![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I was getting ready to gather up some pollen for the next round of flowering. I remember we really didn't have any picts of this so I threw some together whilst I was doing it. First, take a mature flowering male plant. Like this one.I have waited until the majority of the flowers are open and spewing pollen. This is obvious from yellow powdery residue on the leaves.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Once you have run out of branches or you feel you have enough pollen then shake the pollen down into the corver you made and remove any additonal flowers that still remain. Once all the male flowers are removed you can unfold the wax paper to be sure to get them all, you can transfer the pollen to a new piece of wax paper if you desire. It kinda sorta looks like a hash blonde hash eh?

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Then wrap it up and tape it up and you have enough pollen for a few million seeds You can now carefully unfold it and use a small paint brush to dip into it and pollinate budz. Or if you are really lazy you just pinch some out and sprinkle it out!! ![]()
