She is throwing pollen finally. Unfortunately a couple didn't get hit because of the wait but they were replaced. Had a gg4 and a TK x skittles that were ready to go so ? should be banging! My main concern was the strawberry banana cut and that is def taking the pbb pollen. View attachment 74552

GG4 and PBB is a fantastic combo that works great together. That's what makes up Greases Pieces.

Are you letting the sacks open on the plant, or plucking and busting?

Was about to figure out what to say . Bottom line she didn't produce much at all . I am now manually removing the pollen for a potential future project. All good tho I got a couple kits ? def gonna try another fem soon , this cut just didn't want to give up the goods .
I've always had to manually collect on my reversals and the yield is always less than with natural males. I had a Bubblegum cut that reversed good, but put off sterile pollen and completely shit on a whole project I had going. Literally like 5-6 months of being tied up to this one project for nothing. Even if a small amount, I'm glad you were able to get something to work with from it though. There's a few fem strains in my stash from projects that never made it out of my jars due to such low bean counts.

Yeah I can't believe how small the amount it is. Well hey It was a great experience and I wasn't tied up for too too long lol. Thanks again!

@Frimpong ,Yep I learned it's a PITA lmao. Hope you have better luck next time, I was looking forward to some pbb s1's ??.
Like Red said, you pretty much have to remove the pollen from the sacs manually. I put 5-8 sacs in the bottom of a clean grinder with the bottom catch off. Place on dark paper plate, then I scrape them around on the screen with tweezers and the scraper that comes with some grinders.
*You probably know but I didn't lol, it's easier and you get more return if you let the sacs dry a few days first.?‍♂️

Hello, group. I'm Amos [ hi, Amos ], and I'm a frustrated fem ******. Seeing your confessions makes it easier for mine. I got literally grains of pollen from the BP reversal this time [ number 4 ], and about 3 times that from the Creamsizzle. I dutifully and hopelessly dabbed each grain onto the target BP clones. I had 4 reserved but only used 2, a 3rd was hit with Strawberry Cough reg pollen [ lots of that, of course]. The 4th was terminated [insert sad emoji].

Ironically. it looks like some may have taken hold. I've got a CReamsizzle in that same tent that was hit w/ reg Strawberry Starburst pollen, and the 3 BPs pistils look about the same. If seeds result, there surely won't be many, but those rare beans = $$$$, right? :)

The other ironic thing - my first go round making fem dust a couple of years ago was extremely successful. I figured it would always be thus. It has not been so. Having followed Uncle H back then, he'd always note his plants that would not give up enough usable pollen, and others that were heavy producers. I will confess some amount of envy towards those mass fem seed producers at this point. Thanks, frim, for journaling your attempt.

Literally like 5-6 months of being tied up to this one project for nothing.
Three failed attempts at BP caused me to have no products at the sales place, which is why I stuck to reg production for 1/2 a year. Dependable is good for my moods.

I am gonna give a dif fem a go later on and see if that helps . Got a bunch of clusters drying atm and gonna try grinding. But man I got literally nothing coming out of these. Hopefully it's just the cut

Yeah man it happens i have 3 diff females one i given up the dust the others not so well i would try it again i always reverse at least 3 or 4 different strains
sometimes if you spray the plants a few days before 12 12 they may put out better pollen down the road my last project was LSD S1's and mamba punch

i hope you have better luck down the road you will see some are not so giving.... def don't give up you can do it :punkrocker:
