 Trichomes! lol

Well I'm really happy about these ladies. The buds didn't start forming until about 5 days ago, so all of these trichs have appeared since then.
Impressive Magash, I have to say... I've never seen that much development this early.
 
Sorry for the HPS pictures, but you get the idea

What did you do differently/What did Magash suggest you do? Or is it just the strain?

Well firstly, I planned WELL ahead on this run, which made everything run smoothly. Second, they are from the man himself, so obviously it has to do with genetics. I've grown a few good strains in my day but this cross thus far has blown them all away, all 4 different phenos are looking equal in coverage though, so I'm gonna be a happy camper.
Alright Harry you win, where do you live again?  I want Maneater you little devil you.

I'm gonna have to agree. Only send me the plants instead. Harry also has no idea what he is doing.

I'm going to be using pollen, should I use it now, so that the seeds are ensured to fully mature???

yep, I'd use it right about meow. please tell me you're not pollinating the whole plant right? just a bud or two?
Also, who are you making her sex with?

Oh no I'm not doing that. I'm going to turn off all ventilation for the day and Select Sex with only a couple branches of 2-3 of my chosen females.
I'm looking to get about 25-30 seeds, so it won't take much. I'm going to be paranoid about this though because it would be so easy to spread... NO BREATHING!!!
Thanks! Maybe I can ski/board with you soon and share the genetics with you... You can never have too many good strains.

Does it only have to come in contact with the pistil to fertilize?

that's for damn sure! We've gotta ride together sometime, the resorts around here just got 18-24 inches from this last storm. I'm so freakin' pissed I've gotta do so much hw or I'd be there right now. Plus, Genetics are my fetish, I can't enough!
Who are you crossing her with?

Maybe if you rub it on your girls vag. she will produce seeds.

Oh yeah duuuuuuuuuh!
Sorry I picked the best male of the bunch, same cross, but this male seemed to look like a near pure Bubba pheno, and was the most vigorous grower, so I thought I would just make f2's...

I think he means he's just going to impregnate a branch or two instead of the entire plant...

Inverted: Yes, the pollen only needs to come into contact with the hair (pistil). The genetic information travels down the pistil to the seedpod and the embryonic seed which starts the seed formation.
I also suggest that you do it now.

it's pretty crazy how that tiny little pollen can grow into a tube cell the length of the entire pistil just to deposit that little haploid huh?
biology is fascinating

That is pretty intense.
Look at this picture
You can even see the little hair or cilia looking things run all the way up the pistils. I wish I had a better camera.

Grrr, I should probably just buy Lucid's extra 400 from him. It's just sitting in his basement not getting any use. But I'm more of an OD guy, this is just to hold me over on smoke until the big crop comes in the fall.

Yeah you should. I'm hoping for some good outdoor this year. Last year was such a  . Waaaay too much rain and I got completely overgrown in the swamps, which is what I was hedging on. The fields did pretty well but nothing like they should have been.
This year I'm going with the 5gal. buckets. Wish me luck. I found a place with spring water from a small artesian well. The water is so cold and clean.

That sounds great. I've had success in the swamp before, but have since moved to the farm fields. August becomes a bitch, watering every 4-5 days... I'm not looking forward to that, lugging water in 100 degree weather.

That's why I'm going close to a water source. It's like the best spot I've ever found.

I use a Q-tip and dab. Seems simple enough to me, I haven't tried a paintbrush, but this seems more logical to me...
How long does pollen stay viable for in room temp and open air?

Pollen can be stored in the freezer for as long as 18 months according to Greg Green and also cites it is best used within 6 months of collection. I dont know about the open air though. how is it stored and when was it collected?

I'm sure most of you have seen this before but for the newbies.
You notice the pollen tube actually working it's way down the the female reproductive organ to the egg.
