Pollen? Where to get?

On the subject of this, how hard is it to pick a good male? Say I pop some PCK seeds and use the males for breeding. If turns out to be a shity male, will that equal shitty seeds?
I would love to get into breeding but would hate for them to turn out shitty.
I read rubbing the stalk is a way to tell, but seemed like a myth. All seems intimidating after reading on breeding lol.
Oh and by the way pck = pakistani chitral kush (If from CAM) suppose to be great for breeding. CAM up by you in aurora sells them and crosses of them.
Best of luck to you both!

Yea, seems like everyone is using PCK for breeding. I was lucky enough to be gifted a couple PCK males from a forum member. I've been using them for months now. I am just now growing the first wave of seeds from the PCK males, no idea what to expect.
I have a ton of PCK x Sour Grapes growing and a handful of PCK x God's Gift, excited to see what kind of plants they become.
I just did Blue Dream x PCK, Buddah's Sis x PCK, and HashBerry x PCK so I'll have those seeds in a month or so.
Rare Dankness FLO OG x PCK and 303 Seeds Sasquatch x PCK is next in line.

The seeds get a random half of the genes of both parents, so in practice at least some will but shitty. It is not hard to pick a good male, just takes time. To be sure you have to create seeds with it first, grow a bunch of those, dry and cure, smoke, and then determine if the male was good. There are however plenty of traits you can select on before and during flowering.
Rubbing the stalk can help gauge the smell/taste (even before sexed).
It gets easier once you become familiar with the lingo. Read up on Mendell and Punnett squares. You need time and space and patience above all. Breeding takes years.

i'd get in line for some unique (pure male, no forced female) pollen. seems like all the trendy strains these days are coming from some polyhybrid father. i'd take some pollen & hit a few females, then select a new male from those offspring so as to not step on your personal pollen chucking game. in denver.

I have plenty of pollen and males. My only issue is the fact I have to actually go meet a stranger in order to give it away. I don't really want anyone knowing where I live and I also don't really want to meet anyone.
I met Turnip on here and gave him my addy and let him come over, I don't even know what I was thinking. I guess I was feeling wild that day but usually I would never do that.
That being said, it worked out well. But sometimes it doesn't. My friend in Lakewood got a gun shoved in his face and the whole grow stolen not long ago. So things don't always go as planned.
I dunno, I'm torn on the whole issue. On one hand, I enjoy sharing. On the other hand, I don't want to fucking die or go to pound me in the ass jail.

I understand. I sell clones on CL all the time and I am always sketched out about meeting people. Its your call man. I can always paypal you shipping $ so you can keep your anonymity. Let me know. I am a cool dude but I do understand your concern.
Anyone else know a good way of getting pollen????

I feel you there for sure bro. Personally, I feel comfortable meeting people in public, but I dont know about my place.. I met someone from the hydro store who invited me to his place to chill and we were over there and he showed me his grow which is much larger than mine, but all inside.
Trying to figure out if I feel comfortable letting him come over to my place now.. Since he has more to loose than me, I think I should be fine? I've got plants outside though :/
Best of luck whatever you decide to do man, play it smart.
Just pop some beans and use your own males? That's what I thought of doing, but then all trial and error I guess.

I would love to keep my own father plants but as it stands I don't have the room. Just looking for some male plant nut. I have a great cut of sour blueberry I would love to make some crosses with. Anyone willing to help please hit me up.
