Sorry I never came back in to post up my chuckin tech. I'm sure ya got plenty of advice. Things are lookin real good in here. Lots of males, that always sux. Nice an healthy though, good job.
Please feel free to post your tek here, if you're still willing. I can use all the suggestions I can get, since I'm new to pollen chucking, and just trying to fake it til I make it.
Ya gotta isolate ya male in a big clear plastic tote sealed. Get 2 computer fans and a hepa filter. Cut the filter into 2 4x4 squares. Get 1 or 2 computer fans that will fit over the 4x4 hepa filters ya cut out. Take that tote(stand it long wise) and make two 3 1/2 squares, one on top left and one on the top right(in an out). Take each filter and foil tape it over each hole an place each fan on top. One pushing an the other pulling. Now ya got your isolation chamber.
Put the dude on 12/12 to get your pollen. As soon as he starts to open his pollen sacs you can open up the chamber lid very slowly with all fans off before you start this step. Get a cup and a paint brush an place the cup below the said sac cluster and tap the stem with the brush handle to collect into the cup. Close back up the chamber an go into the bathroom where you will set down the cup an brush. Wash hands off to get rid of any pollen you don't want to spread. Main thing is control of pollination. Turn off all fans an blowers in the flower room. Take cup an brush and some zip ties or yarn or string to mark branches you pollenated. Take the brush an brush it into the cup. Take brush and brush marked lower branch nug hairs(cause who likes popcorn nugs anyway). Go from plant to plant taking your time to not stir up a draft. Go easy on the brushing cause it don't take much pollen. I dust at about week 3-4 depending on the strains flower time.
Hush! I hope you're doing alright. I am going to be testing for a newer seed company and will be copying your style pretty much, but with Hempy's instead of soil. I ended up getting an Onyx Bloom, and I also have a Diy Cob that's pushing 55w and a 95w China led with. afull spectrum to hit those reds. My girls are loving them
