They're coming along. Pretty sure we'll have pollen by the end of the month. Hopefully I'll still be able to make seeds from the non-sprayed ones on the same plant.

bump. Have any of you had to remove the balls and remove pollen somehow? Think I might have read someone doing that. Its day 41 still not seeing major drop.

Yes, simply remove the yellow unopened balls, dry, crush in a sieve over a plate or bowl, then use your paint brush and fert them fems. It doesn't matter if you get a little bit of plant matter mixed with the pollen.

It's just like when I plant a seed. I check on it every hour or so to see if there's any action. Lol
If weed had taught me anything, it's patience.

Whenever I see your handle, I always hear Chris Cornell singing it to the tune of "Spoonman".
You are correct. I think I saw a minimal amount of pollen on a lower leaf today but might just be my mind playing tricks on me again. The balls look pretty green still but are starting to get a bit more pale. A few more are opening. Last time with the other Cindy they were blowing in 3 weeks pretty bad. Guess I will have to plan on collecting and brushing. I did throw another clone in so I can get more s1 from that particular lady.
Do you guys put other plants in along side at the same time or wait for the reversed plant to get a head start?
i looked him up, may he RIP.

More at ease
More at ease
My latest paranoid fear born from my inexperience and ignorance on this subject has moved to "how much pollen am I going to lose when I don't recognize when the flowers are ready to pop?"
I made about 10 "baskets" where I punched a couple holes in the side of muffin/cupcake liners and ran some kitchen twine through them and hung them under the most obvious future pollen clusters.
NOW I can relax, I think. (photo is out of focus, but you get the idea)

Cool idea. I like it!
some more sacks opened but non flying. I did remove a small lower and got pollen on me. Going to remove the rest soon.
Can I use a blender to break up the sacks? Other suggestions?
Chopped WW and HGK and put my old C99#1 mom into bloom. She's already well on her way so hope I can get some smoke and some beans.

maybe use a silk screen printing frame like TM uses, rub the sacks over the screen like a grater (I bought one, cheap and sturdy) thanks TM

I think people recommend rubbing them into a small mesh strainer (pollen passes through the mesh, the "chaff" doesn't).
The small ones shouldn't cost more than a couple bucks if you don't have one.

I just use the metal coffee mesh screen basket from my old Mr.Coffee machine over a glass picture frame, shake the basket, pollen drops on glass, collect with razor blade, like doing lines - easy peasy..
