Walmart carries the half gals if there is one around.
Target Carrie's a lot of mason jars too and they participate in Shop Your Way bonus points like Kmart. When I figure out how to order from them with SYW points, it's on.

Yeah, adding rice sounds like it would work or silica gel packs. I think I remember reading something about keeping it cool but above 40F, can't remember for sure. My issue is trying to get the nanners to maturity while keeping them from pollinating near by flowers. If I only had one type of pollen I'd just let it blow willy-Billy but I have two types of pollen that I want applied to 4 specific zones so I know what the seeds will be from those locations. I'll be hand brushing the pollen onto specific flower sets.
The preadjusting of NPK while considering the differing needs of each strains seems nearly impossible to me. I don't know that I'll ever be able to be anything more than reactionary with adjustments. I've noticed that each strains needs will even change with temperature shifts. They only way I see preemptive NPK adjustments being possible is within a controlled environment. But if anyone can pull it off it's probably you.
I'd say you're gonna have to point the fans in such a way as to just barely move the air for co2 exchange. I think it will work ok. As for the NPK thing I'm just scratching the surface now I think since you bring up the many variables, but I'll be starting out more generally at first. So far I've mostly kinda just stuck with one feed all the way through flower with the pk spike around week 5 but I'd like to get a little more experience playing around with different combos. Hope I don't blow it lol. Sometimes you gotta break something to learn how to fix it.

Ran across these nutes when I was trying to figure out what to use on my first grow last year. Supposedly it's for people like you who are experts and just need to dial it in a little tighter. What you're saying reminded me about them.

I'm going to use 2 litre bottles with the bottoms cut off as a collar around the pollen flowers then cover the open end with cheese cloth or some other fine mesh. Might already have something that'll do it depending on how many microns the pollen particles are.
I found this pic in a study of pollen dispersion done on industrial hemp plants in Canada...
My review (to comply with copyright law). An interesting read for anyone looking to propagate cannabis and is concerned with minimum safe distance of receptive females from a pollen source. This paper is straightforward and just the facts.
I might cut up a thin t-shirt to cover the opening. Light will still penetrate it and should be fine enough. Maybe I'll just order 15ų screens. Still thinkin on it.

If you don't mind me asking, what country are you from? It's ok if you don't want/can't answer. Most of my early years pot was illegal here. We never imagined it would be completely legal one day and thought the petitions and protests were an ineffective and idiotic waste of time. Happy to have been proven wrong but I would rather it have continued as medical only. Full legalization ruined the market for boutique growers and the new laws blocked our ability to legally sell our products to dispensaries and delivery services (plus a 15% tax was added). Legalisation opened the way for big corporations and large out of state growers to monopolise and rape the Cali market. I still donate within a closed co-op market to undercut those pricks and continue to provide affordable high quality product for medical users who can't afford these new bullsh*t taxes. No other prescription medication is taxed so WTF?

I think a single use is preferable. At least wash and bleach between uses. Not just to sterilise any pollen but to avoid contamination by mold/microbes.

This Banana Crack is insanely good. Wish I had more beans. Extremely sweet banana flavor and the stone'll put your d*ck in the dirt.

Down here San Diego way.... been mediCal since 96? too I think. Got my rec in 2004 when I had neck and back fusion...
I went into a dispensary yesterday in my town that has a GRAND opening today. Have not been in one for years....
Want to know the price for a Oz of flowers and a gram of ice water hash?
$540 for that top tier flower
$80 gram of water hash.
Yup...legalization has priced those medications right out of the hands that need them. Fucking shortsighted and foolish if your asking me.
I donate any medication I have left over to my family and friends. :)

Pwaaahahaha! When I saw that you were still growing I thought you were in another country.
I'm in NorCal, prices are quite a bit cheaper up here, so close to the source. $300 for a zip of top tier at a dispensary. My fire goes for $100oz, and I'm doing well with that. Can pick up a lb of good bud up here for $400-$800 during harvest season.
I give away weed all over the place. At bus stops, people in cars next to me at the grocery store, at the laudromat, in front of the pizza shop, etc... I always carry at least a QP with me wherever I go. Best advertising to build up a small co-op.
I give my cousin half my grow, partly because I use his garden, but mostly because he has stage4 cancer and I want to help out.
We people from Cali are very generous with our weed. Arent we?

Sorry about your cousin dude. Hope cannabis provides him some relief. Lost my own mom and recently my mother in law to cancer.

Yup. I give away a lot to homeless people. Been there, done that, know how it feels. That's probably why we're so generous. Being in pain all the time breeds empathy.
Most of my co-op people have some sort of disability. I trade so cheap because the dispensaries are a ripp off and the people who need it most can't afford buying from them on a regular basis. All I want is my growing costs covered, food in the fridge, upgrading my growing equipment, maintenence and repair of my vehicles, and some cash for a few nice things. I'm not greedy but a fixed income is near impossible to live on in this state.

Dude is the toughest SOB I've ever known. Has had stage4 for over 5yrs and refuses to die. It's bad now, though. There are no more treatments to be done. His nine lives are used up and I'm in regular prayer for him.

I am no stranger to pain. Chronic constant pain changes how you think. Been living in a fixed income since 2004. Fuck man being able to cover grow costs would be nice! Whats the law say you can do? As far as distribution to other medical people? Can you just sell enough to cover costs? No permit or license?
