I am thinking about making some seeds just for kicks and was wondering if I start the male and the ladies flowering at the same time or should I start the ladies 1st. Dolato male, iced out and dolato from inhouse and cream and orangegasm, irie genetics and a gmo cross from cabin fever . Any suggestions appreciated, growers love.
Nice, enjoy your fruits. I typically start the ladies 10-14 days before the males. For me, the ladies seem to take 3 weeks until they have a decent amount of pistils to hit. The males tend to start opening sacks in 7-10 days for me. So, a little staggered approach to putting them into flower has been my method.
I appreciate the response, I listen to Rasta Jeff as well and you are basically confirming what he said, thanks again, the crew always comes through.
Cheers
Yup. Flip the females to flower about 1-2 weeks before the males if you are trying to time the pollen drop.
You can also flower the male in a separate space and collect the pollen for use later.
Collect the pollen and allow it to air dry for a few days. Heat and water are the enemies of pollen so keep it cool and dry. Then you can seal it up in a jar with a desiccant pack and store it in a cool dry place. When it’s kept dry and stored well, pollen can be saved for months or even potentially years if you freeze it.
