How long can I store male pollen in freezer ?
FR_PhenoFinderstarted grow question 4 years ago
Hi I think one of my new breed, GDA #04 is a male, it is fast growing and smelling so much better, my question is I have read that you can store male pollen for several years if you combine it with flour ? What are you thoughts about it? Also do u think it is a male?

Hello
I've heard from some people that the pollen can stay good for many years.. but I know it can at least stay usable for about a year when stored properly. Just get yourself a freezer safe container or some of the zip locks for the freezer.
I've personally just stored pollen in very basic containers and it still was able to pollinate my next years plants.
*ive heard mixing with a small amount of flour to help keep things dry and useable.
Happy growing. ✌️

“I think she is a male !”
How modern!
I recently learned to collect male flowers whole on the stem, and seal in a paper envelope. Store in a cool dark place for several weeks before refrigeration. Pollen will become soggy and useless if refrigerated while moist.

You'll have to pull back the little pointy cover leaf to see its bits. Can't tell if it's a male or not, but the absence of any pistils yet would give me some pause.
As for storing pollen, you can freeze for a year minimum. You may get two out of it if the conditions are right.

The seedlings are getting so top heavy growing fast. The stem can no longer support all the weight of 2 of the seedlings, and I have had a fan on them 24/7. Is this normal? It’s not stretching FYI. I try not to give them a crutch to lean on so they grow stronger. Any Ideas?Week 1

The main stem of one of the Gorilla's had to be bent down. I have noticed that the buds seem abit small for the age and that her main stem is really bendy. Is it abit early to tell if they will get bigger with time or is it because of the stress?Week 1
