Yup, I forgot to also mention pulling all the plants and lights (and everything) out and giving the tent a good washing too before starting any other breeding projects in the same space.I wouldn’t dare put a plant you just want to flower in there. I think you will never be able to get all the pollin out of the tent. It’s in everything in the tent. Is there a reason you are making straight run seeds?
Im officially a scientist so I don't mind experimenting, it’s what I do. But if info is out there, I'll like to know as my research is a bit empty here. And I don't like wasted time.
I would be worried about it coming out of the fans.I had said: "Yes, I fully plan to clean and bleach tent before i go back into flowering mode. But have no problem purchasing a new tent but can only have one up."
So, maybe i wasn't clear, but I already though about polin contamination, why I mention just purchasing a new tent. But I want to point out 1) bleach is great greenhouse cleaner and will kill polin. Water will kill polin. 2) polin has limited life. So I was thinking sanitation, thoughal sanitized
Was now thinking it's experiment time. That is sanitise tent, vice a new one, and report back results. This will still be invalid as intent on next runs is still seeds. Yea I was going to bag and hand polinate a few branches but polin contamination can still occure ... so it's invalid *unless* there are no seeds in remainder of plant i.e. no polin contamination AND successful sanitation.
"If the female pollen recipient (Durban) is already carrying seed, then all you can do is spray it down with water to kill any rogue pollen left in the plant and start flowering the other 4 pollen recipients for the next project along side it."
Think I'll have to try that. I normally SCROG with 4 but I have 5 plants ready plus the polonated durban. So scrap the SCROG, I'll try that!
And I think you answered the full photoperiod is necessary for seeds ... thanks!
"I wouldn’t dare put a plant you just want to flower in there. I think you will never be able to get all the pollin out of the tent. It’s in everything in the tent."
Well, worst case is the tent isn't used for straight flower for a period of time but need not be never. I can however see if it's a tent can be adequately sanitised.
"Is there a reason you are making straight run seeds?"
Yes, I don't smoke it and therefor seed is the goal. I don't think the current set of breeders are recording dominate and recessive trates adequately... only exception is recessive autoflower. I may not be able to generate adequate statical sample size either but I have ideas.
So, what traits are you breeding for?Yes, I don't smoke it and therefor seed is the goal.
