Or this
It is possible to store pollen of many species at temperatures between 4°C and –20°C for the short-term. Dry pollen that is kept at between 4°C and –20°C remains viable for a few days to a year, which may be adequate for use in breeding programs (Hanna and Towill 1995).
Long-term viability can be maintained by storing pollen at –80°C or LN temperatures (–196°C) (Hanna and Towill 1995). Once desiccated, pollen can be dispensed into cryovials for long-term storage in LN or LN vapour. Precise labelling of vials and storage locations is recommended to aid in future retrieval of samples. Vials can then be placed in boxes or cryocanes and directly immersed in the liquid or vapour phase of liquid nitrogen (Barnabás and Kovács 1996; Ganeshan et al. 2008; Hanna and Towill 1995; Connor and Towill 1993).
Or this
Pollen can be collected, stored and used even after 3+ years effectively...
It can be used to make a pollenbank with either small or large quantities of pollen.
Pollen can be collected in a few ways ...with a plant in full flower it can be as simple as knocking pollen from the branches into a bowl
heehe
...other ways are to place a clean paper bag over a branch and shake it
...some people tie the paper bag around the branch and collect the pollen th@ has fallen the next day
...simple cardboard or paper can be placed beneath whole male plants in flower...
But it's never QUITE as simple as th@ for the small grower, is it?
...time spent growing a male is time risked in many cases, as well as time and space wasted on a mere male plant, as opposed to the lovely buds the ladies deliver...
But it DOES NOT have to be such a problem!
Collecting pollen is a fun, rewarding and worthwhile experience...first to just get itdone...collecting and saving ones first batch of pollen, but the possibilities th@ open up to one who DOES IT!
...routinely saving pollen from good strains th@ deliver you a male will build a genetic library
...true, it IS a library full of half codes
hehehe but it means th@ in the course of yourcannabis journey, you will find you accumulate quite easily a collection of pollen types
hehehe...
when it's EASY and you are COMFORTABLE doing it, collecting pollen will become something like cracking beans, taking cuttings or growing plants
...the more you do it and become familiar with it, the easier is is to do.
I would also recommend one start a seedbank as well as a pollenbank
...saving genetics is wh@ will leadto newer strains
...and also saving older genetics will keep the genetic BASE of this breeding, strong
Should I go on or have you been fed
) Temps looks a little colder to me dumb ass.
