The problem with me is I can’t where white. Lol. I have it everywhere. Lol. General got it right. I have used a puffer before. Like the ones for cleaning your nose. That didn’t go as planned.
It doesn’t take much to kill the pollen.
Over kill my friend. As someone above said you can get a lot of seeds just painting it on some lower branches. I use a Qtip. I do it once not everyday for days. Works for me.
It’ll only take 2-4 hours in my experience and you can soak it all down and neutralize the pollen. Your plan would work of course. But I think it’d be much more likely to get errant pollination that way. No need to keep it around that long.
Sounds like it should work, as long as your rh isn’t so high you get rot or mold. You could use some peroxide in the wash.
Yes, ^^ what he said. It shouldn’t take days. Morelike hours.
Peroxide does work but you got to be careful not to make it too strong.
I don’t know how much pollen you have but I would try to be sparing with it.
That is probably a very true statement my friend, and you’re not the first to say that about me.
I’m KING of over thinking and over engineering!
Edit:
But my stuff doesn’t fall down either.
@Eagles009 has experience that I don’t, his recommendations I would go with. From what I have read water neutralizes pollen on contact. The H2O2 is to prevent rot. I like the bag idea better than qtips just for the added isolation. If I had a vent hood and a clean room it might be different.
Nothing wrong with wanting to do things right. When we get older we want the best. I understand that is what you want. Same here.
It does work. Nothing wrong with your statement. The lower branches work like @Floyd said. You can bag the entire plant. Leave one bud outside. Ok put a bag over your bud site. Spray your plant down pull the bag off pollinate.
I don’t even worry about it, my flower tent is like a wind tunnel. I just toss it in wet.
I have never had a problem with using Qtips. Only the buds I want pollenated get pollinated. I take the plant out of the tent to do it. No air movement. Wait a few hours spray with water and put it back in the tent. Simple.
I’m a belt, suspenders, and quality underwear kinda guy myself. I surely prefer solving problems before I have them.
You’re fine these are all topics and discussions we’re glad you’re here.
Lol this is what I do. My wife sits there and laughs at me as I try to get a whole plant shoved into a trash bag, one branch hanging out the side all goofy
This is done in shower with door shut, no air movement. Leave it 2 hours at least. Turn shower on and hose the branch. Take off bag. Hose whole plant. Back into the tent it goes.
Mine has no clue. But she smokes. I getting low. But I keep my best for last. Lol.
You can always do a half crop and then pollinate.
I have a tendency to let them get too big. My wife literally laughed for half an hour as I struggled to get two GG out of the tent without breaking them. It was ballet and krav maga at the same time.
