Good luck bud hope its a gurl. Ive grown alot of LR2 and lr2 hybrids. If you check my journal you can see I am growin Bluestreak now (DJ SHorts blueberry x lr2) I got pics on there from my harvest as well i ended up with 2.5 lbs from 23 plants indoor :D most were about 2 - 2.5 ft tall but had some shorties. the coolest one was 5inches and there is a pic of it on my journal. If you let them go about a extra week or so they will turn purple. At least some of mine did. If you have any questions about the lr2 just holla at me and i will be glad to share my knowledge. Lookin good so far brotha!!!!
good lookin out, but this is not my first lr2 grow... i have some lr2 x's as well, but they were not bought. i do my growin outdoors this is just a winter project, i've grown about six inside this winter, did some dirt vs. hydro, then just some dirt, then this one... and i would prefer it to be male, for the pollen. the purple you talk about shows up in week 7 for me but i let my g.r. get cold at night, in fact i think this baby has purpleish leave stems anyway.... you can make almost any plant take on a purple tint just by chillin it out at night.

Hey buddy sorry to hear about the male, Ive got 3 right now on day 20 and 99% positive 2 are male and the other one has absolutley no signs of any preflowers yet not even a little bump any where at any of the nodes....It's also smaller and is different from the other 2 so I'm still hoping and have my fingers crossed that it will be a female...

I want to collect pollen and don't know of any good ways...could you please point me in the right direction?

Thanks
Peace

for your male lr2's within two weeks of sex showing you should be able to start harvesting pollen. the nut sacks will go from green to lime green and be soft when you squeeze em..... dont squeeze to hard, they are nuts.

get yourself a jar, toothpick a towel and bowl of water.

pluck the nuts that are soft and lime green, just do one first cuz they may not be ready.... hold it by the "butt" over the jar, rub the tooth pick back and forth gently where the nut sack opens, you should see the yellow powder fall into the jar..... it may take a minute to get it down (when there ready) but once you do it's like ridin a bike. then just use a paint brush to apply to the flowers of the female. make sure the pollen has a chance to dry before storing.

wash your hands in the bowl of water... now dry em.

and as far as better female rates...... buy feminized seeds..... thats about it. i usualy plant 15+ at one time.
