Seeding and pollen questions

Ok I know who the guys are in my garden. I want to put them outside to reach maturity and harvest <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Poland</st1lace></st1:country-region>. Here’s my questions.

• How long will it take for pollen to form on the mails? I want to terminate them as soon as possible as they will be outside and out of my control.
• I plan to put a pollen bud into a Ziploc bag for storage then I will brush a bit of it on a bud to seed. I will obviously not do it in the flowering room. Im thinking that I will then rinse the treated bud site with water to remove as much of the extra pollen as possible. I will then tie the treated bud down and away from the other bud sited to prevent spreading. Will this work and keep from pollinating the whole crop if done with care?
• How long can I keep pollen in a zip lock bag?

yes will work just fine, use a small artist paintbrush to brush some pollen on lower useless budlets to get seeds there.

As for the males, just keep checking the pods as soon as you see them start to crack open i simply just chop the tree down turn it upside down into a large Heafty garbage bag and tie the end and let it dry out, i then simply shake the tree and all the pollen comes off and falls to the bottom of the bag where i then take that and keep it in a sealed container.

Cool. Good idea. Will do thanks.

Glad to see GC is back up. One more question. How long do you think it will take for the pollen to be available? The guys are outside in a well concealed but unsecured location and im a little nervous not being in complete control of access.

I painted the pots black and placed them in waist high grass in a crona case(24pk) box so keep the grass clear around the plants. i also pissed all over the box and plants. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

like i said, just watch some of the pods, when you see them split open a bit just cut the tree down and tote it away in a bag and let it dry out a bit, shake it and keep the pollen thats in the sack.
