How Do You Catch Your Sperm?

[mrgrowguy]

I've read a lot, hoping to get some new ideas.

What method/process do you use to collect pollen?

So far I have been directly dousing a fine paint brush and touching it straight to the branch I'm pollinating, but was thinking about doing a collar method to collect and store. Looking for some ideas from first hand experiences.


Please share.

Thanks @SeaF0ur

The iso chamber is possibly in my future.

If I run a dedicated tent to males, I may even use this just to be able to run multiple strains at one time and not pollute one another...

SeaF0ur taught me everything he is the man!

here's a shot looking through the top of that other one now that its full and ready to go...

thats 1 male... 4 females...

That's nice, Is that a male with females?:) If I stick with smaller pots I may be able to put a female or 2 in my chamber also. I have a lot of strains I wanna seed lol :rolleyes:

If you had 5 of those chambers @SeaFOur you would have a seed company rolling lol good stuff man. I just got these today at Dark Horse. I'm hoping for some good males!

I've had extra male I guess a second place one and read about just putting the branches in some cups of water to finish them off. I got a decent amount doing that recently.i put them in the cups when the first bits were start to open with some clamp lights12/12.It wasn't much but it was enough to do a little something with.

I lut a dcreen over a bowl and knock the branches on the screen

Yes! Thank you all.

I was actually thinking about putting a breeding pair in an iso also. For seeding a whole plant and collecting pollen, that's a great idea.

Thank you, everyone!
