Nice man, thanks for the invite to your thread. Shame you had to kill off those males but hey, gotta protect that smoke. I don’t think you pics look like trash either, you are being to hard on yourself. Gonna grab a seat and watch the show. :v:

Thank you! I’m actually working to make a space for males now in the spare bathroom. It bout killed me to cut the Grand Prix male! I have a nice female now and those are kinda rare I think. I have more beans and the goal is to increase those at some point.

Ok cool! So it’s the spare bathroom down the hall from the main grow room. It’s never used and rarely do I have guests. I have a load stabilizing bar for a pick up truck that will stretch across the standard shower stall to hang lights off of. The shower has sliding glass doors and full tile so that should help with keeping pollen contained and make for easy cleanup. I figure if I’m keeping just males to collect pollen I’ll probably be able to fit three large males and separate further into the room during collection. Or more than likely cause I’m small taters I’ll just use the tub as a honeymoon suite and let a couple do their do then dispose of the male rinse female/s right in the tub and rock on. I’m not sure how everything’s going to play out just yet but I don’t want to waste good genetics if I can help it and I have the bug to play around a bit! I guess we’ll see how it goes! Thanks for listening. @lophophora.ca

If your light is plugged into the GFCI you don’t even need to cut the power before turning on the shower! Think of the convenience…

Watch out, new breeder on the come up! Make some Hindu Kush beans. Haha

The lights will be plugged into the GFCI. But I’ll probably do my rinsing with clean water in my 2 gallon pressure sprayer.:+1:t3:

I’ll probably never be a real breeder but why not chuck a little pollen for myself and the Fam! Should be good fun but I’m no expert on anything or anything! :rofl:
You still staying cool? @PatHealy sounds like it on your thread.

Yeah, it’s working great. Tech is coming next week, but everything seems fine. Dropped it from 77* to 74* when the schedule changed at 8:00 PM in four minutes. Do you think that filter just messed it up for a couple of days? That’s wild if so and super dumb on my part. Haha

It very well could have still been frozen where we couldn’t see and that would throw thing off until it defrosted all the way. I’m also thinking you may have a TXV on that unit that stuck on you causing the issue. Glad to hear it’s doing well! It’s too hot for it not to be!:joy: :vulcan_salute:t3:

Ok y’all I think I’m gonna have to show the flower tent in two parts. I fooled around watering and cleaning up longer than planned and I’m a bit tired and ready to smoke a bowl! So here we go with part one. Hopefully part two tomorrow.

Sour Diesel x GMO I’ve been calling her GMOctane cause I can!

Pineapple Skunk 1 one of two branchy pheno that has been topped.

Pineapple Skunk 2 The second branchy pheno. Also topped.

Pineapple Skunk 3 This is the other pheno. She was all closed up like an umbrella until I trained the lowers out a little. This one’s my favorite! Obviously didn’t top this one.

Here’s an Icecream Punch. I don’t know exactly why but this one has just had me disgruntled from the beginning. Y’all ever have a plant you hate for some reason and don’t even know why?

My little Gorilla Dawg. She’s small but I like the structure. Hopefully she’s a good one!

I’ll finish with a few random shots and we’ll hopefully get to the other half of the tent tomorrow night! :facepunch:t3::fist:t3::vulcan_salute:t3:

I’ve had luck collecting two pollen strains at the same time by lying the plants sideways over newspaper and being very careful.

The trick is bottom watering.

And being very careful.

4 Likes

Nice tip! Thanks! Is the bottom watering just so you don’t jostle the plant and release the hounds? Is there another cool reason escaping me? @Foreigner Also Good morning! :fist:t3:

Good morning. Yes that is correct. Let the pollen drop and leave them alone until they do. Don’t shake it’ll get everywhere.

2 Likes

Yes! :rofl: I have noticed it’s very floaty! Almost as if by design! I like the lay it down on newspaper trick! I was wondering how y’all did this. :+1:t3:.
Anything special for sifting it out to clean it up? Should just a regular fine mesh kitchen strainer work ok?

2 Likes

I’ve not found the need to clean it up. Maybe if you’re saving it which I don’t do. I just use as is.

Good point. I guess if I’m not trying to Doug it all over the world and it’s for personal use, cleanup really isn’t necessary. Thanks!
