    I am sick of mail ordering seeds. Too costly, dangerous, etc..I always grow sinsemilla. Can I pollinate a female away from the others and THEN return her to her sisters to finish, without pollinating the rest of the herd.

    Aye, provided there isn't any stray pollen.

    Yes this is very possible. They way I have found work best is to take the plant to another room with the male. give the male a gentle shake near the female. Allow to sit isolated from the others for atleast 24 then give a good spraying with water to destroy any stray pollen. Then return the female back with the others. This is just how I do it and it works great for me!!

    I wouldnt try to pollinate the whole female, Just try pollinating a branch or 2. you should still get plenty of seeds out of a few buds, I think it would be over kill to waste a whole plant.

    ..to add a spin on this; I have been seeding clones.. less plant material..less problems.

    Crackin me up here Bud, but then I look in and see those fat lil seeds on my girls and can't help but get a lil pissy. :pissed:


    Syko.....very interesting. Never thought of that one. So you keep them in a seperate room under flos to seed?

    I use a walk in closet in my 2nd bed room that I grow in, I have tried several way's at seeding and clones rock! I usally start them flowering indoor's then place the male along with what ever females outdoors in the bush in containers for a week or so then bring them back inside to finish flowering under a 1000 watter along with what ever is flowering. Bug's and **** is delt with befor bringing them back in. Usally repotted to finish flowering. When I have not moms or clones/seedlings veging I'll seed indoors in the closet under fluros or in a large 30 galon rubermaid type container.


    It's probly just as much trouble as seeding with a brush or paper bag..but I enjoy using clones couse it help's me use up left over cutting's and improves my cloning skills..

    Not always hermies Indi, but the chances of them going hermie are greater. Not always female either Bud...as I have found out myself lately.
