Open poli sounds interesting. Are you treating the tent as its contaminated for the next round? I would think you need to blast everything in the tent with air or be cleaned to not have that pollen sneak up again? Seems like it creates a lot of work tho as I don't want to disassemble my equipment each run and reinstall. Is that usually the go round?
I've never done it before. It would be some work to reset but im not really churnig and burning. I'm new to everything and would like to get better at popping seeds before I even get into them.

Just spraying / wiping down all of your tent like usual would make any pollen unviable
But what I was getting at was that the fine bits of pollen could be everywhere. Fan blades, inside dehu, on the lights etc. Do you just let it blow around each time to open poli then clean like crazy? I couldn't imagine not uninstalling all my equipment. How would you know you got it all?

You can buy a big sterilite clear tub to keep males in, they have to be quite small though. You cut some breathing holes on each side and install hepa filters so the pollen can't escape. Schwaggy P's random stuff thread is a gold mine for safe pollinations.

I'm not sure how long pollen lasts at normal temps and what not. I imagine with the rh in a tent and all that, any little specks of pollen wouldn't "live" very long. Feels like how I get when I overthink stuff tbh lol.. Do your best to clean everything and let the chips fall where they may imo. There's only so much you can do within reason

Howdy Folks! I got a free 3 regular seed pack of Useful's 'Mint Chocolate Trip' - but I have no idea what to expect.. Although I see many references to it in my searching, and even found a pic of it, I'm hoping someone could fill me in on the specifics?

Would like to know it's indica/stativa percentage, recommended finish time, what to expect in smell, taste, growth structure, ect.. or any other notes that might be helpful to know.

I have no experience with Useful Seeds up to this point and I've gotta say that Mint and Chocolate definitely sounds delicious!

Thanks in advance!

Moisture kills pollen, in a 50/50 environment pollen will live for about 3 days. So spray water, clean up, raise humidity, if you can, to above 70% for a day. Anything left behind won’t be viable.
Ok so this is great info. Thank you. This means I can open poli w/o the ocd need to strip out my equipment. Sounds like a rather easy clean up too. I've been debating another tent just for this purpose. I have so many interesting seeds strains that I'm gonna have to make a few crosses.
