Hi All,

I want to collect pollen from a male plant that I am growing. The pollen sacks open up, however the pollen sacks stay green. They don't become yellow, can I still collect pollen from this plant? The sacks have been growing over a week now and opening up as well. Looking forward to your answer.

Have a good day!

A couple of weeks maybe.
Have you seen any pollen yet?.
I isolate the males. I bend the stems over the side of the pot. Place a glass plate under them. The glass catches the pollen which I then scrape it together disgarding the spent flowers on the glass.

Hope that helps
 
Yes, some of the male flowers opened but no pollen whatsoever or it's not dropping any visible pollen for me. I put a piece of aluminium foil around the plant to check if there is any pollen dropping.
 
It is possible that it may be sterile, that strain clearly produces a lot of mutations.
Is it a feminized strain that has been reversed?
 
I was able to get some pollen, I needed to wait a bit longer. As @Funkentelechy mentioned this is a mutated strain and it doesn't produce a lot of pollen majority of the sacks are empty. I didn't reverse this plant with STS or colloidal silver, it was a male from the start. I do have two other plants from this strain which I hope will turn out to be females so I can reverse those to try and make a feminized strain as well. Thank you all for replying!
