Ok so here’s a thought for ya. Make a little cab to stuff your males or flipped females in, cover the exhaust with a piece of MERV 8 filter material. You can get a furnace filter from the hardware store and just cut pieces out of it that are the right size.
@lefthandseeds chimed in on another thread the other day saying that a MERV 8 rates filter was sufficient to capture pollen, and he’s certainly chucked enough of it around to know.
So that keeps it from spreading around your house, but what about working with it? Well I prefer to harvest it and package it up into individual portions. You can cut it with flour that you bake in the oven on about 180⁰ or so for 30 minutes to dry it right out. Put it straight in an airtight container while it’s still hot and allow it to cool. You’ll want it to cool in a sealed container so it doesn’t reabsorb moisture from the air, you want to keep it as dry as possible. When it actually comes time to harvest your pollen wear a mask, even a cloth one that’s lightly moistened on the outside.
When you harvest your pollen you can mix it with the cooled dried flour. Just make sure not to include any pieces of plant matter. Not only will it help to spread out the millions of pollen grains into a more useable pile it will also help keep it from running wild on you when you use it. Split it up into individual portions, use micro centrifuge tubes, you can get em cheap on Amazon. Keep all the individually sealed tubes together in a ziplock with some dessicant and suck the air out of the bag. Put it in a jar and freeze it. When you ean to pollinate something take out one vial the day before and let it thaw. When you pollinate put a paper or plastic bag around the branch you’re pollinating, cut a tiny hole in a top corner and put the tube in and pop it. Shake, get a paintbrush in there, whatever. After it sits long enough put a spray bottle nozzle in through the hole and soak everything down. Remove bag and dispose.
Ta-daa! Minimal exposure, no pollen floating around your house fucking with your mucus membranes and your sinsemilla. You’ll really only have to be exposed when you first harvest it, and if you use a grinder it might help keep that contained as well. I did it in this thread, worked great…
Now get breeding!!
