I cut all the branches into one bucket, then took each out and carefully removed as much pollen into the second bucket by hand, and then put the “spent” branch into a third bucket.
Bit by bit the mess went through a colander onto a tray to remove the bulk of green material. This was then put into my pollen shaker (icing duster) and gently sifted again on to aluminum foil to remove all the remaining green material.
Then I tared the scale with the now empty pollen shaker so I can see what we have got out of all this work.
I then grabbed a bucket of water and a small kitchen towel and went to town in the tent to address the initial mess so I can rearrange the females without pollen and male flower petals ever where.
Now that the males have fucked off the ladies have plenty of room to get their badonkabonk’s goin’.
The kiddie pool area was a pollen mess so it all got a major spray down with water from my hand-pump sprayer to keep from getting airborne and to deactivate it. I’ll clean up better tomorrow as I’m done for the night.
All the best folks, hoping you’re all having a great:
It’s My week 5 of flower, so that means 6 weeks at 12/12 (1st 7 days I count as transitioning days).
Yogi should be around 49-71 days based on the parents so I assume I’ll see the plants ready to crom at the my week 9/10 of flower.
I’m doing these as a 7 weeks of solid feed, and then 1 week of Florakleen so they’re force-fed to eat what’s left in the root-mass (“soil”) + themselves, then only water from then on to crop.
The crop’s gonna be easy by comparison. Cut branches to managable sizes, put in drying tent on “stupid high” with the humidifier off.
In a weeks time I’ll have flowers so dry they’ll crumble in my hands and cyclone seporate easy as fuck and then it’s the annoying parts: viable/dead or weird sorting and then bubblehash from the cyclone removed plant material.
Wow, looking beautiful @Pigeonman I will be very excited to run these babies and I have a pack of the yogi F2’s as well so I will be able to find a mom or a dad to use in some chucking hopefully!
Thanks @Weednerd.Anthony ! You’re gonna have a fun time with those for sure! The entire basement has a sweet citrus smell now as these ladies take over.
I’m planing on divvying up the pollen I collected into 150 dime-bags to go along with the seeds as kind of a “Make your own F3 BX1” kit.
