Pollen viability

[Growerdave]

Basic question. Last fall I collected some pollen from some regular sativas
I was growing. I just put the pollen and a few flowers in a ziplock bag and
stored inside a AC house. How long is the pollen stay viable?? Thanks

The main importance is humidity. If the pollen is completely dry and kept cool (ie, freezer) it is viable for a couple of years.
In your case maybe 10% viable? You'll have to try it out on a branch and see it it takes...

I've got some autos going, might have to put that durban and thai pollen on a couple buds.
Auto make some interesting offspring.
