Thanks ! I appreciate the help.

Going to search the forum for some collection and storage methods.

I think it’s an Azad from Barefrog . I’ll have to chcheck my journal. I’ve got another Azad that’s a female and is 4-5 weeks into flower.

When they are standing, I used this bowl and shack the plant over the bowl.

Then put it thru the pollen shaker onto parchment paper.

I put it in squares of parchment paper after it dried out and put in one of these;

with one of these;

I then put it in vials and in the freezer.

(thank you @Barefrog

I am trying a new soil prep method for my seeds. .as I have had issue in past with over wet soil/dirt

I put a 1/5 cup of soil in cup. Sprayed with spray bottle, shook the dirt around, . Filled another 1/5 with more soil and sprayed again, shook around, and continued till cup was full.

Will hope it lets these seeds start well!

Update July 09

Just found out my Molokai Frost flowering times are 9 weeks+ lol wondering why it wasn’t going amber.

However it is well close to 70 days. Went into flower tent early May 1-2 from what’s i can gather from my records… another 2.5 weeks …

The left is a an azad that is viciously sticky in this stage. very long hairs.

And on the far right is a a fem fruitz strain supplie freeseeds. And damn what beautifull colour and consistently sugar glaze on top fan leafs.

The veg tent has 3 chucked mountain berry genetics * one blueberry auto. And 4 seeds popped Fromm recent germs.

That growth thingy in the middle of the U shape is funky!! I’d bet the farm on if you made a clone of that plant it would turn out normal like the rest.

I won’t bet on it lol for lack of experience. But I believe it’s definitely an anomaly lol

I always wanted to try topping early on but never could until 6-7 nodes atleast lol

I should tie those two down and top them lol

But no I am going to Let them compete like a monster with two heads lol

Playing photographer.

The colour contrast is astounding ! Three totally different genetics and all different colours.

The fruitz’ leafs underneath are violet / purple/pinkish . The

Then it’s in the middle Molokai frost citrus !(@Barefrog image|373x500](upload://mHZm1geZVvXB0Q9fHqjCtm1RG3q.jpeg)

FOllowed By another from barefrog - Azad

Lastly - veg tent + blueberry auto.
And my outdoors experiment - azad & a trench coat x runtz (can probably use Ann up pot)
It’s been really hot out there. I’m pretty sure the pollen sacks have busted and the plant is finished. Could use Some nutrients i think.

Thanks; I like the colours!

Not working on yield at the moment . Slowly building some experience. And enjoying the garden still.

Exhaust fan Is getting a little loud. Can hear it from upstairs in the living room.the veg tent fan is silent but also doesn’t pull much

Don’t want to invest much more $ on equipment just yet.

My filter must not be working either because the house stinks.

yeah filters need replacing for me at least once every year or a bit more depending, typically once the lady starts to complain and its noticeable to me then i buy a new one.

lol! I’m suprised my s/o isn’t complaining lol. When she boots me out of the bed in morning I lay in the living room and it’s annoying me.

Well over a year for mine lol jan 2020 maybe ?

I’ll check out some options .

Thanks

The fan noise you can build a box lined with styrofoam to quiet it . Bigger the filter + fan the longer you’ll get out of it ,couple years max is all I’ve ever got.12 inch fan 10 inch inlet 4 ft tall filter . I had a 10 inch 3x2 ft 160 pound can brand filter last 5 /6 years it was a beast took 2 people to hang the frigging thing on ratchet straps.

That probably wont happen for me hahA I like my little ones for now. I heard you can clean them ? Or maybe just the cloths?

I like the box idea. I’ll probably stuff it in a cardboard box with insulation or towels
of some sort hahaha…

Thx man
