Depending on size and yield of the genetics and pheno them males can drops loads of pollen I'm sure gen collects plenty in a sitting. I know I did lol. I'm glad he spoke about the storage life of it too in the fridge always heard it was good for only a few weeks in fridge and have to freeze to get the 6 months at least

It will last a long time in the fridge. I keep it in little mason jars(smallest ones I can find) with some desiccant packs. I also cut it with flour, first heat the flower up in the toaster oven to make sure it is dry and sterile. I think like 180 degrees or something around there. There was a thread on storing pollen somewhere. Anyway, I know i have het girls with 6 month old from the fridge, or close to it. Some is approaching a year now, so I'll have to see if it still works.

Right on bro thanks for the info. Let me know when you try that year old pollen to see if it's viable. Does condensation build up on those lil mason jars? I have a ton of these lil plastic clear containers from Jo Ann's with screw on tops.

I put these little desiccant packets in the jars with the pollen. they absorb any moisture and keep it dry. I try to be quick when i do my thing, so the jar stays cold and goes right back in the fridge. My bitches never knew what hit them.

Finally I can start contributing to this thread. I have five males, 2x Sour Smurf, Raspberry cough, Bubblegum, and a Jamaican Pearl. I've got a mother chocolope that I cloned and I'll be running them to see how they do. Great info here on storage of pollen. I'll need atleast 3 months to run the first clones and then another two before I will pollinate the second group. I look forward to learning and hopefoully sharing some nice crosses of my own. :weed:

Nice work!! what are the parents? very frosty...

I am stoked I got seeds in the mail Friday, all of them cracked within 36 hours, gonna see if I can find a male that might improve some of my house strains.

only have 1-3 beans of each strain

Sensi - Hash plant
Mr.Nice - SSH
Bodhi - Dragon Fruit
Bodhi - Skylotus
Loud - Ganja Farmer

Those seeds will come in the mail in the next couple weeks

Archive Headband x Memory Loss
Archive Stink Bomb
SickMeds Chupacabra - looking forward to the high THCV content on that one
Sin City PowerNap
Archive Memory Loss
Mosca Blu Fin
Devils Harvest Strawberry Sour Diesel

Which of those strains are more likely to produce the best males? I generally chose one of the last male to show sex but in this case I might only have one male to chose from per strain. Out of the first 5 strains I will only chose 1 male and out of the second batch I will grow them outside so I can use as many as I want... I am almost more stoked about finding the right male to cross with some of my house strains than to actually get females with the seeds lol.

a bit of a seed bank review: I have been ordering from Single Marijuana Seeds Canada for years, and for some reason the beans never made it on my first order this year and they resent the beans, it took almost 2 weeks to get here but they were going to resend them one more time with a tracking number had I not gotten them... so fear not, they will get you the beans you paid for. Also every single seed has always grown true to description. Generally I get the beans in a timely manner too...

a post I just found through google search regarding thcv

''What some people may not know is that THCV is responsible for a soaring, ripped, high energy, focused high. Typically African landrace varieties are higher in THCV. By high I mean 2%. You wont find much higher than that. For sativa lovers that like this type of high, then I would say here is a quick rule.

Check the analytics. If its high in THCV great start! Your almost on your way to a soaring, up, heady, energizing high. Now you need to check the terpene profile.

Avoid these terpenes because they often contribute to a stoney type high or they alter the way THC affects you in a stoney way
- myrcene
- linalool
- borneol
- terpinolene

Those will cover the most common terpenes.

Now if the following terpenes are in your bud, they will enhance the affects of THCV and contribute to your energizing high.

- limonene
- pinene
- caryophyllene

Here are some strains that have in the past tested high in THCV. This wont mean that if you buy these strains they are high in THCV, every plant is different. But its a good starting point.

Strain--------Breeder---------% of THCV
Chernobyl ----TGA Subcool 2.13
Chupacabra ----SickMeds Seeds 2.00
Blue City Diesel---- Jordan of the Islands 2.00
Blue Rhino ----Positronics 1.50
Blue Hawaiian ----Jordan of the Islands 1.13
Qleaner ----TGA Subcool 1.00
Camelot Kush ----Dutchgrown Seeds 1.00
Sour Cheese---- Devils Harvest 1.00
Killing Fields F2 ----Sannies Seeds 1.00
William's Wonder ----SickMeds Seeds 1.00
Pandora's Box ----TGA Subcool 1.00
White Fire OG ----Raskal 1.00
Corleone Kush---- Cali Connection 1.00
Eldorado ----Sativa Seedbank 1.00
Stargazer ----Delta 9 Labs 1.00
Bizarre ----SickMeds Seeds 1.00
Plush Berry ----TGA Subcool 1.00
Afgooey Clone Only 0.93
Green Crack ----SickMeds Seeds 0.90
Double Dutch ----Magus Genetics 0.88
The Third Dimension ----TGA Subcool 0.83
Strawberry Diesel ----Reservoir Seeds 0.83
Green Crack Clone Only 0.75
