been following and very impressive grow sir. I have an ice cream wedding cake that I might have to get a sprinkle of your nut juice to see if we can create a monster with. that is of course if you would like to share.
No, this is new to me. But apparently it can stay viable up to a year this way. It just has to be dry before I freeze it. And the Alcohol is just so that when I remove it from the freezer it warms up very slowly preventing any condensation in the vial.
My concern with that is that it could rupture the cells before it dries it out enough. It only takes a couple hrs to freeze but it can take days/week to freeze dry.Interesting. This is the exact reason that I freeze it in containers that aren't completely airtight- so the freezer pulls out moisture.

Use those little glass syringe for storage. When you need to use the pollen, it's just a push of your thumb.Pollen from the Forbidden zkittlez Bx1 male is collected, that plant was one out of 5 FZ males I had and it turned out massive with huge dense clusters of pods. I think it's going to be quite the stud. I just might use some on a branch of the BMS bx1 as well as making some F2's of the FZ.
Its drying in a box on parchment over rice for a few days now, I'll put it into a little glass vial, them vacuum seal that and store it in isopropyl alcohol in the freezer.
Quite a bit of pollen shook out of this one top. For anyone curious, ai collected it in a large ziploc. I used an unscented dryer sheet to remove the static first then just slid the bag over the male top, flipped it upside down and shook it like crazy lol. Then separated out the green flowers. Worked really well.View attachment 1024303
@Dirtbag still using liquid or combo or fry ferts now?
Sorry I pay so much attention to the plants I miss things.
Good idea, where do you get the glass syringes? Couldnt you just use a regular 1ml syringe?Use those little glass syringe for storage. When you need to use the pollen, it's just a push of your thumb.
Clones look great, perked right up. So healthy they almost look fake plastic.. I have to say I think I like this fertilizer. The plants have been very healthy on it so far. Garlic breath's leaves are getting weirdly big. This strain is coming out of left field.. I was very excited for the BMS but the garlic breath which was a freebie bonus pack is dominating the room so far. Really cool, the bud development on each will be the true test. But I'm rooting for this GB! It's such a dominant Alpha plant.View attachment 1024003View attachment 1024001View attachment 1024002

Sheesh.Getting congested in here.... hoping to see what these are and pull some males in the next few days.

Need a bigger shed, I reckon.Swung into the hydro store today for pollen vials and snagged a pack of freebies. I was ready to be done with JOTI but I guess I could give him another shot lol. Hopefully these are better than the last beans I popped of his.
I've got a damn backlog of seed now lol, I won a couple packs from a potm contest over on another site back in July and have had half a dozen Amateur and pro breeders send me packs of testers in the last few months. Not sure when I'm ever gonna get around to these... lol. I just wanna keep popping dfg lol.
I've had an excellent example of blue god from jordan in the past, fingers are crossed tightly that these perform.
