I got 2200 seeds on the chuck I did last year, it was an outside plant in a pot. Not super huge but the male was a beast and the same size. I put her under the male and gave it a couple of shakes.
So, maybe it’ll go that way. I forgot how many you were running. Best vibes.
Seems like you would get a large count if you put the male together with the females for a little while. Or, did you have to paint them? That’ll give less depending…
It amazes me how many can hide in a single small bud. I thought I could tell from looking at the plant while in flower but some just get covered over and I ended up with many more than expected.
I did the painting buds with a pair of Sinai and it produced 10 seeds. I left Hindu kush hybrid male with several females for 3 days and stopped counting seeds at 4,000. A few days and a fan made a huge difference.
Hmm …I have a male dropping pollen atm and I had him with the females until I saw him dropping then removed him. I caught a few of the ‘spiders’ dropping. and put them in a baggie. A few hours later I thumped them with a finger and there was a little pile of dust on the bottom of the bag. I took a qtip and applied the dust into a few buds. If I get 10 -15 good seeds per fertilized bud I’ll be happy. But hoping for a few more than that.
I don’t really want 5,000 seeds. Would prefer I had some to smoke.
I never have to buy seeds of the strain again. One plus of having lots of seeds is that I can germinate a lot and select best to flower. I will open pollinate my landrace but the polyhybrids are usually grown for bud only
