Couple guys saying high… WW x Blue and a big Hawaiian Cat. What’s your approach to collecting and storing pollen?

I've never collected outdoor pollen, I'd imagine if you put some ziplocks over the pollen sack clusters, it'd work fine.

For indoor, once they appear ready I try to stress them to force them to open sacks and either I line the floor with tinfoil to collect it or I do the zip lock method.

As for collecting, I cut the top off, put it in a window with some light in a cup of water with a sheet of paper underneath or foil or something. And just let the pods open up and drop pollen then collect, have to make sure no or relatively low air flow in the room tho

Lemons so far has been dominant smell.Big plants which would do really well outside I imagine.

A portion of the population didn’t like stress which caused some hermies. I had to chop a couple down after going from sexing them and going back to veg light cycles. The rest are solid so far.

Thanks,

These were removed from an indoor grow a while back… will be collecting pollen inside and composting the rest. Should have been more specific. I meant to ask how you are storing pollen for future use, I collect the same way, usually cup of water over some paper. I don’t normally keep pollen but have some that I’d like to keep for a future projec.

Flour and dessicant beads, dilute the pollen way down. Jar or bag it several times with dessicant in each subsequent layer. Some suggest putting that into a thermos in the freezer for long term storage.

I’m going to try something different this season, since last year a lot of what I collected clumped and went bad.

I sex test my outdoor plants when young so the females can get planted in their spots early. With the males, I do a modified light depo by bringing them in the garage and covering them up at 6 each night and bringing them out at 6 am. Collect pollen in spring when plants are little, cull males, apply pollen later.

last year I simply didnt let the pollen dry enough before packaging in centrifuge tubes with flour and silica in fridge. This year I bought a small ammo case with a tight gasket and a rechargable, small dehumidifier that will fit inside. I’ve read that you can get this chamber to hold at 10-15% RH. Gonna put pollen in there for a bit before packaging this year. Fingers crossed.

Have a nice Clusterfuck male going and a solid nl5/nl1 x 89nl

Putting paper bread bags around the flowers to collect and deep freeze in vials to store works well.
