So how long until I can mist this down and return to CMH light? For two days I shook a male over it and set for 1 day after culling the male.
I appreciate the advice!

she's nasty all right.
you probably don't have to let it sit near that long, but my dumb ass does.

Yeah more than long enough for sure, specially open pollinating it like that. I've been letting them sit at least 3-4 hours. Most are fine with a couple of hours, but I found a couple of phenos that wouldn't take and had to let them sit longer. The Blue Pyramid is one of those, I let that one sit overnight now to make sure it takes. I'd tried hitting it a coupe of times with 2-3 hours and nothing. Viable pollen that I knew was good, once I let it sit overnight and it took fine.

thats good to know. i have not run into a strain that required longer sitting, but based on your info i will let my unbreeded females sit longer from now on.

Cheers, it's a bitch hitting that odd pheno and getting nothing out of it so it's worth the extra time I think. Just like hitting the odd dud/impotent male, I've had that too.

Cool, thanks. That sums it up. That's what I'm doing is open pollenation. Just solos or 1 gals. 1 male per tent under a Mars Hydro, 2 little tents dedicated to flowering a male (3 weeks or so) and having females over for a 1 night stand. Clones of what's running basically. Then finish out under CMH. That's the plan. Clones kept and culled as necessary for every selected male and running female.

agree, i have run into a dud male once before. what a let down...

Sounds like a good process, the cups or 1gal pots are more than enough when open pollinating a clone, you'll get a ton of seeds.

I sucked at collecting it, so I improvised

i lay black construction paper out under my male plants. assuming its a single plant or strain. i collect from there and i usually hold black construction paper under a branch or 3 and shake it lightly.
shower or mist yourself before you visit your females

I could try that in conjunction I suppose, but I had only one space and I tossed in a plant that hermed. I was semi worried about contamination

i understand, i hear you on the contamination. i am lucky, i have room to run a few males in a separate tent.

Gals at the back at day 41/~6 weeks. Good shot of the Blue Harley and Columbian Ripper. Smelling sweet in there, quite a mix of terps on those phenos.
Added the first lot from the pheno hunt, all 2gal fabrics. There's 4x Columbian Ripper F1's and 5x Blue Ripper BX1's. #3 & #5 phenos of the Blue Ripper have that skunk piss smell Will see how they go in the stretch, may spread them out into rows of 2's once the girls at the back finish.
I should have more females in the veg tent, there's 5 potential plants that haven't shown anything yet. There's 4x Blue Ripper rks male x Blue Pyramid and 1x Columbian Ripper, still in 1gal's. They should sex by next weekend and space will become available if needed. Even the 9x 2gal I just threw in, only 4 are fully sexed, the others "look" like females, we'll soon see. Should have enough spares if a couple turn out male.
Moved 4 that are looking like males into the 32x32 tent, still in the 1gal's. There's 3x Columbian Ripper and 1x Blue Ripper. Pheno #5 of the Columbian Ripper looks and smells nice, will keep and try that one if it turns out male. A purple male would be nice
And some day 41 bud shots
