Actually I meant the opposite. The more seeded those coloas are or the whole plant is for that matter, the longer and smaller the seeds seem to be. Not that Ive noticed any differences in seed size being a contributing factor to identifying select plants. But the more the plant is seeded the more work it has to do to mature all those beans. I run my females after they have been seeded with a medium fertilizer regiment, and no need to boost the Phos like you would if your growing sensimillia. Definately keep the N and K in the regiment and don't cut them out.
So yes, you can overload a plant with male pollen and what I generally see is alot more white seeds that dont mature properly along with the majority of what the plant is producing. But ultimately in the end, it doesnt really matter Medusa, this is all just the small stuff when it comes to breeding. Seeds are going to come no matter what. Its the selection process that is the key to it all. And feel free to pick my brain anytime Medusa :)
@JAWS Already got the bug buddy ! Along way off from ever being close to called a breeder thou and I know that ! but thats how u learn is by your mistakes and success .. plus getting to join in this challenge and learn what to look for PRICELESS.. Thank you very much but I am concerned Sharky your unable to take a bath if your always pollinating in your bathtub !!!! hehehehLOL God I love this guy!!i have lights on in the day lights off at night so when breeding time comes i pull the girls out take them to the bath room and begin the dusting process, ones there all dusted and placed into the tub the thats its for the rest of the day. later on before there sleep time comes ill go in and shake the piss out of them but GENTLY while spraying them with a mist, after that i just turn the lights off and wait for morning. next morning they another shake and spray and spent the whole day in the tube, that night like an hour before lights out i'll usually spray/shake one more time then place back into the flower closet.
i once believed that water and light was a pollen killer and it is to some degree but after all these years of making seeds i don't really buy into that any more, mainly because of my own success with breeding and always having my plants dusted in the light of day and still getting great result. also the thing about water being a killer i don't think that's a given ether unless you spray while dusting and i don't think any one will be doing that ever.
from what iv'e learned the breed is pretty instant ones the pollen hits the hair's its a done deal, i'm not a master nor even a pro but iv'e made 1000's of seeds and a couple hundred pieces over the 11-12 years iv'e been making seeds. its very addictive so make sure your ready for addiction your about to get into!!!.
much respect:writing:
No worries Medusa. Your still going to end up with beans that you can play with, its just they will be smaller and peobably not get to dark or tiger stripped, but alot of them will still pop. But more so, consider it a learning experience. All Of us who have tried to make beans runs into this little snag at some point or another and then we learn our lesson.@JAWS Man sounds like I am going to have a bunch of little rice seeds. Because they were covered. This subject has not been covered here ! Just goes to show the knowledge I learn everyday and everyone else for that matter. Will show pics of what I get. Do u spray them with water after ? This is the first time have done it this way didn't want to pollinate my flower room and move them back in. Thanks Master Sharky. And Johnny Aka Loompa. M
:eek:

No shit they would need a 4 bathroom house thou. Just being a funny snake.Man jaws and loompa dropping advice you can't lose medusa honestly the two of the grow some of te best looking buds on tho forum jaws starfighter crosses an his dpd's or his dark matter and those black cherry crosses then loompas foo dogs snowmans moondawgs yetis and bubsters imagine if those two decided to rent a house together and bring there minds together collectively on a breeding project probably the most beautifully sugar crusted buds with some straight stank an dank.......

As far as spraying plants down after you pollinate them, that is dependant on what your goals are and the technique your using. If your using specific select female that is in the same room flowering as with your sensi stuff, then thats when I will bring the plant to be pollinated outside and dust her. Ill then let her sit for 12 hours or so and then I will spray(with a sprayer) her down to wash off excess pollen and also help kill off viable pollen thats still on the target female. You can then bring it back inside with the rest and be assured your not going carry in unwanted pollen.
But if your open pollinating a whole room, then theres no point to spraying them off. There may be some other reasons a breeder would spray plants down that Im not aware of, I definately dont know everything, but Im pretty sure thats where your reference to spraying a plant down after pollination came from.
Thats just my take and what Ive learned over time, and once again, here comes @JAWS with a great answer to help out. Maybe he'll know of another reason someone might spray a plant down.
@JAWS : Karma +1 Dude, thanks again for chiming in with your insight also. Its great having another breeder around and your input is invaluable. Thank you kindly sir! :)
There is just so much wisdom in your talk Loompa, that's really inspiring! I'm gonna copy these words in my notebook and quote you all the time now :writing:So yes, you can overload a plant with male pollen and what I generally see is alot more white seeds that dont mature properly along with the majority of what the plant is producing.
