A Forum Breeding Project (in more than 5 words)

Only if you want to leave them growing next to each other all "season"

But wouldn't you just flip them in the same tent so that the flower at the same time?
Maybe I'm missing something.

I would. If stored properly, the pollen can last a very long time.

You're not missing anything really no right or wrong way. The point is to have a single pollination event that doesn't last a very long time so giving the females a little head start to have more pistils ready when the pollen starts flying saves me a week or 2 of leaving the male to keep making more pollen sacs that i don't need.

I have other tents of plants in the Room I need to think about

Oh that makes more sense, I didn't know that.
If you store it is it worse quality than if the male directly pollenated the female right from the plant?

 

[Hortulanus]

Don’t you want them to get to know each other a bit before they do the deed @Grownsince95?
Let him buy them a drink first!

Hi guys n gals n submarine racers , well ive got a start on a new breeding project down here in the far far cold south Antarctic area I’ve got a male HSC Very Cherry , which I’ll cross with the female one as well as the , cheese dawg , lemon wookiee . A good start to my season . Regards Od .

 

[Grownsince95]

Let's say you are using the method where you have stored male pollen and your using a paint brush to paint them on you wouldn't open the tent every other day and paint each new pistil you would wait until the 2nd or 3rd week and then hit them all at once right?

@One drop Do you introduce the males right from the very start and how long do you let them go next to each other?

I just painted on selected sites 14 month old pollen. Made hundreds of seeds.

Do you freeze it or mix with it with four/corn starch? If freezing, what's the best way to keep moisture out?

 

[One drop]

Put it in seed vials dip in candle wax then I leave it in the fridge works well for me

Yes I do that method but this year I’ll keep the male seperate and take pollen from him to offer it to the ladies , then I’ll do a marriage of both plants n let nature takes its corse mate . Od .

I don't mix it. I make a little glossy paper envelope. Put the pollen in, place the envelope in a jar of uncooked white rice and freeze it. Don't put it all in one envelope. Make several small batches so you don't take the whole thing out all at once.

Does pollen produced by nanners always produce female seeds? or at least most of the time?

I’ve heard that unless the plant is a true hermaphrodite it will always be female seeds.

 

[Grownsince95]

Always female. They don't have a Y chromosome to pass

always

Not in my experience but I’m opened to be schooled by you youngsters.

 

[Aqua Man]

Been super busy lately but I would be down depending on the plant types. I'm super height limited... have any parameters been set as to goals of the plant yet?

I plan on running SOG style so may not be much help but could toss in a few short plants to help hunt.

You mean Aussi nanners make males? wft Christmas in summer and now nanners makin males. Crazy world man.
