So I would like to create a few seeds from plants that are 21 days into their turn. I have the selected male below, grown outside, then cut branch’s off of him, brought inside to collect the pollen. Will have it in 2-3 days time I would guess
The females I wish to use are 2, growing inside, 9 total plants under a Gavita HPS , covering a 3.5 by 3.5 foot area.
Not in tent, just open room with light over head.
I have done “selected” pollination before, but not quite like this. The plants are all fairly tight together, and I ONLY WANT to hit 1 lower branch of 2 ladies without causing grief to my whole run of 9.
The 2 ladies are in here…sorry for crap pic, but should be enough to get the idea.
MY PLAN was to collect the pollen, have someone help me when I apply. Pollen in bottom of zip lock, which is inside another giant ass zip lock. Another bag is readied and placed around the selected branch to be hit. Small paint brush, dipped in the pollen, then stroked onto the selected branch while inside the bag. Seal the bag around the limb for several days. When see hairs recede or brown, stick hand sprayer inside the bag, wet it before removing.
CAN I do this without upsetting the rest of those 2 plants, AND the other 7 in there IF I am VERY careful doing it???
My other option would be to collect the pollen, and hit the 2 cuts of the selected females I have growing outside. Issue is they were placed outside about a week ago, and unfortunately, even though we have less than 10 hours of darkness each night now, it appear they went into flower(they are stretching now) . They are small, and if I wait 3 weeks or so to hit them, not sure how much seed they would produce. I do not need many, but do not want only a dozen or so.
Has anyone here attempted something like this before, mean pollinate a single branch of a single plant in a multi plant grow???
