New Grower 1st Grow in 30 years - 1x Short Stuff Onyx Auto / 1x Delicious Northern Lights Blue (Fem)

Short Stuff Onyx Auto (Male) Day #25
Managed to get most the pollen off the bottom leaves and into a glass tube. He hasn't dropped anymore yet.
Decided to trim those lower leaves off. Placed a pollen catcher around base of plant. It is a 25 day old auto and only opened two sacks so far. How long can I expect him to keep producing pollen?

To do real collection, I want to cut, lean him out of a water glass over a piece of glass, and tap to collect, but don't want to cut too early. Any suggestions?

Day #29
Been collecting for four days now. Surprising how much self-control its has! Just letting out enough each day to keep from the chopping block! At this rate, its probably got another three to five days.

Been collecting for ten days now. Thought it would be over yesterday but figure he'll go a couple more days. Can't wait for my photo grows to be ready for this! Gonna try Onyx Auto X Northern Lights Blue and Onyx Auto X THC Bomb.

Day #38 - End of Log

Although there were still quit a few unopened pollen sacs, I decided to cut him down today. He reached almost 16 inches in the 38 days. As shown in these pictures, he was still dropping a lot of gold dust.

I used one of my 1.5ml vials to store the pollen. A total of .5 ml was collected. Three grains of rice were put in the pollen to absorb any moisture. The vial was first sealed in saran wrap, then wrapped in aluminum foil. This was then placed into a zip lock freezer bag that was labeled with date and source of pollen. The zip lock was rolled up and sealed in saran wrap and placed in my refrigerators freezer.

Hopefully all my efforts will prove worthwhile in the next couple of months when I attempt to cross Onyx (Auto) with Northern Lights Blue and THC Bomb! :thumbs:
