Autoflower/Lowryder Pollen Buds

[HydroLenny]

Recently started growing my first autoflower variety (lowryder 2), actually my first MJ plants ever, and unfortunately on my two "feminzed" seeds I ended up with 2 males. Question I have is I would like to collect the pollen for later pollination but not sure if I should keep them growing or not. The pollen sacks are surprisingly small, but with a lack of any experience, not sure if I should collect the sacks that I have now, or let them grow longer. Both are at 4 weeks now and have bunches of small little pollen sacks. A couple of the sacks have opened up already. I would rather not waste my time growing them, so should I go ahead and collect what they have on them now and kill them off, or if I am going to collect good pollen, should I grow them out a bit more?

I would take pollen from healthy full size flowers that open naturally, there are threads on here regarding the collection and storage of it. Make sure you dry it for at least a full day at moderate temps with some dessicants like silica gel packs before you put it in cold storage. I like to cut pollen 50/50 with some corn starch before storing helps in using it later and also will protect it from moisture as it will absorb any before the pollen does. Moisture & heat kills pollen. Good luck mang!

 

[the END]

Are they in Hydro or Soil?
IF you have any open sacs, snip them off and put them between a fold of wax paper then let sit in a dry place (cool or warm) until the pollen drops. If you want more Balls and more Pollen maybe set them outside to grow in natural light.

Make sure you store the pollen well (bindle of wax paper + plastic bag + desiccant/rice + larger plastic bag + tupperware container in Freezer)
