Need help with collecting pollen.

[Deathonaisle6]

I'm on day 17 flower with my orange push pop male and I'm seeing pollen on the leaves. I know what to do and how I need to collect it but all the research I've been doing says it takes about 4-7 weeks. Is it too soon for me to start collecting? Thank you for any info

It's already fucked the whole tent up. I'd cut the top off and put it in a vase and throw the rest away. Make sure to clean the tent and everything in it.

Iits a breed project I'm working on. I intentionally have the male.

It's a tent full of males. I flower my females in a different grow house. It's just my first time trying to create my own genetics and I can't find the exact info I'm looking for on when exactly it's the right time to start collecting pollen.

I see that. But you don't need the whole thing. One branch will make thousands of seeds.

You can start collecting as soon as they open.

Okay thank you so much. They just started dropping pollen on leaves yesterday but I wasn't sure if I should chop them down now or let them go a little longer.

Your research is fake news. I've used pollen from 36 day old male that worked good.

36 days is 4 weeks though to be fair.

Did they say 4-7 weeks flower or seed? If they said from seed, why were you even worried about it?

No but depending on strain, it may only take about 2 weeks of flower to make pollen. Here's day 15 flower dropping viable pollen
