i want to try to breed my own seeds but i dont have the space to keep a male bye him self. i was woundering if its ok to cut off most of his branching untill there is just one with a couple off sacks on it.

Right now i am growing pappaya, cosmic lights, ak 48 and purple power!!!!!

Yes...put him under some flouros and 'bonsai' him down. As soon as you are within a week or two of desired pollination, you could go ahead and take pollen from him. Just keep it dry and cold (fridge) and it will last at least a week (maybe 2). LL could give you tips on that...

you can isolate the male and collect pollen anytime. Then simply store it in an "airtight" container, with a desicant, in the 'fridge for future use. I've succesfully stored like this for up to a year.

try following the instructions here http://www.marijuanapassion.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5958

and as Hick stated....we have kept pollen in the fridge in a sealed container and it was viable after 4 months...and is still sitting in the fridge waiting for the next lady to get a sprinkle

can i force open the sacks to get the pollan, or does it matter to wait untill they open them on their own..
