Yeh oven paper works great for collection and the pollen slides off easily into a jar.
If you only have small amounts you can mix with flour to make 2-3 times more, toast the flour in a clean pan till golden to make sure its really dry and cool before mixing
ie 1 spoon pollen to 2 spoons flour
each stigma only needs to be touched by one grain of pollen
Thanks for the help everybody. I tried all techniques suggested and have 6 separate jars so far, for redundant safety.
Here’s a pic from yesterday, theres a LOT more pollen now too
very nice little fella, plenty of flower sites
I have a male at my window spilling pollen over its leaves and paper I put under it… I have plenty of pollen from it now (it’s one of my f1’s), so I’m gonna shake the pollen into a either zip-lock bag or paper bag then bin the male,
i have a couple of leaves i took with pollen on leaves/ i put them carefully onto A4 sheet of paper and folded paper - pollen will dry some before i seal it in a glass jar etc… ;
You’ll have enough now then @Scissor-Hanz… What are you crossing, what’s the pollen from .?
Gonna pm you bud…

Excellent…!

Happy growing bro ,

Blueberry going on the hangers to dry after 60 days. Is it me, or did they go a bit lavender this time?
maybe, I wouldnt have thought it if you didnt say though
I’m unable to see past the sheer beauty of this nugget to recognize any lavender in it. Yum!!!
The only place it would look any better would be in my bong!
That’s a fade for you.
Pretty one!
Thanks, 99.
It’s a Green Crack. This one is taking a couple weeks longer than her sisters did to finish up. Not a keeper, but has the nice ‘rotten fruit’ smell.
Ahh the beautiful colors of harvest. I do have to say @Scissor-Hanz you have me quite entertained
Also, those Green Crack x Querkle sound like they could contain some very interesting offspring!
Good luck on the hunt! I’ll keep my eyes peeled!
I know i am! HAHAHAHA
If possible man!
HAHA!!
You don’t even need to ask, brother.
The pollen is stored (5 jars) and the mothers are vegging up.
edit: I’m growing one of @Muleskinner’s C99xRomberry males as an emergency backup also.
