Hi guys...first post but long time reader.
Can anyone advise on the best methods for collection and storage of pollen.
Enjoying the hobby of growing and learning all i can.
I am growing some clones to produce feminised seeds using colloidal silver and am looking for some tips on collecting and storing the pollen for later crossing. Would freezing small batches be best...or dry low light storage. How long have you stored pollen for and still found it viable??
How does everyone store their seeds for long term? I have a vaccuum sealer also... Is that a better option? Viability?
thanks in advance for any tips or hints!!

I tried to play pollenator, I pollentated more than just one branch last time. Seed storage I just put mine in a jar just make sure you dry them, if they are moist it can promote growth of fungi and mold. That also happened, thankfully I had tones of seed :)
