Is pollen from male viable/usable for pollination as soon as pollen sacks are visible?
Ezzjaybruhstarted grow question 3 years ago
Can I harvest pollen as soon as pollen sacks are visible? or does it need time to mature while on plant? plan to dry out and save some branches from males for possible breeding later down the road. Don't wanna wait too long and risk accidental pollination of outdoor fems thanks!

No Mate you need to wait for them to begin swelling and opening up.
Once they are at that stage you can either pollinate directly from the plant or collect some in something
like a film canister for later. It's fairly important to keep moisture away from collected pollen as it will kill it's viability
For long term storage I reccomend the freezer

Should I harvest in 2-3 weeks ?Hey, do you think my plants might be ready in two weeks ? They're autos in 7th week of their life. I know that 9 weeks is ok for most, but these should take approx. 11 weeks. Do you think one more week of feeding, then flush would be appropriate ? Trichomes are mostly milky white
