If i'm not mistaken i think you pollinate 3 weeks into flower.Jamez said:I was just wondering if any one knows at what stage should you add pollen to your bud for seeds. I was going to pollinate only one bud. I grow indoors under 400w hps in soil.
HGB said:pretty much when the male starts drop'n if the plants where started at the same time... tiss a mother nature thing and she is never wrong
2-4 weeks into flower this will happen... just try to go at least 4 weaks after breed'n to insure good fertal seeds
poo can happen tho.... have a male right now that started drop'n 3.5 weeks into veg just hope'n he wont stop for awhile as I'm still 2 weeks away from need'n him.... (had to toss him outside)
grow on
Good luck Jamez hope you get yourself a bunch of beans man.Jamez said:Thanks guys,
I am one week in now, I have the pollen in a bag . I heard somewhere that male sativa always fowers first and if you take the latest flowering pollen you stay closer to indica. I took the latest flowering pollen so heres hoping cheers guys.

Hick said:Have you thought of collecting the pollen now, while he's dropping and storing it for later when youneed it?
And, can I ask if you have a reason for chooseing such an early flowering male as your pollen donor?
I've read that the earlier flowering males are not always the best candidate for pollen. I belive based on the thought/theory that the secret to finding exceptional qualities, lie in the recessive traits of late flowering males.
I'd have to do some digging, but Ihave the article somewhere.
"NOT" critisizeing our breeding tactics, just wondering if you had any thoughts on the subject.
Jamez said:Oh that thing about sativa and that, it goes like this. If you were to leave say white widow in the wild it would slowly revert back to sativa over years, because that the ww or any cross strain that flowers first is the closest of the bunch to sativa so therefore it would pollinate the females first and so and so on.... but I just read it somewhere and you know what they say about everything you read..............
