Right on White boy! Where do you keep your males so they don't pollinate the rest of your plants? I keep males for pollen too, but I keep them in a small tent indoors so they don't mess with the outdoors females.

I kept then next to the girls for a long time untill they started showingmy males are less then 2 feet tall cause i topped them a while back. i moved them 3 days ago to the back of my property down wind from my females, I only see maybe 30 or so stray seeds on all my plants all of which are girl scout cookies as he showed pollen way befor fofana or magical mango males

Right on, I was just curious. I've put them pretty far away out in the bush before and it worked out pretty good. I got maybe 30-60 seeds off of 14 plants when I put the males outside which is fine IMO. I've been using a small tent with 8 9 watt LED bulbs and it's been working fine. I take better care of them when they're closer. I barely checked on my males when I'd put them out in the bush. Actually, when I used to put females out in the bush I'd barely check on them too, ha ha. I would't get huge returns per plant, but it was good for the amount of work I put in and there's not really plant limits out there either, ha ha :bigjoint:

I have pollen from THC bomb, royal purple kush and cherry bomb. Think I'll just store the pollen in the freezer in case I decide to do a cross over Xmas
That'll work. I've used pollen from the freezer that was at least 6 months old. I don't know if it matters a lot, but for longer term storage I make sure it's dried out well before I put it in the freezer. I let the pollen air dry for a bit and then put it somewhere cool and dark in an airtight container with some desiccant for a day or two and then into the freezer. Like I said, I don't know if that stuff is necessary, but it's worked for me. And then most importantly, when you pull it out of the freezer let it come to room temperature first and make sure all the condensation as evaporated off of the container. I do think that step matters.

Do you have a similar method for long term pollen storage?

anyone on oahu or maui checkout the new dispensaries? Curious about the quality they are producing for around $19/gram.

I just got back from Oregon and checked out a handful of shops, the top shelf stuff there is usually around $13/g but all the herb seems really dry and there was a lot of straight up garbage flowers for sale, which was surprising. Honestly made me feel a little bit better about myself as a grower...some of the stuff looked/smelled worse than stuff Ive thrown away.

I'm just learning at the moment. I did leave the pollen out for 24 hours before freezing it. I have ghost train haze 1 pollen frozen for the last 2 monthes. I'd like to try that out in a few weeks. I like to sit back and see how other growers do things. Also owe a big thankyou for the guys who showed other people on here how to make female seeds. Saved a fortune on that 1 .
