Only 10 days on 12s.

This morn a bunch were open & empty so I cut some of the heads off, rubbed em on the flowers & rubbed all the pods off into a bowl to dry.

You should have pollen any day now. Are your ladies ready to pollinate?

Your shears are fine.

I could not wait I noticed many pods turning brown, so I thought I'd post my method

1: I put one plant in the plastic trash bag

2: enclosed the plant in trash bag I inverted over a black dish(black to see any pollen action)

3: and beat the plant male kola with a pen (GENTLY lol)

4: many discolored grey and brown pods fell off into the dish ...with much pollen too!

5: with a Russian tea sieve(1-2 inch kitchen sieve) I added some pods

6: with the sieve over the black dish, using the back of a teaspoon I grinded the pods into the sieve

7: so the pollen falls into the dish, when all done about 6 teaspoons

8: I scooped it up, to the corner of the dish, and with a cotton bud?

9: then spent the next hour on my hands and knees applying the pollen to 3 favorite females, it was painful but well blazed

10: the phone rang and accidently sprayed the plants heavy with water, I should have waited 30 mins, better half an hour
(for the business of reproduction to be complete) ...so will have to re apply this whole technique again later ..bummer!

good luck

Mine are getting very big I'm thinking of taking some pollen now to dry out over the next few days, a few are dry even discolored I'm putting down to a fan, being too close?

I'm in no hurry but another 2-3 week would be fine to time in with the females coming up behind

[JDU]

Are they ready to pick? Or would the still green ones be immature & barren? *Sat will be 4wks.

[JDU]

It looks like a few are starting to crack. 😎

[JDU]

Hows she look? Is that a few sacks that are almost ready? By the main site tutorial it should be another wk before I have pollen.

yes I once knew a women who had a copper thing installed in her plumbing down their.. the o'dur (oder)was off putting to say the least, the fact that I could always feel it didn't swell my ego either ....shame!

[JDU]

Heavy metals are crazy! Today I seen a commercial for a no hormone birth control pill- active ingredient is copper. 🤯

Your Sissors will be fine after all you can put a low current thru them if you wish...

I suggest minor electric (dis) plating will occur with static electricity by leaving over night in your kitchen sink...?

good luck

Nothing to worry about then. Iso takes most everything away with it. Stronger the better.

[JDU]

Thanks! I did both lol.

[Jordann]

If you did them in bleach or iso Thayer fine. If you don't trust it though it's up to you but I wouldn't worry atall.

Soakin up the Sunshine! Lookin good I think. & I think I might get enough pollen......... for EVERYONE!!!! Can it be mailed? With an ice pack & insulated maybe??
P.S. Still wondering if those scissors are safe...?
