How would you suggest I use my pollen? Iām worried about it going everywhere like some gas lol. Is dipping q- tips in it and using that a good idea? I want to use a little a bunch of times over the next three months. Also storage of q tips put them in baggies or glass jar? I know moisture is my enemy here. Thanks for the help.
Right now itās in an envelope in freezer

Sugar Black Rose is looking good. Iām thinking of using this one as my male and keeping the crosses separate. I like the structure on this one, canāt wait to see what it fades out like.
The pollen sacks are close to opening. Hopefully there will be plenty of pollen in the next week.
Grapey Walter stretched way more than I would have liked. āHeā was quite difficult to reverse. Definitely didnāt have as many male flowers as the Sugar Black Rose.
I will still get a little bit of pollen from this āguyā. If I donāt use this now, I will try and save it for another project.
Dark Purple #1 had a rough start, but sure does have a dark purple color, as advertised. Iām hoping to keep her around long enough to get a few seeds from it.
She sure is pretty thoughā¦

Thanks for the education. After reading this thread again, you made me realize how very little I knew about autos and breeding plants to begin with. It was always āif you see balls rip it outāā¦ Certainly changed my way of thinking and food for thought. I appreciate that you take the time to demonstrate and teach others, as you are doing some amazing work. I know Iāll have to reread it a few more times to get a better understanding of it but that has nothing to do with your teaching methodsā¦lol. Awesome.
Peace

Aging myself, the bag weed of the 70ās was usually full of seed.
Absolutely ripping stuff.
One time we had a ball game in the park. After hitting a pipe full of popping seeds the whole field started blinking on and off like a strobe light in a dark room.
The dark periods kept getting longer and longer until finally I came to hours later. No memory of what happened.
My friends say I just stretched out on the sunny grass, laughing at nothing the whole time.
Good times.
Man I wish Iād had the foresight to have kept some but nixon started the war and it was pretty paranoid times for growing.
I also recall the headache weed then was seedless.

Culled the crinkly Dark Purple. Decided to peek at the roots.
Replaced it with this Dark Devil that got off to a slow start.

Hey Reiko, a quick question for the autoflower expert. Iām looking at some reg autos that are lowryder #2 crossed with fastbuds gorilla glue auto. Do you think this would be a decent cross?
Also, if i were to get a couple males and females and let them open pollinate could I expect some degree of consistency with the offspring or will they be all over the place? Iād love to have a stash of good auto seeds that behave the way I expect to fill in gaps etc. Any insight would be appreciated!

All GG strains are notorious for hermying. Butā¦ Thatās is not stopping me trying to reverse a GG photoperiod with colloidal silver so I can pollinate a branch or two on one of my sunshine daydream if one ends up a girl. Feminized GG x ssdd seeds would be an amazing frosty cross I reckon so the Hermine risk would be worth it

Oh ya I have read that, thanks for the reminder. Iād probably be doing most of the autos outside, or isolated from the regular plants so I guess the occasional nuts wouldnāt be too big of a deal haha.

Only way to know if itās a good cross is to try it. I used a Lowryder2 Male for my 2017 Breederās pack.
