@Organoman This is really good comment thank you, when it comes to learning about plant life and resorting to google, its not always going to lead to growers knowledge. Yes the pollen is in freezer, i had about 5 stems with sacs and each opened at different times, so i would watch and once i see the sacs begin to open i would zip lock between paper towel. since i read a few online articles suggesting to freeze method. I put the male in the cold room once i had enough and over two weeks continued to grow with out water, in coco. But considering one article i think fast buds says auto seeds are not great, i wont pollenate from freezer, once i am available to experiment with seeds i want to cross strains so i will get as many male and female from each strain and let them party. @Ezzjaybruh ya if i am right we commented in a previous question of mine, The plant who produced seeds did have what looked like swollen female parts some where caling calyx, i can only say the buds smelled of strong lemon and final plant at harvest looked pretty much like complete female. only thing the genetics i am not sure about, the female with seeds was barely a foot tall and had only one node plus colas, I am looking to breed autos with extra nodes, at least 2.5-3 feet tall. i am totally new to this planting , i read somewhere home apartment plants can be considered pets, in many ways, for example they can be a type of companion, who requires compassion and returns the favor with a bud to smoke.

Making regular auto flower seeds is as straight forward as making seeds with any type of canabis. However, you may have killed your pollen/male flowers by putting them in the freezer. Next time just pick the male flowers, place them in a ceramic dish (as it will stick to anything else), let dry and the pollen will fall out. Then collect the pollen, let dry for about 10 days, then transfer it to a airtight jar/container and store in a cool, dark place, like a cupboard. This way it will stay viable for 6 months or more and you can make seeds whenever you have plants that are ready. Apply the pollen with a small paintbrush and don't use Qtips/cotton buds, the pollen will stick to them and not transfer to the pistils! If you only have a small amount of pollen, it can be mixed 1:5 with corn/rice flour to extend it and still achieve 100% pollination. The seeds take 4-5 weeks to grow and mature, so pollinate your females early, as soon as there are small tufts of white pistils is ideal. A small branch with 8-12 small tufts will produce 50-100 seeds, so no need to go over board pollinating heaps of flower tufts. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Mmmm you sure it wasn’t an intersex trait/ herm situation? If you liked the variety than sure stick with it if it was for SURE regs seeds not fems with intersex traits that pollinated themselves
