Don’t really collect pollen as I don’t have the room to grow males but tbh unless a person is choosing a male from around 20/30 seeds then it’s not really the art of selection to keep that male they find from just 3/4 reg seeds and use him for breeding
See so many people these days grow 4/5 grows and be one master breeders overnight by hitting all there elites with the first male they find
For that reason I only buy from a couple of sources for my seeds

I hear you lol. The main goal of this experiment is to get some seeds of a rare, expensive strain I have comming from a breeder in Hawaii. There will be a month or so between harvesting pollen and having the feemales ready to pollenate.

The secondary goal is to dust a clone only strain I have and maybe some powerplant clones. I'm not going to be selling seeds as "super chocolate, lemon meringue, half baked cookie dough" :) I'm not growing for profit, I'm growing for fun and wanted to try and create some seeds. I understand the theory sort of but want to tick it off my bucket list.

Thanks for your input bud, appreciated as always!

Sounds like a good idea grumpy - I presume you got through to that company you spoke about then?
The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.

Yea, I got hold of a guy that knows a guy and they put me in contact with Big Island Genetics. I'm not sure where the Hawaiian Seed Company is hiding but I think they're all associated. You look at the strains and they're all the same background. If you do a little digging, it looks like they're all part of the same little crew that are working on these Hawaiian landrace strains. They're £125 for a pack of 10 regulars though. And the guy has had his merchant account shut down so I had to buy them via paypal and trust they will turn up. The ones I got he's not even put them up on his site yet. He's a nice guy and grt's lots of love on social media off happy customers so I think I'll be OK. If I can manage to produce 50 seeds I'll be happy.
