Bugs in pollen..what to do?

[TokerOftheSouth]

Hello everyone..I was out today to collect pollen from a few Mish Mash males..

As i put medicine bottle over pods and thumped/wacked them..Alot of pollen fell in..But i noticed little bugs..Looked like spider's at first

With closer inspection..I saw they were tiny like nats or spiders there small brown bugs with wings..

Should i spray Liquid seven dust on them? or Collect pollen ..Let bugs fly out and then apply to fem's...There up inside the pollen sacks on the males u cant see them till they fall out...

I dont wanna apply to females and spread them there..I cant tell there doing any damage at all...


Anyone else ever had this problem?

Here is 2 pics..Tallest males are at 3 feet..35 days old

Thanks

Toker

If you put the pollen in med bottles just keep the top off to allow them to escape.

You could spray the males then wait a couple days and try again. How far are the males and females apart? If not that far I would let them males release and let the pollen ride the air streams. Their bound to get pollenated.

Ill probably do that..But i dont want there to be eggs, and infest the females once pollenated...There like 200 yrds apart..I dont think they'll seed anything..There gunna die as soon as i knock the ladies up

Pollen can travel for miles dude lol.

If there's not many obsticals in the way between the plants the wind should do justice.

im no breeder, but ive heard of people storing the pollen in the freezer. maybe the cold will kill the bugs?

200 yards upwind or downwind?

200 yards downwind from females..so i dont think they will seed them..But im going to rite now

Bugs need air too

Even if the males are down wind there is a very good chance bees or other insects will pollinate the girls. Keep your males indoors if you can.
