Oh & if you have the same strain going, cross that with the male...it would be dank! Only pollinate like a few lower bud sites on a possible female. Then you got yourself more seeds :-)

Let me know if you need help in how to collect pollen or what not I'll dig up the links around here.

Collect pollen, good genetics. :-)
not necessarily a bad idea. ive got another northern lights going and a jock horror, neither of which has shown sex, at least not male. i really like the plant, it smells delicious and grew like a wildfire. whats the process in collecting pollen? link anybody? being my first attempt at growing maybe i'll just let em grow out, pollenate, and ill have plenty o seeds for the future. bad idea?

wow...my thought train is in motion. just remembered i had 2 huge trees removed from my backyard to allow more sunlight in. im in se texas so ive still got alot of light left. only prob is i live in a neighborhood, houses close by, and of course not legal. how bad would that male get to smelling outside?

It's pretty easy,I let mine continue to grow but checking the pollen sacs every day. It flowered for about 1-2 weeks after it showed sex, then I removed it from my flower room.


Put one 64W CFL on it until the pollen sacs opened, cut a few pollen sacs that look 'full' and haven't opened yet. Put them into a vile let them dry out a few days then bam, you got pollen. I left the top of my vile open so air would help it dry out. NO FANS AROUND!

Then once you have lower budsites on another female, like 2-4 weeks into flower, pull it out of the flower room. In a clean place use a cotton swab and dab it into some of your pollen and act like your painting a lower bud site. Let it sit for about 45 minutes then spray the entire plant down with water to kill any floating pollen. Put it back into your flower room and you're all done. :-)

Here's some links:
