I grow from seed, starting 4or 5 strains and then culling the males. Usually, Ill have a couple of strains in buckets at home, 2 females that I look for a male to polinate for seeds.
I encounter 2 big problems maybe someone can give me some suggestions on.
First it never fails that if I leave one male, I end up with nearby plants seeded, and thats even if I continue to trim any maturing limbs off of the male plants in an effort to delay flower maturation on the plant. The male has to mature enough to release pollen so how can I collect that pollen without it reaching the other plants within a few hundred feet of it?
If I am succesful at collecting the pollen, Im usually unsuccesful at storing it.
I would like to find good males some other way but i feel you have no choice but to let one mature somewhat to know if its worth breeding.
How do you folks get pollen out of the field and back to you breeding girls? Ive read all the methods for storing pollen but it aint workin for me.
