Life Lesson #243.......pollen.

[buttcrust420]

In March of 2010 I stopped growing but recently I started again. My last grow was breeding a beautiful Jack Herer female with a handsome White Rhino male. Breeding was a success but I forgot to clean up the flowering chamber after my last grown. That was mistake #1. Can you see where this is going?

So recently I started growing 12/12 from seed. I have 3 random bagseeds from a friend and they are doing great. [I have a grow thread going] So not cleaning up after my last grow I now have seed on 2 of the 3. It's my fault I know. Should have remembered to clean up last year. But I do have seeds from a White Rhino and bagseed. So maybe I'll name these seeds, White Baggies.

To all the new growers let this be a lesson, clean up after each grow.

Your room must be cold & dry for the pollen to have lasted that long, I usually just spray everything down with hydrogen peroxide & water after any pollen introduction so if possible just get everything wet next time it will instantly deactivate the pollen.

Don't look at this as a negative though because seeds are your friend! The smoke will actually be a bit stronger too most likely even if you have less of it. Most important, more seeds!

That means more plants and your own cross that could potentially be epic!

Good advice butt, but I gotta ask, why you growing bagseed and not the JHxWR?

pollen should not have lasted that long. it is only viable for a few days give or take.

Oh I don't know, just popped a few bagseeds in just to start out with. I have so many seeds. Plus just ordered some Bubba Kush. JhxWr will come soon.

Pollen can last a long time but it would have to be a very cool dry room, it could certainly last a year in the right dark dry cold room.

That sounds like a nice place for pollen to stay alive for awhile!
