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.

How long until harvest?Hi. I changed the light cycle at 01.12.2023. So it comes to nearly 60 days of flowering now. How long should I wait until harvest? They look pretty good for me but maybe could grow more yield. The strains are (from left above) Pineapple Chunk, Gelato, Mazar Extra and Sensi Skunk.

How close to harvest?This is my fourth grow and every time I'm doubting myself when I should chop her down.Can I get your opinions? All microscopic pics are on the buds and not the sugar leaves. To me it looks like I'm close, about a week? If I'm off a lot in my time can you explain why? Many thanks!

BioThrive Fertilizer Water pH & PPMI tested my BioThrive Bloom+CaMg fert water for the first time ever today; I've been feeding 4.5 pH & 340 ppm fert water solution; Soil pH is 6.7-ish per the Rapitest meter. Should I add pH up solution to make the fert water 6.2pH? What if the soil pH increases over 6.7?

When to lower light intensity?When is the right time to lower light intensity? I'm on 5th week of flowering, should I keep my lights on max or reduce the power/increase the distance to plants? I have around 1000W of Led's at 35-60cm distance from the tops. I see no burning/bleaching or anything like that.

Soil pH not adjusting even after watering pH water.So Far I've been 6.5-7 pH water, & organic ferts BioThrive Grow, Bloom & CalMag. The soil pH doesn't seen to go any below 6.5; even though I've been feeding 5 pH water to make it lower. Why is this happening? What to do? Does organics in the soil auto-adjust the pH all by itself
