After selecting the male I hit indicas at the 3.5 to 4.5 week mark and sativas at 4 to 5 week point. Seeds need 3 to 6 weeks to develop fully, I prefer to paint a couple bottom branches with pollen over open pollinating, this gives me some beans to play with and some killer 90% to 95% sinsemilla lol.
I'm far fro being an actual breeder but it's all about the selection process for desired traits such as high , stability, and formation etc. Ive made seeds before pollen chucking is very easy. Working multiples generations to isolate a trait and somewhat stabilize a strain requires a lot more knowledge and experience that I don't have. Research dj short, Neville,shanti baba,chimera for extensive knowledge from experts.
now, as far as pollinating your selected ladies, this is again just my method.
when my ladies are ready...about 2-3 wks in depending on variety...you want to see a good amount of pistils because that's what will be pollinated...
i shut off all my fans in the room around the time the lights will be going out. pollinate each branch i want with a q-tip and label each so i don't forget. let them sit at night without fans running for 12 hrs. some peeps say 24, but 12 has always worked for me. before your lights come on, go in and spray with ph'd water all of the plants so any rogue pollen is destroyed. once saturated, turn on your fans and let the ladies dry before turning on your hid. once dried, light goes on and your back to normal. seeds need 4-6 wks to fully mature.
just how i do it. hope this helps.
