I know, beat to death but can't find info really. Would pollen be deemed useless from pollen sacs dried in microwave?
Same could be said for a Bic lighter.Imagine having the only microwave on earth, you’d be a damn god.
At what point did the microwave get an invitation to the party?OK, got it. But to add, is the pollen still good if its not dry yet? In other words the pollen sacs are almost open but 'wet' if you will. So the pollen doesn't show up on the paper. Its all stuck together and not powdery yet. Reason I ask, I'm at day 26 after the switch. Getting a bit close to then end of window? or can I let them dry for another few days until I see pollen on the paper?
Only one way to find out. Now I'm wondering about processing pollen in a freeze dryer. I'd be curious to know the result if you try the experiment.I know, beat to death but can't find info really. Would pollen be deemed useless from pollen sacs dried in microwave?

Well, on day 3 of drying my male thatAt what point did the microwave get an invitation to the party?
That's what we ended up doing thanks. Ended up being around 120F for maybe 15 minutes. Did the trick. Put in plastic baggie and all pollen fell out was visible for ye ole brush.Better try it in the gas oven on the smallest possible flame, heat the oven, turn off and put the pollen bags for about 10 minutes, repeat the process... Microwave oven kills everything it touches.
