    SOIL growing for seeds

    I pollinated my first female this year, and she's getting close. I got rid of the male as soon as I was finished collecting pollen. So is it still risky for me to work with the pollinated female and then go to my growroom?

    How long has it been since the pollen was released and how was it done? Also read up on making feminized seed, its not hard.
    Inside I use a zip lock bag to hold the pollen, stick the bud I want seeded into it, seal as good as one can and shake the hell out of it, ok just gently shake it. The object is to only seed that bud, you do still get a few strays, but hey we wanted seeds right?
    IF there is still live pollen on the plant, it can be spread to another. Pollen can travel by wind 2000 miles.

      Been about 6 weeks since I removed the male plant. I used a small paint brush to get the pollen onto the female. I tried a zip lock over the male to collect pollen, not the best method for sure. Honestly pollen from the male was busting out everywhere! I see tons of seed pods on the female, just hoping for feminized seeds. Thanks for answering!

    Yes i'd be very cautious handling other plants wear gloves take them off or wash up and don't brush up against other fems.

      IF the pollen is from a male the seeds will not be feminized, they will be regular meaning 50% male female ratio.
