Thats a very efficient way of doing it thanks alot bro 

I was thinking something similar but have been struggling to find a good "male jail" , been contemplating building a small micro box for breeding but if its a small box and i flower out like 6 cuts of boys in there i think it may get abit messy too 

Lol i think finding a new environment for them would be A , thanks again for the input man 

Hey guys

So I have been thinking about my technique of harvesting pollen, and though it is quite efficient, it takes quite a lot of time (which i dont really have lately)

I have been cutting flowering stems off as they ripen and letting them dry for a day or so in a brown bag before giving it a litle shake and screening, mixing with flour for the moisture, sealed container into the fridge or freezer.

I was just wondering if anyone here may have any simpler ways of approaching the task, something that doesnt require endless hours inspecting and snipping little branches while trying not to get pollen to fly all over the place 

Welcome chef ! Enjoy your time on the forum 

A whole lot of good info around here to scrounge through to learn all you need 

Thanks - I was thinking of doing something like that 

Stabilize the traits i like and create something entirely new

I am by no means an expert but I have experience with hydroponics growing other plants(vegetables)
My cannabis I grow organic in soil.
No light can beat natural sunshine.

Organics- slower growth rate and more forgiving grow. Better terpines and flavour development. Less stressful grow, you don't have to watch every little thing.

Hydro- faster growth rate, small margin for error. Apparently less flavoursome smoke. Very involved/stressful, checking ph, nutes, lights, temps, ventilation, RH.

Just my 2c

I agree too that there is no better light than the sun

Agreed. I grow both and prefer smoking organic grown bud above salt grown. It might take longer but the taste!!

Its all about patience hey i just love great tasting weed !! Even organic veggies and herbs etc seem to have a whole lot more flavour than store brought mass produced more than likely chemically grown product

I know this isn't the ideal spot for saying this... But I plan to incorporate both growing methods... Hydro veg for speedy growth... And soil bloom for the flavors and terp profile... Albany superior setup, 

Cause it's best of both

This seems really interesting bro - keep us updated on how that works out

this was a friends plant it foxtailed because he thought he coul make it flower faster by putting it into dark for 12 hours but gave up a week in

That should do it ... 

Nice read - lets not forget our carbon

I cant say this for sure - but it seems to me , and a few others i have spoken to and read about , that having a living organic system usually provides you with a stronger / fuller terp / flav profile , while hydro / salts give you a faster growing plant ? 

Has anyone else experienced something like this ? I have only ever grown organic so cant say how my hydro plants turned out , but i have smoked some pretty bland salt grows in comparison 

Another relatively new member here - have had some delays on getting my setup back on track , but i too was very interested in making regular entries once things are running again 

Will wait it out and hope the comp is revived at some point 

I must say i love all of FOGFAs initiatives and what they stand for - i believe that clubs (with very good security) will be the way to go in this legal limbo period provided we can settle some sort of paperwork or recorded agreement that authorities understand the operations of the establishment and agree to leave us alone , and even beyond legal regulation, as has been mentioned, the clubs would just gain in popularity and end up as similar to a "bar" for the cannabis community 

I also think that having alot of small , closely grouped private clubs could benefit in raising the awareness and breaking the stereotype we are all trying so hard to by showing whoever needs proof that we can peacefully assemble without any harm or damage to people and property as well as the fact that information can be provided in return from clubs to writers of legislature as guidelines as to what does and doesnt work a wise man once said all it takes is one brave soul

Okay i will type out my whole plan from start to end a little later today and then see where i am wrong and what needs to change. 

 

Sorry just nervous to look silly here.

Thanks this already helps alot.

 

Will put my whole plan up then maybe it will be easier to help me.

Thanks alot for everything so far

And dont worry about looking silly we all start somewhere 

@greenkush Agreed 

Sorry had a huge blunt for wake and bake for the fiances bday today and probably didnt word that correctly  

I gave my soil recommendation based on the idea of the grow being coco - but not sure if thats the final plan here

Well again ive never really attempted any sort of hydro 

But yes starting in smaller pots - with soil atleast - helps me control the amount of water the seedling has around it versus over watering a huge pot with a tiny plant that cant use all that water 

I usually start my seedlings after a soak in polystyrene or plastic party cups , they get their first and final transplant to 20 or 25l after about a week or 2 

Hope this helps abit 

Agreed ... you can have a 9 sq plant or 9 1 sq plants ? Minus some working space

I second GLO - looks like mite damage 

Really setting the bar here hey 

Cant wait to grow this out looks amazing !!!

Im more or less with CreX on this one 

Fiance and i have a wake and bake with our coffee 

Then around tea time , lunch time , 4:20 and then another 2 or 3 in the evenings so 4-8g a day depending on the size of the joints  probably over 10 on the weekends

... well ... thats interesting ...

Well im an outdoor organics grower 

Only had abit of experience with a small indoor grow of just 2 runs and i was running CFL in half a cupboard  

Lighting depends on the amount of floor space you want to cover , as well as budget not only for the light but for the electricity to power said light 

LED lights are very popular these days and give you more light output per watt used generally 

Hey there and welcome 

Its an awesome journey and theres alot of info on the forum and people willing to help 

What are your plans for your grow ? 

Soil / hydro 

Indoor / outdoor ? 

Enjoy it

Wow very awesome bro 

Is there a chance this may be going commercial soon ? 

Hey bro

My best idea would be to leave it in a dish or jar or something open and put that into a warm water bath and see how far you can purge it that way might take a while though 

Sorry to see this bro

Agree 100% with @CG420za  

Flush through with a decent base nutrient and see how she does
