I will take 50/50 odds 365-24/7 The few times I’ve played roulette. I put everything on black if I win, I let ride and pick red. If I win again. I walk away. If I lose I still walk away. lol

Are you planning to separate and group up the reds with one another and same for greens or let everyone mix in one giant plant orgy?

It’s an open pollination for the seed run. My 97 cut is a red stem and I want to use red stem males with her specifically. I have a separate place already in place to do some selective breeding with her

Ya Legs I honestly hope the rest are males. These plants are already two footers. So even if the rest turn out to be male there will be more seeds than I can even imagine. Gonna have to research best method for removal of that many. I am sure it’s on here somewhere.
I did a little pollinating on my outdoor this year with a skunk Hawaiian strain. Selective branches. What a chore that was. And then it’s like what do I do with all that fingered through bud. I let my partner deal with that .

So I bought a bonsai screen set off Amazon to do the job, they come with three progressively finer screens that you can pop in, super helpful for the intial breakdown and screening, after that I used my large dry sift screen to dump all the seeds and fine, almost powdered plant matter into and then just tilted and tapped the screen to roll all the seeds to one corner and then used a plastic putty knife to brush the plant matter away. Still a n incredibly tedious process but I have to imagine it’s more efficient than doingg the whole deal by hand

Here’s a link to that screen set: 4pc Soil Sieve Set, 12" diameter - Stainless Steel Frame Three Interchangeable Sieves With Varying Mesh Sizes Grade - Mix Soil Filter Large Debris Replacement Screens Available Great for Bonsai https://a.co/d/4gDI7GL

The smorgasbord that’s about to happen and all them seeds about to be made, your going to need a full on seed separator. Which you can build or buy. But it’s gonna be a lot of work.
