All ways lead to Rome but it’s how i’m maintaining different males in a 1x1.
The protection at the base have a double use : collecting pollen and don’t let it to cover the surface of the soil.
You have here the two main threads there where to get inspirations and intels.
But the “In doubt, trust how industrials are doing it” was more my lead on this one.
For the sequence it’s not rocket science, i swear.
- flower you male just like a female, but with twice PK : wait for the male’s buds forming and a yellow dominant color. If you feed rightly a male, the pollen take golden hues.
- don’t move or shake the male, just wait that most of leaves are covered and flowers that start to fall individually.
- harvest entirely or partially (just cut one stem and proceed it).
- sift with cares the harvest, hash shakers are good enough for this.
- dry the pollen as fast and on low RH that you can with what you have
- store 1-2 weeks in fridge, years in freezer
- when stored in freezer : you let the pollen get in temps then you use it or you throw it, no return even in the fridge.
You never need a small stash of seeds, but weighting the seeds over to count them because there is too much ^^ Never enough, trust me on this. And it’s becoming worse when first results are coming in general lol
Work her ass like it’s the end of the world, more. Stay rational and humble for this, the chance that this cut survive the most primed cuts in circulation is ultra low. Better to work her grade first, than trying to save her in Beta-herm version ^^ No ?
Try to make these terps shared by its progeny first, using the S1 and cuts in loop. It’s a bigger step than it appear.
