This is exactly what a good friend has done for as long as I can remember. Swears by it in fact and he has doused thousands of plants in the last 30 years and tried everything. He stores them in the large glass vials found everywhere labeled and in big Tupperware containers, I’ve personally seen him pull out pollen that was dated 7 years back, worked perfect. He uses a TINY paintbrush , slightly touches the bristles to the pollen mix, holds it over said selected branch,plant , whatever and gives it a light tap or two, you see the pollen like a light mist fall on top and bingo. Personally I’ve only done open pollinations or where I take a big stud male, hold him over top and shake once or twice. Also works flawlessly but there is zero control.
Love me some Skywalker. Still to this day one of my favourite crops I’ve ever grown . Reserva privada Skywalker Kush. Just an all around money plant I enjoyed so much and the hash was unbelievable.
Hopefully your second concludes soon too.
This Mephisto’s skywalker, so it’s a selection of the DNA reserva privada that you’re talking about crossed with their Triangle (Triangle OG Kush x Meph breeding auto). It’s an F7 so it should be pretty stable.
If I can get any kind of reasonable amount of pollen out of it, I also have one leftover Mango Smile x Skywalker F1 from an earlier order, and 5 Skywalker x Forum Stomper F1s from the most recent order, which I would like to hit with the pollen to make Bx1s. If the pollen remains viable in a microcentrifuge tube for a while, it seems like a low-effort way to isolate desirable traits by continuously hitting the offspring with the same pollen to produce Bx2, Bx3, Bx4 crosses, etc.
Hmm… Having never done pollination other than tomatoes in an aerogarden, I think I might have manhandled my ladies more than he did. I dabbed the paintbrush on the pistils as if I was painting them instead of overhead dusting.
Thats ok, there’s more pollen to come, and I can do the dusting method today / tomorrow with the next bit of pollen dropped…
Exactly, a simpler, less involved method.
I actually just acquired my first mephisto beans and autos. Going to add 1-2 of them to the mix in my next run and see how I like them. Was trying forever to get M.B.A.P, or Toofless Alien or the CDLC but gave up. Looking forward to popping these tbh as autos could definitely help maximize space in my gardens and add more variety to the jars which is ALWAYS welcome as there’s never enough variety IMHO
If you’re still looking for CDLC and can stand the battle royale of using mephisto’s website I believe it’s supposed to be part of this monday’s drop. I ran autos outdoors in the early summer for a small midsummer harvest so that I wasn’t waiting on the photos for my entire crop. I’ve also heard people suggest inter-planting outdoors between photos, wherein the autos finish flowering by the time the photos fill in the spaces where the autos are with vegetative growth.
Thanks for that, I may try but man I hate that crap and their website. I’m a huge Chem anything fan. And the OG CDLC is one of my all time favourites so it’s a no brainer for me, but every lead I’ve gotten never pans out, truly hoping this does, thanks again @GlassJoeGrows
No not at all. I didn’t think that. Sorry if it sounds like that.
I love your state. I wish I could live there
Thanks. I need help with that. One love grow hands
