Best storage for cannabis pollen
    #5450844 - 03/28/06 11:01 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

I have one mail I want to collect pollen to and use for crossing later. Hoe long should I let the male plant to "mature" before collecting pollen, and how should I store the pollen afterwards? For how long can it be stored? .

:cool:

Treat the pollen like mushroom spores (sterility wise) But dont get it wet!! But you gotta try and make sure you keep it sterile so it won't mold. And store with some grains of rice or mix it with some flour.

hmm i dont get it, why should i store pollen together with flour? how should i then, afterwards, pollinate the female plants? i wouldnt store spores in flour either tho.

i was mostly wondering if polleng goes trough a maturity process and if it gets more viable with time or is there no diffrence in pollen taken from 5 day old pollen sacks and 1 month old pollen sacks.

Pollen is pollen and can't be collected from a flower that isn't mature.

When I said "Treat the pollen like mushroom spores (sterility wise)" I meant sterility wise. You don't want it molding on you.

i understand about sterility tho, but how about temperatures and degradation of pollen. can it be vacuum sealed and stored in a freezer, I kind of planning on long time storage.

Magash, but when is a male plant mature? as soon as it drops pollen? anyways, i was hoping to make this process as shortly as possible , even tho this male is in a sepeate room there is a real chance it can pollinate my females that is budding now. well then i just have to make hash of everything because if its no sinsemilla its not in my joint.

When it's mature you'll know believe me. The little pods will open and look like little flowers. When they open on a good size plant you can put a piece of paper under a flower cluster and tap it and the pollen will collect on the paper. Once they start to open the will be dust monsters and will continue to produce new pods for weeks.
The male matures way way way faster then the female so that it has time to release pollen threw most of the female flowering cycle.

Now if you have fans or air movement in the house there is a good chance some pollen will find it's way to the female. Outdoors males can pollinate a female over a mile away.

Id suggest collecting pollen on some wax paper(cookie paper) folding up the sides and tape it so none can spill out. You can add corn starch to strech it out, meaning you can pollenate more. Flour probably does the same thing, not sure though. I store it in a below room temp area.

Be sure to pollenate at the right time, theres a reason males mature quicker than females :wink:
