Yeah, I have the same mini dehumidifier and a container with gasket lid. Leave the seal open mistakenly and drive humidity in room up to over 80% was my issue. I might have even gotten away with it but that dehumidifier was plugged in to recharge. Timing is everything.

Especially if you are using the “Rhythm Method” to avoid a pregnancy.
Don’t ask me how I know………

Doug, i would think you should still be able to gather a significant amount of pollen, and you could always cut it with some corn starch or other filler if needed.

Oh yeah, I have not lost hope, I collected some last night. Definatly producing less than they have been but there will be some. Just annoys me to lose an oz and a half of great pollen to such a silly thing but I can go back to one of my favorite sayings

OMG! That is the worst cannabis disaster I have ever heard of. I don’t know what to say after such a tragic event. Holy shit. My deepest sympathy for you brother. Dust yourself off kick the door down and ramble on.

Yeah, I am hoping, the yields have come way down but I will keep collecting. I am still drying that other stuff so who knows, I think it’s toast but I will try to pollinate the Grape Punch with it to verify. I also picked up one of those ammo containers that @Gpaw showed. It’s got a latch so it will ensure the thing is closed going forward

Hey Doug, I’ve been following, bud. I’m really proud of you for trying hard. Even with small setbacks, you are getting more experienced, and better all the time, and this was a major success, despite some typical and small setbacks. I’m really proud of you for your time and effort spent, and I’m proud to be a part of it here with you. You have done awesome, and we have all enjoyed. It’s been beautiful. Cheers, bro.

Sorry to hear that Doug. Shit happens though, unfortunately.
Thats a real bummer for sure.
I guess Tigger is off the hook this time! 
He must be in the good books now. 
It could have been worse. Such as spider mites! 
Could always attempt to re-veg a male? 
At least your girls are all well pollinated! Thats a plus!

No, just going to keep collecting and go with what I get. When this run is over I will be done till September so I can go spend the summer in the woods for maintenance to my soul 
After that it’s on to the BOG Lifestar repro.

My buddy says mix with whole wheat flour as soon as gathered, or now to remove moisture and save any living. His humble opinion.

May I ask what is your secret to collecting.
I use a paper plate and the quick flick method, I am sure I can improve on that.
Do you use a paper bag or similar?
Thanks

Thanks man, I may give that a shot. It’s drying out as we speak with the dehumidifier, just have no idea the damage it did. I will be testing it’s viability on some Grape Punch soon and we shall see if it’s good or now. At least I am getting more and a quarter oz of pollen is not a bad start.
No secret bud, I take a metal bowl and smack each branch into it and than smack it a bunch of times till it stops dropping pollen, than move to the next branch. Some branches end up breaking as I go but I just tuck them in and keep moving. Takes some time but the results speak for themselves. It also puts a ton of pollen everywhere else but I deal with that after the run.
