u can cut your pollen... up to 100 times with a fine flour.. just putting that out there

I've read that flour can attract moisture, something like cornstarch might be better.

• Desiccation sensitivity in pollen
• Pollen viability testing

Here is some random study on pollen and storage I found. Truth of the matter is there is very little research yet on the storage of cannabis pollen.




Pollen storage

• Desiccation sensitivity in pollen
• Pollen viability testing

Plant breeders have enlisted pollen storage to expand their choice of parents for crosses, as it enables the hybridization of parents that do not flower synchronously. For those species with appropriate pollen storage characteristics, pollen storage may be advantageous for preserving genetic samples of germplasm accessions. Stored pollen can provide germplasm samples exempt from quarantine restrictions, preserve large samples of genetic diversity in small volumes, and supplement field plantings.

There are at least three disadvantages to pollen storage. In species with strictly maternal cytoplasmic inheritance, any cytoplasmic variants will go unpreserved. See link for definition ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extranuclear_inheritance ) Pollen cannot be used to generate a seed (or a normal plant) without an appropriate female parent (Roberts, 1975), so suitable seed parents must be maintained. The accurate measurement of pollen viability has not been as extensively studied as has been the measurement of seed viability. In the absence of standards, the manager must perform experiments to establish useful protocols for measuring pollen viability.

Another possible disadvantage that has not been widely tested, but has been examined by Pallais et al. (1986), is that various pollen haplotypes may have differential longevity in storage and differential viability in response to conditions during sample preparation. Roath et al. (1988) employed an isozyme marker to track allelic frequency changes, associated with pollen storage, in progeny produced by pollinating sunflower (Helianthus annuus) inbred lines with pollen samples stored in liquid nitrogen and under conventional refrigeration. No significant differences in allelic frequencies were detected between the storage conditions, although overall pollen viability declined more rapidly in the refrigerated sample than in the sample stored in liquid nitrogen.

So I don't know if I've mentioned this but I have pollen that's been stored for about 22 months or so in not so ideal conditions with vegetation and moisture and in and out of freezer garage and storage unit that will be tested sooner then later hopefully by someone and I will report results at that time
