To Produce Small Amount of Seed

Hi cantharis, I just wanted to thank you for your help on this thread. I just noticed seed pods forming on all 3 plants that I pollinated. I know its still early in the game to get too excited, but your method definitely works. To those that may read this thread, the info is golden. Side note: The strains that I crossed with an Indica male were Train Wreck, Perma Frost and a strain that I was told is called "Mr. Nice". I am really just doing this as an extension of my hobby to see if I can create a "new" hybrid for my enjoyment. If the seeds are viable, there is still a lot of work to do before I'll know if I've done good. I'll post results as they happen.

Anyway, thanks again, and good luck on your 2009 project......I'm keeping up with your journal

Glad it has worked for you.

Hello cantharis, just dropped by to give a note of thanks for your tutorial, and your help. I was successful in crossing my three different strains and now have close to 300 seeds from my project. To those that may read this thread, the easy to follow instructions set forth by the OP are spot on. Thanks again.

Looks like a great and simple method of cross pollination to experiment with, but more importantly, we dedicate a huge amount of time, and our own money to a crop. Maybe i'm paranoid but i've always felt a mother is susceptible and having seeds that can last for years if stored properly to preserve your hard work seems like a much better idea even if it might not be precisely what you had.

Thanks a lot for the info, i love the added security while keeping most of the buds clean, cant wait to try.

Chunkdaddyo, thank you for the kind words. +rep to you, Sir.

Or you could just clip it and stick it in some rock wool clone-style.

quick question...

how mature do the males need to be? i know the sacks have pollen pretty early on, but how mature do they need to be for a good stable supply of pollen for the best chance of keeping the genetics intact?

brilliant cantharis, i will definitely try to set some seeds of my own this season!

you could always pop one open and look

hey cantharis (and others),

if i were to set seeds to autoflowering strains, it is to the best of my knowledge that even if both plants are autoflowering i may not in fact be graced with autoflowering seeds correct?

Nope Autos will produce autos or at least did for Dangreen on the forums here.....he made 200 auto AK-47 seeds and so far i think has grown about 2 dozen and all have been autos and every bit as nice as the originals if not better......good luck man

I have never grown autoflowering strains, so can´t really answer that, sorry.

i cant wait to set seed

Is it easy to cross breed like this?

sticky!!!
great post, im going to cross my bagseeds with one of my big buds', depending on how well the bag seeds turn out, and if i have a male!
