Pollinating pre flowers and making seeds in veg.

[Deleted member cpr]

A quick Google suggests that I can chuck pollen at pre flowers and make a small number of seeds on a veging plant.

This appeals to me because I don't need many seeds and I should be able to make them without any risk of pollinating my bloom space. I think I'm going to have a go, if I can make some pollen. I'll take a clone tonight, to be reversed soon.

Any thoughts, maybe it's BS and won't work IDK.

Interesting,
let us know how it works out for you Cooper.

 

[Gazza]

Be a great way to produce seeds if it does work.

definitely keen to see how u get on.

 

[Porky]

Yeah im interested to see if it works for ya coops.

 

[Kloud9]

Go coops, pic and all , keen to know if this one works, and what or how stable to genetics in the seeds are

I'll do my best folks and document progress. I took a cut yesterday, still needs to grow roots, be reversed and make some pollen, so at best I'm going to say at least 6 weeks before I can play? Also, I'm a complete novice breeder so....

I gave a plant to a mate that I put in late winter so it was in early flower when he got it
It was already fertilized with a male along with a few others I grew out indoors then reveged
However he put his straight into the ground and it started to reveg almost straight away
He rang about 6 weeks layer and said even though the plant was in it veg stage the flowers that already been pollinated still produced viable seeds
Is this what you are attempting , if so I believe it can be done
I let my fertisled girls grow out and produce seeds

That sounds promising.

I'm not planning on re veging. My girls are always covered in pre flowers. That is what I'm going to work with. Like this

 

[Porky]

Yeah looking at that i dont think it would make a viable seed.

 

[Porky]

Keen as to see if it will but.

If the female "hair" is developed enough it will take pollen. Usually 2 weeks from first appearing. It works fine. You may only get half dozen beans but if that's all you want.

The image pictured, no chance.

Progress on this has been slow, but I've finally grown some balls
I spared every expense to produce them, check out my fancy setup. I switched a clone as soon as it had roots and sprayed it once a day with CS for a couple of weeks. It's pods have just started to burst. No pollen yet.

The light is about 30w of very old aquarium LED. It's giving off about 20K lux at plant level.

Good stuff Coops, that shoud be viable very soon

Fuck sake coops what happened to the original idea i was keen to see if it would work.
This is just plain cheating.

This is the original plan. Get some pollen, then hit some preflowers with it.

Alright. Upon closer inspection there is some pollen in those sacks. It's not dusty though, think that is because the ,RH has been through the roof and the pollen can't dry? Anyway if I give them a rub, yellow stuff comes out. I got a bit excited and rubbed a couple on a cotton bud until it was yellow. I then went about feeling up the lady parts of my girls in veg. Bloody hard to get pics of the calyx, some looked more ripe than others. I reckon I pollinated (tried to) about 500 of them.

 

[Smokeyandtheblunt]

hey Cooper, this will be interesting like the indoor set up in box for the boy. I want to try to pollonise some buds this summer,

 

[puggle6]

you can get an idea if the pollen has taken if the pistil withers and turns yellow/orange prematurely

Cool. I appreciate the advice. I'm pretty clueless about seed making, happy to muck around a bit.
