...the other costs (the electricity!). I suppose if I had more space and was interested in breeding (and so risking having a few plants turn out to be not so good), I'd fiddle about with pollination etc, but for my partiicular situation, buying the seeds works well. My last grow was 2 C99 plants, and 2 ICE. Lovely stuff (especially the C99). pj thanks for ...

...from their dad.  I didn't bother asking. It's more like a little experiment.     Yes will be taking a couple clones off the females and getting rid of the males I think ;-)  Debating weather to pollinate the females or not and get a bag full of seeds.  I used to columbian in the late sixties that had about half the weight in seeds.  It was $5.00 for a lunch bag full. $5 for...

..., when spring comes I'll try more. I read somewhere about pollinating to get seeds and I'd like to find out more ... MK The way you do that is to just pollinate just a few flowers directly with previously carefully collected pollen. ... for a year or two, I think.

Do you just save ...flowers and if so by what method? MK The way you do that is to just pollinate just a few flowers directly with previously carefully collected pollen.

Either place the male in an enclosure and allow it to finish in isolation, or best way is to cut most of the branches off the male and then bag a ...
