Hi OG fam! I hope I am in the right spot for this post. What are these vials called? I want to know what to look for on eBay or whatever to order some for pollen and seed sharing.
Thank you!

@Instg8ter I got the plain old clear ones. I missed your post. Blue would be sweet! I am going to be pollinating some LA Confidential sometime soon. Private breeder on Strainly. 100% germ, he knows what he is doing! Going to store pollen (cut with flour) in them too. Do you store pollen? I tried once before and I flubbed it somehow, not viable. I see I am supposed to bake the flour and then store finished product in freezer in Thermos? Does this sound right?

Once out of the freezer you can’t put back in so if you plan on multiple breedings divide it into baggies before you freeze. 25% pollen to 75% baked all purpose flower at 225f for at least half hour. I have 5 crosses I hit with Pineapple Thai stored and sent after frozen and all branches I painted had 20-40 seed so far…

Awesome! Thank you! That’s why I was thinking these tiny vials would be a the perfect choice. Just take one out for breeding and keep the rest frozen. Divide the strains in baggies for quick access. Crazy how delicate the pollen is!

The member who sent said he has had viable up to a year but it loses potency I guess…my girls seemed to like a taste of Pineapple Thai. I’m gonna start Pimping out my Manwhores, just made them a Cave separate from the Jungle, carrying about 5 nice Cultivars now.

Oh so you can ship pollen? That’s cool it works. Most posts I read make me thankful I live in the tundra in the winter to be able to take the thermos out of the freezer and bring outside in the bitter cold to find what strain I want without the rest thawing out.
Any tips on filling those tiny vials?
