I am talking mass market ....they dont have the space to grow out and cross pollinate there grows ...closet grows ...for u and i not a problem ...but not so easy for everyone else...
If you had proven males that cranked out predictable fire, you don't wanna give out pollen. Those are rare, valuable, and it takes so much work to even know if the Pollen is solid. A teener of AAA pollen would be worth $2500 at the least IMO. Plus, the way breeding is done these days it's elite cut x male. The male you have is the only thing setting you apart from other breeders. Your gonna breed yourself out of a job.
I let a male bloom out in the greenhouse, cut branches off and put them in a small glass of water for three days, collected pollen each day, changing out the glossy newspaper ad each day. Then cut another group of braches after the first batch is drooping.View attachment 465814View attachment 465815View attachment 465816
I currently have 6 boys I keep clones of.... much more reliable than trying to store pollen. Sour Bubble, Blue Moon Rocks, FloScout, Ashratu F-1, and Khalisi. Ashratu and Khalisi are yet unproven. I got a few friends growin out Coot's TO. I hadn't tried the BO, but I've heard good things. A haze cross should be tasty. As for the "swami" lol... well, I dont personally fit in to that cult.

This last summer I used 1 of 4 jars of stored Pollen on outdoor plants with little success I still have buds to go through for beans but I haven't ran into any chunky pregnancy nuggs.....I completely blame myself, tougher then i thought.I doubt pollen would ever be listed for sale...its so so so sensitive to everything... If you store it in a freezer and take it out even for a few seconds the condensation on the outside of the container can be enough to spoil the pollen. I know multiple people that have bought or been gifted stored pollen and half didn't get any seeds, half only got a few...I personally have never had success with stored pollen, unless its less than a week old.
Like someone said before, male cuts are the way to go if you want pollen, its the only way to guarantee.

Likely has to do with when the pollen was collected. A lot of folks do their seed production with outdoor summer crops, but usually use fresh pollen, not stuff thats been stored for months.Studies have show summer pollination less successful than winter.
How old was the pollen? What way was it stored? Sorry to hear about your success rate broThis last summer I used 1 of 4 jars of stored Pollen on outdoor plants with little success I still have buds to go through for beans but I haven't ran into any chunky pregnancy nuggs.....I completely blame myself, tougher then i thought.
That says that pollen for certain crops is only viable for a certain number of days and hours! Thats crazy, but i suppose true.Interesting though ...for sure fresh in summer time ...
