I like to use things that i already have around the house for my grows. here's a ghetto male chamber with led's and cfl's. with a thick filter over the top.
That's neat` Dr Candyman...2 questions.
How do you collect the pollen?
How do you pollinate?
Thanks ckt
i pollinate by wrapping a branch with a shop towel/ paper towel. and i just dust individuals branches with q-tips.
Thats pretty crafty man.. So do you just keep that box on a 12/12 light cycle? Can ya explain a lil more how ya do the breeding? GTD
in the future i will work with few strains and fewer males. i want to try to bring people the best quality that i possibly can.
Candyman that is a good way to work man. Have you ever thought of using a Transparant big plastic box ore closet inside your flower room. You can use those pollen filters they use for people with grass alergie's they take all the pollen that would fly out the exhoust of the box. I think JLP did a thread on it once.
I persenoly use a seperated closet to flower my male's
Well thank you, you just helped me figure out how Im gonna Isolate my male keeper when the time comes. Cheap and effective..OK So say I get this 10 pack of beans. I want to make more of these beans because its so kill. So if I take a male Isolate it and put it under 12/12, take some of that male pollen and dabb it on the chosen female. What week in flower do I want to do this to my females? Do I have the right Idea? Also does spraying down the rest of the plant except the branch you want to pollinate, keep the pollen from pollinating the other flowers on the plant? thanks again GTD
I normally, cover the whole plant with clear plastic bag, except for the branch to be pollinated. apply pollen to the branch and cover with sandwich baggie. After 24 hours I remove the baggie and spray down the branch, i then remove the bag from the rest of the plant.
Dr. CandyMan has a great method, I really like that chamber!
