hey UnknownProphet
i just copy/paste this from my NYCD thread... thought it may be usefull over here...
some polen pict's under 20x and 400x scope...
the small brush is the only tool I use for making seeds!
PS loved that indoor Red D.

Cool photo of banana + pollen, someone was talking about 20 year old germinating marijuana seeds.....they actually germinated a palm dade tree (sp?) in Isreal that was around 2,000 years old found in a clay pot underground...took a year to germinate though lol something like that

Great Thread
I caught this just in time as im just havin my first go at savin beans.
The pollenation wasn't controlled i removed him the first day he shot his load, but it was messy with fans, it was flyin everywhere lol. I flushed dried and cured as normal, when i have a smoke there's the odd bean that pops up here and there.
I've been puttin them straight into plastic zips then into a jar...
I'm makin paper wraps now lol.
I tried to germ 2 they cracked, thats it, the tap root never came out.
Now i Know, Thanks to UnKnown and the threads Quality Contributors

Treat her like you are your other plants. Give the seeds at least 6 or 8 weeks to grow out.
Read this whole tread & you will get more differant ideas.
Good luck

I can't seem to find any info on whether or not to flush, how to flush, etc. for seeded females. Anyone know? I grow in hydro normally, but the breeding is in soil, using PBP Veg/Bloom 50%/50%. First seed dropped yesterday, and the bottom leaves are starting to turn, seems like I should start flushing, don't ya think?
All the seeds are formed & flushing is not going to change what is in the seed. Flush as you would if you are going to consume the rest of the plant. Also think about useing products that are Organtic so if they are not flushed then they will have less impact on your finish.
Way back I said I'd post Pic's of cleaning seeds & saving keif here is the link https://www.icmag.com/ic/album.php?albumid=17673
When they are fully mature (they look very close, maybe done) take them off and seperate from any plant material and dry them for at least 10 days or so in a warm dry environment. I like to wait until they no longer feel attached at the base of the seed and jiggle in the calyx, they are 100% fully mature at that point. Dry at 75F+, you want warmth and low humidity. Depending on the strain you may get full viability right off the bat or they may need to cure for awhile more. I made some lowryder beans that still don't want to germinate even after like 60 days because of the Rudy genes. (they go dormant for awhile)
Other stuff like Sweet Tooth is pretty much ready to go right after drying with 90% germ.
I dry my beans for about 10 days and then they go into the fridge at 35F dark & dry with some dessicant in with them. Try germinating a few right after drying if you have enough, if the germ rates are low then a nice cold snap in the fridge for a month should bring the % number way up in my experience. The seed believes it is going through winter and then when it gets warmed back up and comes in contact with moisture it is basically spring time to grow in cannabis land!
The #1 thing you want to do is make sure they fully mature on the plant to start with for best viability in the short & long term.

first cross
first cross
so out of 3 strains pollinated on 4/1 the seeds on this mexican bagseed mom were the first to come ready, big fat beans, nice looking w/ stripes, made 28 by brushing onto two small lower branches. Mom is an unknown mexi strain we call chocco. Dad is purple pheno godbud.
