Best time to knock 'em up is between 2 and 3 weeks, once some good pistils are forming. Don't wait too long or the seeds won't have time to ripen. Most are pretty fast, 4-6 weeks. Turn off the fan while you do it; best bet is some pollen in a small bag placed over a bud for a while. I often use a paint brush, but it is difficult to avoid "splashing" and having pollen flying around.

Here's the Caramelo again, 6 days later on day 44. Supposed to be 9 wks, but this one is looking close. All cloudy, and could be chopped, hoping it'll fatten up some in the next 10 days or so.

I decided to soak some seeds, and chose a few that share Romulan in their genetic make-up:
Space Queen
The Flav
Wild Rose
Jack the Ripper
Any males will be interesting to cross; I also have a Jillybean male which contains some Romulan. The Wild Rose is probably a different Romulan pheno (crossed with The Hog), being from Sweet Seeds. Also throwing in a Dinafem Critical+ and some Querkle x Agent Orange for more fun...oops-just checked theWild Rose and it's Rosetta Stone/Hog, not Romulan. That's OK, I wanted to try it.

thats a beautiful crop man
I hope I get to the point some day where I can keep a male father plant to make my own breed
I think that would be so grand for growers to create and trade their own seeds

By the way if you breed a plant and like you said I think 2-3 week of flowering, is there any chance of male pollen getting to an adjacent mother room? Or will a vegging plant be ok if it gets hit by polled while it's being held in veg. I guess the biggest risk is how long does male pollen last before it becomes useless?
Thanks for any knowledge on this.

Yes. you can definitely pollinate other plants by mistake if they're nearby. I'm not overly careful, but if you want you can take the female out and pollinate the bud of your choice, then leave it out for several hours or overnight to let the pollination take place. Before you return it to the flower area spray it with water from a spray bottle to rinse off excess pollen and you should be good. If the male is in close proximity to your grow room there is a risk of pollen in the air seeding some buds, so be careful.
I'm pretty casual, so you may want to search around for more in-depth methods when you're ready.

hey barrelhse i got my pollen out and i did not harvest right. i put the pods in a container and froze them. there is just pods and no pollen that i can see. i thought i would put them in a bag and choose a bud and put the baggie around it but i doubt anything will happen. better luck next time. plus i know a little more next time. lol

Yeah, you can't save male flowers. Wait until the males open and collect the pollen, make sure no pieces of the flower are in it- they cause dampness. You will notice that the pollen is completely dry powder when it is released. Best to use it fresh, but there are some posts here and there about collecting and storing it that should be helpful. It must be kept absolutely dry or it will be worthless.

Some crappy pics of current events outside the 12/12 room-
First, new seedlings. Got 15/16, with one Querkle X AO not making it. The tags that say Lav = Caramelo, but I call it Lavender because it was confusing with Cream Caramel. Caramelo is Lavender x Indica (pics coming up).
