If i paintbrush it on its not gonna make the whole plant seed then just the branch yeah ?
What week of flower is best im in week 4 on a couple and week 1 on another

Just get a little brush and paint that on to lower sites. The only way to learn is do it . I'm just a pollen chucker too, but its a learning process

Yep just make sure your fans are off when u do it and usually 3 weeks when pistils are pushing

 

[Vnsmkr]

Yes thats why you just go to lower bud sites, to seed selective branches, branch

I use a q-tip, but yeah just paint it on the individual pistils you want to pollinate and I generally tie a ribbon around the branch I pollinated.

Good luck with your pollen being viable Ruby. I know people do store with success but I have never had any luck with keeping it viable for very long.

Im outdoor bro...southern hemisphere
Im just worried the pollen will spreas to the whole plant its only worth it to me if its one or two branches

I just tested a bunch yesterday @Smidge34 . I am not sure if what I have is viable either, though its been kept with rice in the fridge. Best way to keep it viable I would say is to mix it with flour and keep that in a bag with some rice. As long as it doesnt get moisture its fine. The moisture is what kills it. Also after the seeds start forming you can hose the rest of the area down to make any pollen unviable.....

Another thing is to fill a plastic bag like a bread bag with pollen, carefully slide over branch, tie off gently and shake. Gently remove. I still like to paint it on. Pick a windless day and be careful. It's tougher to seed a whole plant than you would think. You'd have to work at it lol.

The bag idea was actually suggested to me by the guy who can gift the pollen

Afghani x wonder woman
Afghani x bubblegum
Afghani x sr71

Mmmm i wonder

that was a hard lesson I had to learn! Few plants I tried pollinating the whole plants barely yielded seeds, ones I actually painted with a brush work gave good numbers of seeds. I need to practice a few different flower times post pollination, as the majority of my seeds came out lighter/whiter then I had hoped for nice turtles!

Did you let them go past your normal harvest time, so to ripen up? I mean those branches you painted them on.

 

[papapayne]

I went 35 days past pollinating. Seems need longer.
