How long do you wait before rinsing?It's simple pull plant out around week 3 and apply pollen in a closed no fan ,no breeze area . Paint it with a paint brush or q tip (pollen) on to the bud sights you wanna pollenate and label them , I use a twist tie and usually do the entire branch. Then spray the entire plant down with water and allow to dry , some keep out entire 12 hr flower but not nec
After plant finishes you should have at least 100 beans a limb
Best of luck
Absolutely! It's how brother Loran taught me to do it. I don't recall that he covers the branch with a bag, and I've never done it myself, either. I'll be making some seeds this year with some Skunk ladies, they're outside so I'll do it early in the morning when the wind is calm.I have one really sweet Golden Lion GSC Forum x DubKing female plant and would like to try to produce some seeds off of her. I also have some fresh Big Bud x DK pollen.
Is it possible to pollinate just two bud sites on the GSC using a paint brush dipped in pollen without impregnating the entire plant? I've read that some folks do this using a paintbrush and then cover the bud site with a bag for a few days.
Use a waterpaint brush, flex the shoot to be pollenated away from main plant. Apply pollen by dabbing not brushing as youll flick pollen in the air. The pollen grabs the pistles and are pretty stationary.Its the pollen that falls ontge leaves that you worry bout but that why u dab so whatever falls gets caught by the trichs not to float away. All it takes is 6-8 hrs for the genetic info to transfer as the pistleswill wilt, then spray with water and return to the group.
But thats being safe, i pollenate in my tent with girls around, just shut down all fans, and get max 5-10 beans from cross pollenation. U dont know until u experience it for yourself! So go for it!!!
Covering the branch with plastic may lead to condensation considering the environment. Maybe a paint strainer material dipped in oil then wipped down thoroughly to catch particles like a k&n filter, lol just a thought!
The pistils will start turning amber/brown and within roughly 24 hours die cause they did their job. Like so:How do you now if the pollen has successfully impregnated the painted budsite/s? Do the calyx's dry up?
Wilting will confirm pollenation then youll see abnormal swelling in the next 2-4 days.
Right after your finished think of it as sperm once it's on the bud sight the damage is done ......How long do you wait before rinsing?
