I wish you had a better camera too. And a bigger light.

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.
The dawn of angiosperms, mother natures most evolved plant.
