The cookie family releasing pollen

  1. was just reading the new March issue of high times,and they had an interview with the cookie family, the people behind the REAL girl scout cookies, and they talked about what they called pollen nation, basically instead of selling seeds, they are releasing pollen.
    I for one am hella stoked about it, I've wondered why allot more breeders didn't do this? Anyone else think this is awesome? I for one am gonna try and get my hands on it if they go through with it. Cross it with my pure sativan diesel

  2. The reason why more breeders don't do this, is because it's probably a lot more of a hassle than seeds? Like how are you supposed to sell pollen? By the mg? gm? are they going to sell you 1000ct of spores? It's a hassle! I'd rather get the clones. You can get your pollen with colloidal silver spray.
     
  3. With just a tiny pinch of pollen you can make hundreds of seeds, all of your own creation... You don't have to worry about growing out a male, or using CS. Sounds convenient to me, but I am into breeding

  4. I dont want pollen. I like to select the male thats smaller bushy and most important early blooming.

    I wouldn't trust High Times.
     
    Pollen isn't generally an option as it's perishable, and very sensitive to moisture and temps.  It's viable for a very short time unless refrigerated, and even then it's not as hardy to store as seeds.
     
    Snoop makes a great point, you want to see the plant your breeding with.  Getting pollen gives you no indication of the quality of what your dealing with.
     
    My guess High Times is just trying to sell more issues, as it's been re-hashing the same grow articles for years.
