such a fun grow to follow, super healthy and happy all the way through.
Crazy amount of pollen eh ? hehehe Not many have the balls to let males spunk out for the whole flower cycle. I am really impressed with the amount of pollen you are harvesting.

Ditto! Just blown away at how much pollen youāre collecting @DougDawson ! Makes me laugh at myself tweezering individual male flowers into my little tiny plastic vials! 
Congrats on all the seeds too! Fantastic job, and all done with an air of ease, like, āNo big dealā! Thanks again for all you do Doug!

I use one of these.
It works great. The Frankenstein that I reversed had the tiniest flowers that were tightly enclosed in the buds. I had to rake them loose with tweezers and then into that shaker they went. Nothing but clean pollen is collected in it after some shaking.

I just watched part of a video where a guy makes a āpollen tumbler bagā using 110 micron material.
Iām still watching it so I donāt know yet how well it worked.

@MoBilly Every time I try to buy a couple of those I find itās āNot available in your locationā. One of the good points Iāve heard about this aluminum one versus the plastic one is thereās no static electricity build up. Hand picking out flowers is getting to be a PITA!

I have a pastry flour sifter with a very fine mesh.
It is also used for dusting powdered sugar on baked treats. I have two of them actually.
One is larger and holds about 3 to 4 cups of flour/powdered sugar while the other one holds about a cup. I use the bigger one to do what @DougDawson is doing.
What would be really cool is a handheld, rechargeable vacuum tool with pollen collecting filters inside a removeable cartridgeā¦ I might try and make one LOL

I was thinking the powdered sugar sifter would probably work.

If you have a Trim Bin, they work great. Doug gave me the idea for it and I have recently tried it.
I just trimmed the branches off the live plant and threw it on the top screen to dry, I give it a shake every now and then and all your pollen is in the bottom bin.
