope I did a good job of isolating the pollination to one branch per plant.

Cool technique for collecting the pollen I haven't seen that before good luck with your project

Looks like a fun project ! Are u growing out the seeds right away or saving them once you make them?

I'm gonna do both. Have a stash of seeds and grow some out to see what creations I've made.

Update:
It's been 6 days since pollination. Tell me if yall think I got s successful pollination. I think I got some bud sites but others look less insiminated.
Also any ideas how to get the excess flour off would be great. I've tried spraying it off, letting it dry and blowing it off or brushing it off with my fingers but it's like stuck to the trichomes.

Definitely have some seed production going on

And here's an unpollinated branch from the same plant.

Thanks. Do you know if, here in a few weeks when the seeds are tiger stripe mature, can I pop them immediately or do they have to dry for a while?

Hi man I wouldn't want to give out advice that I'm not 100% sure on but if you pop over to the indoor growing section Theres a thread called club 600 and I'm sure someone in there will answer any questions you have regarding seeds.

Seeds are producing rapidly, I'd say I did a good job of selectively pollinating as well. Here are so.e shots of the pollinated branch and the closest branch to that area.

Anyone know if the seeds have to dry put for a couple weeks? Or just until the bud around it is dry? People mostly talk about how to store them after, not how quicjly you can use them. I could only find opinions on the matter, not facts.

From what Ive seen and read here on riu most people like to leave them atleast 30days before germinateing
