I just did my female with my male. After words i took a pill bottle and collected the pollen. Store in a dark dry place. I think it good for like 6 months,. Also they sell pollen presses. I a total NUB! So dont take my advive and run. I reasd something about freezing and so on but i cant remember if it was for it or against it!

If I remember correctly, pollen can be stored by putting in a air tight container, then placed in fridge for short term. For long term, the freezer. But, "Fresh pollen is best". My method, because the male pollen is ready way before the female is ready, I plant 3 or 4 seeds a month or so after the original grow, so at least 1 of 3 will be male. Then I can have fresh pollen when needed.

Like they said use the fridge or freezer to store otherwise it will turn to mold.

thanks i will collect it in a few days when i poll the females again, i was going to do it 3 times then destroy the male, so it dont poll my big girls.
i belive pollen can travel miles.
