Hey dre I just take the flowers and shake them over a hard surface somtin you can scrape off and then into baggy for cold storage in the fridge, should last 3-6 months, not really sure how long in will last myself!

say bro,

did a piccy guide on this long ago and was going to again but no time..

here's how i do it

i cut the male plant up before it's ready to spew and stick the branch's in a glass of water at an angle, place wax paper under it for the pollen to drop on and place in a window to finish....

light cycle doesnt matter at this point as the male will spew no matter what

as for storage i just fold it up in the wax paper and toss in the fridge

pretty sure it's only viable for like 2-3 weeks tho

grow on

cb way is good but for a longer storage put in an air tight container and put in a few pieces of rice how much rice depends on how much pollan but after you pick out all of the plant material put the pollan in lets say a film canaster with 5 or 6 pieces of rice and put in fridge will last 6 months but if put in the freezer when you want to pollanate some flowers just get out as much as you need and put the rest right back into the freezer then pollanate the floweres you wanted pollan will keep this way for years if done right i'm going on a 1 1/2 years right now just did a test germ of some seeds a month ago and 9 out of 10 germed in 4 days they were above the soil
