I only did a few branches of a few plants, covered the other branches with a bag. I need to know how long the pollen should stay on the hairs before i mist them and put them back in the chamber. Don't want to leave them out to long.
I crossed a Cali-O male with a Aurora Indica, My last cross of some bagseed x AI, and with Cali-O female. (more seeds) :joint:

I've heard most people just recomend a few hrs. Personly, I had a pollinated flowering plant that I forgot about in the corner of a room for 2 days get stunted and never yeild right seedwise. It was wierd, like the flowering and seed developement was stunted and most of the seeds never fully ripened no matter how long I left it under 12-12.

Now I just let it sit for 3-4 hrs, mist, and put it back. Or if it was a heavy pollination I'll let it sit for 3 hrs, mist, let it sit for another 1-2 hrs or until dry, then mist one more time and put back into flower.

This has worked fine for me, and I got just as much seeds as I did from leaving it for a day or 2.

Just my experience..

Me3...and not a seedless calyx in the bunch (where intended of course). Longer than that just isn't needed.
