Don’t worry I’ll show ya! 
Got a better look at the vials. They are marked with a 1, a 3, and a 5. Im assuming 1 ml, 3 ml & 5 ml. Anyone know if thats correct? Those where seed vials that I am repurposing.
So I think I got about 10+ ml of pollen.

Anyone know how long I should air dry it before putting in the freezer? And should I add a grain of rice or two? @DougDawson what say you? Since you are the one I know recently produced pollen.

Hey bud, I put it in sealed Tupperware with a dehumidifier and a gauge to show RH. Get the RH down to 10 to 15% I would say.

Trust me longer than you would think! I don’t know the answer but I was so sure after a few days (almost a week?) that it had dried and froze it. It came out of the freezer frozen like it had gone in a liquid. Big bummer.

try drying on something super absorbent like water color paper it sure works with air drying bubble hash on a silk screen

I’m hoping to buy a pollinator (Amsterdam not the french knock off) soon I hope, also makes great dry sift or dry ice hash. easy to collect in a enclosed environment. a bit pricey tho but great customer support and warranty

I know one thing. It ain’t easy collecting on a piece of paper. Or in a bowl.

There’s a small french knock off for about 150usd it works for pollen but not hash, pollinator is about a grand cdn
Wheeew! That a little rich for my pay grade. A paper plate and a few thumps of my finger works enuff lol.

So is there a fine line between the pollen being too moist and too dry. I don’t want to ruin this by under or over drying.

No practical experience, but I believe that you want the pollen as dry as possible. Any moisture can make the pollen non-viable.
There’s a few threads around here on pollen collecting.

Looks like I have more reading to do. But not on the throne.

Dude, thats the BEST reading time. No interruptions, no distractions, until the dog wants to be petted and barges in… (do cats do that too?)

Yes they do.
Mine wants to lay in my wadded up pants between my feet.

Ok, that makes me feel less intruded on by the dog now. He just wants a pat on the head, then leaves with the door open. He isn’t trying to cuddle up in my pants. ROFLMAO

I went to collect a little pollen this morning and got a couple pics of the bean progress. I would say polination is successful.

I have also collected a bit of Dragon Blood pollen, if anyone wants to snag a bit for crosses.
