Pollen is really starting to drop. I would say a good 2/3 to 3/4 of the pistils are making seed as of now. Those Pollen traps I made are working some… I will be cutting nodes that have any Pollen on them for whatever I can get. Don’t quote me on this yet, but there might be a tiny bit to give… other then that seeds are growing and pistils are becoming fertilized, and that’s just what we want!
We are definitely making seeds! It’s getting pretty dusty in the tent. I’m still tieing the plants down and breaking limbs. They are taking this high stress training with no problem. The tent is definitely full. After the males are done doing there thing I will wait for seeds to mature then harvest. I’m not doing this for smoke. This is a100% seed only run. I’m getting excited! Still using just plain water. These plants are not picky at all when it comes to ferts and h2o…
That’s the first time in my life I’m seeing the picture of cannabis pollen bruv…
Looks magnificent 
I opened the tent today and inhaled so much pollen it made me sick to my stomach.
I have decided not to collect any pollen. I want everything to go as natural as possible. I’m shaking the center mass of these plants twice a day and boy I wish I could capture on camera what I’m seeing…
Everything looks pollenated so far. Seeds are growing!!
If you are interested in open pollenation I recommend reading the preservation runs done on here including this one and the link below.
All pistils are pollenated! Male plants are still dropping pollen. As long as the males are dropping pollen I will leave them be just in case the females decide to make more pistils.
Iv seen this work both ways. Since the females are 100 percent pollenated they may, or may not develop more hairs. To ensure complete pollenation I will leave the male plants alone.
I am going to stop using the Jacks soluble and substitute it with 10 ml of coconut water and 2 teaspoons of aloe vera per gallon of water, every other watering which will be twice a week or every 3 to 4 days.
On a fun note I left the tent open yesterday for about 2 hour and I had side branches growing outside of the tent. I would to see people grow these outside!
Looking like a giant forest in there! Coming along very nice. The males will probably continue to dump pollen another 30 days but it’s a good idea to get rid of them before that time. Too many seeds and you will get more immature seeds than mature seeds. If you want to collect some pollen I bet a credit card on the floor would do some wonders for you. Or cut a male top off and put it in a glass of water with a piece of news paper or wax paper underneath. Wait several days and then give it a little tap and a bunch of pollen will rain down on your wax paper. (Of course you’ll have to keep it out of the wind)
What kind of smells are you getting from the stems or buds? Any plants in particular that are standing out to you at this point? Nearing the home stretch now, keep up the great work!
Thanks for the information @Upstate. Then it’s time to separate the males then, because I don’t even see any living pistils anymore. I’ll take the males out tomorrow and put them in another room. Maybe under a t5 idk, but the males will be taken out of the flower tent tomorrow. I’ll try to collect some pollen. Put some tops in vase or something, but still I’m not the best at collecting pollen.
Stems smell like black pepper or some sort of spice. Kinda like my habenero sauce.
There is one plant that screams grow my seeds, and that’s the plant in the back right corner where it’s always been. I love this plant. Great structure, branches to tops. Everything I look at it I say, this plant looks like wild fox tails… it will probably be the highest yielding plant for sure, as far as seeds go.
Yes sir! We are nearing the end of this long hall… hopefully there will be enough good seeds for a nice haul!
I collected some pollen from the three males I have and selectively hit the females. While I was collecting it some got up my nose and it was the first time I have been effected by pollen. Not as bad as some people in spring but I did get a little bit of a jolt. Looking good.
Somewhere…in the shadows…is a pollen snorter living near you…
Who would have known it could be so addictive?
I have found out that I am highly allergic to cannabis pollen.
No other pollens have any where near the effect on me.
Non-stop sneezing. 
Plants are looking great. 
Its really easy collecting and storing pollen if your going to use it soon. Wax paper is great because the pollen won’t stick and you don’t lose any. I crease a foot long section down the middle and put it under the male tops once every few days and give the tops a light tap close to the paper… Separate any plant matter no matter how small using a credit card. Fold the wax paper so no pollen escapes and put it in a dark area. Leave an opening in the wax paper for moisture to escape and this pollen will keep at least a couple weeks and some viable pollen after 30 days. Might not be a bad idea just in case…
@chronix my wife has a terrible time with the pollen too. Swollen and itchy eyes and lots of sneezing.
Thank’s @Upstate. When the lights come on and I remove the males today I will cut the best looking tops of the males and put them in a cup of water over some wax paper. There is so much pollen all through the house that everyone coughs when they come over. I mean it’s everywhere in every room… I don’t know how you can prevent this, especially if you have central air. I have never seen anything like this before…
That’s the main reason we have the rules we have when it comes to reproductions. Imagine if you had simultaneous grows happening with males in each grow in the same house. Bad news. Pollen does get everywhere!
Can you believe it only been 7 weeks! Males have been pulled. I’ll update a pic of the tops after I decide what to do with them.
Now we wait for seeds to mature, and most of them are already formed!
My favorite female
A group of the 4 females
And the males
I took the 3 males and bent the tops over my t5. Its stainless steel so should be easy to gather the pollen with a razor blade. I’m happy I’m getting some use out of this light. The pic of the pollen is from one male that dropped over night.
Seeds are gaining weight and branches are falling. These seeds are round, kind of like a golf ball and Shiney just like the seed pic at the top of this thread.
@Upstate if you want any of this pollen please message me. I would like to start getting these genetics out ASAP. thanks! Merry Christmas all!
