Yeah more than long enough for sure, specially open pollinating it like that. I've been letting them sit at least 3-4 hours. Most are fine with a couple of hours, but I found a couple of phenos that wouldn't take and had to let them sit longer. The Blue Pyramid is one of those, I let that one sit overnight now to make sure it takes. I'd tried hitting it a coupe of times with 2-3 hours and nothing. Viable pollen that I knew was good, once I let it sit overnight and it took fine.

thats good to know. i have not run into a strain that required longer sitting, but based on your info i will let my unbreeded females sit longer from now on.

Cheers, it's a bitch hitting that odd pheno and getting nothing out of it so it's worth the extra time I think. Just like hitting the odd dud/impotent male, I've had that too.

Cool, thanks. That sums it up. That's what I'm doing is open pollenation. Just solos or 1 gals. 1 male per tent under a Mars Hydro, 2 little tents dedicated to flowering a male (3 weeks or so) and having females over for a 1 night stand. Clones of what's running basically. Then finish out under CMH. That's the plan. Clones kept and culled as necessary for every selected male and running female.

Sounds like a good process, the cups or 1gal pots are more than enough when open pollinating a clone, you'll get a ton of seeds.

i lay black construction paper out under my male plants. assuming its a single plant or strain. i collect from there and i usually hold black construction paper under a branch or 3 and shake it lightly.

shower or mist yourself before you visit your females

I could try that in conjunction I suppose, but I had only one space and I tossed in a plant that hermed. I was semi worried about contamination
 
Gals at the back at day 41/~6 weeks. Good shot of the Blue Harley and Columbian Ripper. Smelling sweet in there, quite a mix of terps on those phenos.

Added the first lot from the pheno hunt, all 2gal fabrics. There's 4x Columbian Ripper F1's and 5x Blue Ripper BX1's. #3 & #5 phenos of the Blue Ripper have that skunk piss smell :mrgreen: Will see how they go in the stretch, may spread them out into rows of 2's once the girls at the back finish.

I should have more females in the veg tent, there's 5 potential plants that haven't shown anything yet. There's 4x Blue Ripper rks male x Blue Pyramid and 1x Columbian Ripper, still in 1gal's. They should sex by next weekend and space will become available if needed. Even the 9x 2gal I just threw in, only 4 are fully sexed, the others "look" like females, we'll soon see. Should have enough spares if a couple turn out male.

Moved 4 that are looking like males into the 32x32 tent, still in the 1gal's. There's 3x Columbian Ripper and 1x Blue Ripper. Pheno #5 of the Columbian Ripper looks and smells nice, will keep and try that one if it turns out male. A purple male would be nice :mrgreen:
