How long?

How long from balls forming do i have to wait for my pollen cant find it out anywere other than yay long. How long does it normally take you after 12/12.

cheers

It's usually anything from 14-21 days after spotting the balls 'til they release pollen mate. That said it can be strain dependent too, I had a Lemon Stinky release pollen about a week after spotting his balls.

What Grub said, you might pick the first ones off so when your ready to breed it it will drop more pollen at one time! I for the most part keep the males and girls together for a week then chop the male, gets the job done and all the seeds ripen close to each other.

My BR males dropped pollen just after a week of 12/12. I tried to collect some pollen but Im not sure what I got lol I was so scared of getting pollen everywhere I'm not sure I got any viable stuff to use... We will see in a couple of weeks.

If it drops on it's own it's good but how you store it could kill it too. I can tell you from the BR male it can get everywhere even on you to spread to girls you have in different building luckily for me nothing I'm worried about got pollen on them, and the ones that did I just picked off the few beans!

Im not storing it well mate so maybe it will all go to shit which would be a shame.

Exactly what I was wondering, so how long after pollination does it take for seeds to.ripen?
Iv got an afghani#1 male by the looks of things so its game on for breeding :)

Just pollenated a branch on an amnesia with some pollen from Hilly's WW x Vortex. Pistils started browning a few hrs later.
Will keep you updated.:)
