i seriously use a 4x4 flood table in my basement.surely you have somewhere you can set up even a 3x3? ps. i reuse the bags as well

I have 4 tents in a 12x20 in ground building. Its built into the hill side, kinda like a cellar. So the top back and each side are underground. Only one wall that has the door is open to the outside. It was used as prisoner bunker at one point. It was built in the mid 1800s. With the tents setup it doesnt give me a whole lot of room.

hahaha i dealt with this same problem forever. that’s why i started recycling it. if you let it dry it’s easy to pull the bag off, hold the “stump”, and shake the dirt into a container. then i mix up some sledgehammer in 5 gallon bucks, then spray away with a house, after all that i let it dry and reuse.

I literally have over 150 pot shaped dirt clumps. Stacked all around the walls on the inside. They give extra insulation in the winter though. Bc the walls are pretty much rock, brick, and dirt. Concrete floor that was put in at a later date. That's not even close to level lol. But thankfully it was put into a hillside and not dug into the water table.

Is there a general consensus on the best way to collect pollen?

I agree with THT, to each their own, but this worked fine for me recently for collecting. I think this is just colored poster board or something like that from the art supply store. When the sacs started opening I just went in once a day and held this sheet under a branch and gave it a few taps with the paintbrush. Pick all the flowers out and give the pollen time to dry before you pack it up.

You should make prints of that, and sell them on etsy. #pollenart. #orgimoonscaapes

yeah i had the same problem with 3 gallon bags. I just couldn’t sleep with all that unnecessary incriminating evidence. it won’t look very good in court when you try and argue that you grow for yourself.

Thanks,that is what I was wondering. Would each male need its own contained unit? Is it best to flower out each one on its own, collect, store?
Like I said I am a total noob when it comes to anything other then chopping anything that shows male flowers lol
Cheers

That is what I'm planning on doing. Flower out one male then a couple weeks last start the other, collect off the first one and toss then the 2nd. I'm gonna flower out my tang pow male in a few weeks and then hopefully find a male in the 5 goji beans I just popped and flower him out next.

Too easy to get random pollen if both males are dropping at the same time, imo.

Just put pollen in envelopes in the freezer and use when needed.

I just wanted to take a second to say "Thank you" to everyone that I sent 1st run beans of the tangerine power male.

Ever since I started growing I wanted to get my weed out to people. Not for the money but just for the gratification of knowing people were smoking top notch weed I brought to existence. The money was fudging nice too but I loved showing up to a party on the other side of my town of over 250,000 people and having someone hand me a joint of my weed knowing I didn't grow it. It was weed from a clone that I gave to several people who then gave it to several people. From hippies to gang bangers, as a musician and skateboarder back then I hung with a motley crew for sure, lol.

When I started growing in 2002, I was the only person crazy/stupid/smart enough to order seeds from those ads in high times. I did and the first purchase was for skunk #1 feminized by dutch passion, and later that year blueberry regulars from DP, and I haven't stopped buying seeds since, lol. I passed clones of that skunk #1 all over and that was the weed that would show up everywhere. But straight from the start I was a firm believer in passing cuts around. If it's good it's my joy to bring that to as many people as I can.

That's why making beans is so awesome. Much easier handing out beans than cuts,.

So long story short, I'm honored to know folks are interested enough to grow out any of my crosses and hopefully everyone has positive results. Next round should be finishing up around Christmas or new years. Cheers.

I did have some issues in seedling stage with my trial run of the tang pow cross which the plants over came and have overall been really nice plants as far as ease of growth, structure and resin/terps. I had to cut 1 of 3 female citrus twist early on because it had many balls on several bud sites and I cut down a 2nd citrus twist at week 4ish of flower because she was too big. Plus that citrus twist smelled and looked just like my cut of miyagi and I'm burnt out on her smoke, lol I've ran her for several cycles now and the jar is too full. I only found balls on the miyagi x tp and no one has reported any herm action on the goji cross, so at least 3 females no issues from reports back.
Cheers and thanks

Are you ever really concerned about contamination from reusing a paper product or do you wipe it with a sponge to deactivate any residual pollen when done? This is part of why I use wide parchment. Crumple it up and toss it out afterward.

I won't be reusing it (toss it). Next time, I'll use a new piece, or whatever's handy. A good wipe down of everything, for sure.

High folk's. So it took me a little longer to get moved ans settled. Almost 3 months from when i had to pull everything for the house check. I though it was going to be week's !!!!
Anyway, the important thing is i managed to keep nearly all my cuts, and finally got round to getting growing.
Ive got a GG4 and a Fireballs ( Gen. cut ) my mate assumed i would tell apart. Ive only ran the glue the once before and will be my first time growing the Fireballs. I put down a few HSS x Mimosa and D.B x Mimosa pip's ( as i cant help myself ). Here's hoping i can get things going from now with no more moves.

Im thinking this is the Fireballs:
