Im breeding with a sick oger99 male and a really nice unknown female that is super dank. I want to pollinate her now because she is running out of time for pollenation (4 1/2 weeks flowering). Anyway can the cluster of unopened balls be broken open and used?

It helped a little but all the pics were unavailable to see what he was doing, anyone else know about breaking opened male balls that havn't opened yet to get pollen ?

If you have to cut sacks open, then i'm not sure if that pollen is viable or not. Male plants only need a few weeks max until they're dropping pollen. Plus, seeds take roughly 6 weeks to develop nicely so given your time frame, you may not have time for beans this round.

Yeah sounds about right, exactly my thoughts, thinking of pollinating the lower popcorn guys and harvest the big ones then let it go for a while and see what comes from that.

i tried breaking the pollen sacs if its still unrippen and not ready to open its useless, since the pollen is still wet. try picking out flower that is about 80% opening when it has the dropping effect. check out a few sacs ull know what im talking about.
