Terple,
Hi,

I am currently reversing a haze XXL and the pollen sacs are just about opening. I was wondering what is the best way to harvest pollen and how do I store it with flour successfully.? Like what ratio of flour to pollen? Below are some pictures where you can see some of the sacks are opening. Anyways any input would be helpful and happy growing y'all!

Not sure on the flour but I will say that I pull the balls off right when the bottom splits then I put them on a piece of paper so they can open now I will also use a pin and paper clips to poke around@ the sack (ouch) then remove plant material scrape up and store in freezer.
 
Isolated male, once I see the first sacks start to open I cut the top, and place in a vase. A hole in a piece of parchment paper (stem goes thru) propped up level, and under a large clear dome. Sits on the kitchen table. Once pollen has dropped, collect and mix with your dry flower maybe 50-50. A little pollen goes a long way. Clean up, mist bottle with water. If you have flowering girls around, you might see if a buddy would help with this stage. Hard not to get some where you don't want some...
