Thanks for the response (you too GBuddy). I'll let them finish and puff on them before I decide, but not much optimism here.

On another note, I'm taking my T5 out of the veg room and using it in a little breeding area I have sectioned off. I know you posted a pic of how you cut the branches off of your males and put them in a glass of water to collect the pollen. I like that idea! What if I wanted to let the male fully flower out au naturale in its container? What's the best way to ensure that it doesn't dump it's load all in my soil and elsewhere? Maybe a paper plate with a notch cut in it to fit around the trunk of the plant that would just sit on the lip of the container?

Got a nice looking sweet skunk male that I'm gonna pull out of the flower room and attempt to collect some pollen...

i just started running a tent like all my serious breeder friends with a 6 inch inline connected to a hepa mushroom. it creates "negitive pressure" and makes blowing off a male easy . i take a 12"X12" sheet of glass and tap branches onto it then collect to freeze using a "static free brush" you also can thow in females and pollenate au natural.
a clear plastic "pvc greenhouse " in your regular room would work too...

So if left undisturbed (no fans blowing) the male won't just drop his pollen all over? You need to tap the branches a bit to shake the pollen loose?

Man, I feel like a noob all over again with all of these questions. :dunce:

I promise I'll share if I don't fuck this up!

Edit: that mini PVC greenhouse sounds great btw!

you can cut a few branches off to see if he's ready.
usually a good visual inspection will tell you which branches to trim.
hold a piece of glass, or a plate, under the brach & clip it onto the plate.

you can "tap" the pollen out.

less plant material (actually none at all) is the best way for storage.

i love the clear plastic tent idea. smart shit right there.

in theory yes . but in pratice i have found collecting the days efforts and drying / storing it DRY! help . as mishaps happen as do high humdity days where clumps happen . just stop and let it dry down to at least 50% humidity .
no fans helps but no soil helps too lol sometimes ...they drop in reverse of a female dropping pistols . hehehe. middle to top .... depending on type i have kept live cuttings with a drop of bio ag tm7 for 3 weeks and collted skads of foodog pollen for a f4 that will be cheap for me to run 1000's of seeds and see if loompa is talking out his loompa.....:)

I've definitely had males drop some pollen on themselves untouched. But once he's far enough in, even the slightest bump will drop a good amount of pollen.

When I produced seeds indoor I always did it natural. Never used stored pollen.

I kept it simple. Fliped to 12-12 for the girls and kept the male on veg until the girls are at least one weeks at producing pistols. Then I put the male in flower. When the balls are a few days away from releasing first pollen I took him into a other cabinet ( no speacial insulation no exhaust fan ). After first pollen was detected the girls came into his cabinet for 3 days. After that Male was removed from the show. Girls kept for one more day in the extra cabinet and sprayed plenty next day back to the maingrow. Never had any plants pollinated from the pregnant mamas or my cloth.

Not a good idea tough for pollinating multiple plants with different males pollen in a short time. But for me it worked well because I used only one male in the game at a time.

Nice! Sounds like what I've been doing. My favorite way to make seeds so far is to take small clones of the male and females involved. Once rooted, immediately send them to flower (females a week before males). Few weeks in, I start shaking the male to impregnate all the ladies around him. Bit easier for me than segregating a branch.

I mixed up some STS and finally after 4 weeks (spraying one branch once a week) got some pollen sacks growing.
I don't have a separate room for the half male plants and have to try and catch them before they open.
How big is a mature pollen sack?
I'm assuming about the size of a seed.

First of all hang up the light a secure way. The plants are hard to kill and to me it looks like they could recover. Take clones then sex the actual plants and go on with the clones for the next round.

hey man you should be thankful it did not burn down the house ....
i might be temped to leave them for a few days after cutting some clones to see if they pull thru . unless you can fill the space with other plants.

It doesn't look like it broke at the base. I would just cut an even canopy at the point where it broke. In a few weeks, I bet it would be a bushy monster. I guess it depends if you have the room.
