SOIL Sativa male ready to collect pollen?

[Honkfro]

Hi this is Lebanese male I wish to use for a future breeding experiment does it look ready to collect and store pollen from or does it look like it needs a bit longer? ... thanks... Paul ☺

Once sacks start to open a male plant will continue to make sacks and open though the whole flowering time.
Pluck one of those Dingle balls off and squeeze it and see if pollen comes out, if so it's ready.


on a side note Honkfro You should take some really good picture of the plants, especially the one with blue balls in nature light and send them to NebulaHaze for the Web site.
it is not often that someone grows out male plants on here and we get to see them in all their Glory.

[Mr.furley]

P.S. wash your hands before touching anything after you handle the males

Haven't forgotten you managed to get a few photos before I knocked the plant over then cut them all down in a rage lol did you want the macro shots of the males balls in the early stages of growth to?

[Mr.furley]

Sure go a head and post them here.

Take a dish or something flat, put in underneath a top and shake very delicately, if you see a cloud of pollen coming out then it’s ready. You should be able to catch enough pollen in one try. You could repeat this every few days to make sure you get a lot of pollen, males will flowers for at least 8 to 10 weeks before they stop producing new sacks
