TheExplorer Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hi guys, I have a lot of trichos about to flower this year and I want to make some specific crosses... What are some good methods for preventing cross-pollination that you have used before? I've heard stockings might be good? Oh and if anyone has some interesting pollen to trade let me know!

zelly Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I reveal a lot in my videos, unfortunately you have to watch them all several times to glean all of the pertinent tips. The very best tips are in a video shot during a night time pollination session which may be upped to utube in the near future.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zed240 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I like the bags that are intended to be used to protect fruit from birds. You can buy them from hardware stores in a couple of sizes and they fit over very easily and give plenty of room for the flower to open. I also like that they're big enough to put back over the opened flower after you've finished pollinating. They're about $4-$5 for a pack of 3. I think you can get them a lot cheaper online. https://www.bunnings.com.au/diamond-econetting-25-x-43cm-white-netting-sleeve-3-pack_p3041121 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheExplorer Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 I'll keep them in mind for next year mate, thanks. I got a bit lucky this year as the flowering times ended up being quite staggered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
