    This is a clone from a male blue cookies plant. If life hands you a lemon, make lemonade. If life hands you a male, make pollen.
     
    I used a sheet of wax paper to catch the pollen.

  2. Round 2. This is the brother of the other clone (I generally take 2 clones of every seed plant before moving to 12/12). I pruned this one down to just one lower branch and kept it in veg until I had this batch ready to pollinate some buds.
     
    I use a small paint brush (artists brush) to apply the pollen to some lower buds that I mark with twist ties so I don't forget which buds have seeds in them. I get 15-20 viable seeds from a small lower bud.
     
    I pollinated 4 buds with the last batch of pollen and I got quite a few seeds, but I didn't get all of the strains/genotypes that I have going right now so I'll get the rest with this batch(before I eliminate them in the elimination process) plus a few more from some I already got seeds from.

  3. These are the seeds I got, most from the second batch.
