This is a very small plant, for seeds only. It is outdoors 12 hrs a day and in a cupboard (with its male mate who spends days in the kitchen window as far as feasible from my flowering females. But once the male has blown all its wads, I’m just waiting this female, currently outdoors but artificially forced into flower with a 12/12 schedule. I just don’t know how to give the seeds the best odds for full maturity and germination rate. No buds needed or expected. Just an F2 of this strain.After pollination switch back to 18-6 , you'll make the best seeds you ever had, and I can guarantee you if you been popping seeds from any of the bigger commercials guys you already grew seeds grown that way. However only use this method if growing just for seeds, because everything else will go to compost
Outside bugs, birds and weather can take em out. I would keep em inside.This is a very small plant, for seeds only.

I have one very small tent that is kept in veg. Flower is a manual process of moving flowering plants in and out of the tent and closet. Since I knew I would be trying to flower a male, I wanted to limit the exposure of the six other flowering plants I have, two autos (outside) and four photos (inside manual process).Outside bugs, birds and weather can take em out. I would keep em inside.
These aren’t autos. I cannot “waste” (I hate putting it this way) one of my plant count for months and months for a male.All I've done with my auto's outdoors is let them get on with it. July is flower time, and August/September its finished, as for best for end result on seeds, I'd leave it outdoors all the time, only thing I do is make sure the plant is in full sun all day, and a bit of shelter from a brisk breeze at night, or if the wind happens to get up. I know you don't want to wait until September, but its a small price to pay for decent seeds, and we all know what happens when we try growing with rubbish seeds.
so you revegged this plant while it was pregnant with seeds, and the seeds kept developing? I’ve never heard of someone doing thisAB108F is revegging and finishing seed development looking. Hopefully I have some seeds to send to @Grownsince95.

Omg Amy I am beyond excited!!!!I’d like to introduce you to AB2__ Reg set of seeds. There are 55 in total. I’m going to see if 5 will germinate now while the others dry several days. Then, 25 will go to @Grownsince95 and I will keep the other 25. @Grownsince95 maybe you can tell me what they should be properly named for storage/record keeping? View attachment 1150806
Yes.so you revegged this plant while it was pregnant with seeds, and the seeds kept developing? I’ve never heard of someone doing this
How do you store so many seeds? What’s the best way to store them so they can be used for a couple years if possible?I didn't know this thread existed. Almost all the pics I've posted on here are a result of years of breding, pollin chucking, and having some grest luck. Sprinkle a couple duds, but it's been worth it.View attachment 1156461
1st be sure to lable what is what.How do you store so many seeds? What’s the best way to store them so they can be used for a couple years if possible?
Anyone who has contemplated pollinating their own flowers to create a hybrid and done some reading has come across intimidating statements like this: "you need a 1000 plants to breed correctly!" and "hobby breeders just chuck pollen and hope for the best"...while there's tons of truth to those statements, I think a lot of learning can be accomplished with much fewer plants. Even if its just finding some great moms along the way, it will be an opportunity to go step by step through the process together with some help from all of the experienced breeders here on the farm!
