I dont have a pure blueberry male right now but i have before.
Here is a pic on a project of mine its a apollos trip (m) x blue satelite (f) I plan on using this male to pollinate my blue satelite again. I have run about 60 of these seedlings so far and this was the first male to show sex. I also have some sweet females So what are you going to pollinate with blueberry pollen? PeAcE

Hi,

Did I underastnd you to say that you can pollenate only part of a plant (even a single branch) to force that branch to peroduce seeds, while still leaving the upper bud-producing parts of the plant fully female so they are still considered "sensi"? Can that really be done, mate? I'd love to try that!

Most def. Just but a paper bag with some "man powder" over the buds you want pollenated and shake maybe every five minutes or so. You can either tie or hold the bag closed so your other buds dont get pollenated.

Anyone is welcome to correct me if I wrong.

city boy, your right, and its pretty easy a lot of different ways.

I built a box away from the flower spot. collect male pollen, put female in box, use a small artists paint brush and start at the upper most branch you want to pollinate and work down the plant as the pollen falls downward.

Ive pollinated the same female with two different males. one on one side and another on the otherside, just a few outside buds.

dont make alot of fast movements, no fans goin. leave her in there for a few days. mist her off real good and put back in the flower spot. pretty easy.

keep the pollen as far away as possible from other flowerin plants, wash up real good before goin to get your women, and clean up again after pollination before goin back to the flower room.

good luck bro,

hey Bigmone, you have that pollen in individual packets

makin seed makes your grow more interestin both ways, makin the seed and then growin your own gear.

be good if everyone made seed with there grows. keep whatever there growin in seed.

That's what i plan to do CBF. I'm making seeds of everything i grow to have seeds to grow out at anytime. This helps if you drop a mother plant to move on to something else and then change your mind down the road and want to grow that line again. I also think it's a good idea.

This opens up all kinds of fun and interesting possibilities for me. I grow medical for myself and a close friend, and now we can play with the plants I grow to any degree we like! And pollenating a single plant with more than one trype of pollen to get a multi-strain plant...I can't believe it!
This really does add some sparkle to the whole process fo rme. Being stuck at home and rather motionless for most of the day (right next to my grow tent and my new nursery!), I can now plan to play mad doctor with a couple of each crop I grow-- which are always multi-strain grows anyway-- and see what sort of goodies I can make out of my "victims".

I have also just learned that the few healthy seeds I sometimes get from a female plant are all female seeds (I hope that's true anyway!) and that I can grow from them and get guaranteed females every time.

This is definitely getting to be more fun that it should be for me!

Thanks for all the valuable information, folks. As usual, this is the only place to be if you want to grow the finest quality your can!

Hi mate...yup its true../..in fact some breeders employ this method to produce seeds so that each plant only makes a small amount that the plant had masses of energy to produce.....Mandala for 1 I can think of off hand.... like you say though its a great thing to try, anbd althouigh my pollen collecting and storage method must've left a lot to be desired((didnt take = no beans for harry )) Ill definately have another go because its a good way to learn about crossing the planbts and seeing what you get...also, by mixing up all these genetics, you have a chance of finding some amazing plant that you will keep forever!
Ive even read about some people using differnt males to pollinate different branches to get many differnt crosses from a single female plant at the same time.....Buying a copy of MJ Botany by Clarke was the best move I made to understand things about certain aspects of the plant in more detail...
another way to do itis to use a little artists brush of small make up brush to apply the pollen!

EDIT once again I reply before reading all the replies 1st and just end up re-iterating what has already been said, lol.......most ppl wouldnt care, but im so lazy I resent the wasted typing hahahahaha
Be lucky every1

Thanks for assisting me, Harry. Yeah, I'm excited about the prospect of chancing upon a truly great pain reliever this way. I typically grow a minimum of six different strains at once, one female of each strain. I would love to have quality Trainwreck or Warlock pollen, or maybe Big Buddha Cheese dust to brush onto one branch of each of these ladies so I could end up with hundreds of top-quality beans with a real multitude of killer strain possibilities as the direct outcome. If only a guy could simply order the pollen he desired and have it delivered the next day. That would truly make a difference to this "hobby".

Gotta try it!
