To start the pollination process, you have to determine first the male and female Cannabis plants that you will pollinate. After, you collect the pollen from the male plants. Then, you have to keep the pollen safe in storage where there is no moisture at all.
After those steps, you can now pollinate your female Cannabis between 2 and 12 weeks after the start of its flowering stage. However, you have to keep your attention on its pistils, particularly on these two circumstances:
- Pistil appears to be white or off-white. When the pistil turns white or off-white, it is the perfect moment to pollinate.
- Pistil appears to be withered and brownish. When the pistil turns rust or seems to be withered, the point of pollination has passed.
The question now is how to pollinate female Cannabis when its pistil appears to be white or off-white? To do this, follow the following steps:
- Your female branch must be covered with a bag full of male pollens.
- Make sure that pollens are in contact with the pistil. To do this, shake the bag gently.
- To ensure thorough pollination, leave the bag for two days and two nights.
- After, remove the bag carefully to avoid knocking off the pollen that is on the pistils.
