Catching Pollen

This is my 1st male from some good bagseed, ive looked up alot about how to catch pollen and this looked like the easiest way

(i tried putting a ziplock bag over a branch but the bag got all wet and had condensation on the inside so the pollen woulda been no good anyway)

heres some pics

Just be real careful with that water level. It will drink fast so you will have to refill that one with the short stem often. I use bigger cups for the water and longer cuts on my stem to avoid having to disturb it once I've set it up, just to gather the pollen at the end.

Good luck

thanks man, it came out good and i pollinated my female, now i have some top 69 X unknown strain seeds



im calling it top 36

How do you store the pollen? Could I refridgerate it and wait for a clone to veg for an other 3months?

I just did the same thing and my sacks opened. I have some lovely pollen now, how long do I wait to pollinate the buds I want to? Currently the buds are about 1/2 inch big ... the girls have been in flower since 8/1.

some people store it in an air tight container in the fridge, and some just keep it in a cool dark place. i preferably keep them in a cool dark place because my fridge builds up too much condensation. and make sure whatever you put it in is NOT see through, if any light hits the pollen it will be weaker and of no use after a while

i would say pollinate them asap the quicker you do it the more good fully developed seeds you will i have i usually pollinate 2 weeks into flower so your right in time so start now and make sure you dont harvest until the seeds are brown and fully developed, keep me updated

You said "start now" does this mean I keep pollinating the buds or just once will do? Any particular time of day or night?

pollinate every day and no it doesnt matter what time but i pollinate once a day until my pollen is gone and by that time the seeds are already starting, not sure if you actually have to keep pollinating, but i just do it to be safe
