I need to pollinate these two plants successfully without contamination to the rest of the plants or the rest of my tent with residual pollen. Any ideas? I’m trying to just make a few for my self.
Controlled pollination advice needed plz

Pollinate outside of tent, rinse off after a few days then put back in.
You could try bags and zip ties while in tent
No guarantees on either method, expect unwanted pollination.
Use paintbrush
as your pollinator

Hey thanks man I was considering both ways. By rinse do you mean like a saturated mist?

Yes I just heavy mist and set in front of fan.
I was outside of tent and pollinated whole plant. First time a few weeks ago so I'm no expert.

What are you using? Genetics wise for this venture? If you don't mind me asking.

Im using mixed pollen from 2 male Copper Chem to pollinate a particular copper Chem female and a Texas Chem female with a very distinct terpene profile I have been after. Just trying to see what I get. All Greenpoint genetics. I may hit a Blue god female later down the line or a blue god x gsc female

Thought about misting the rest of the plant before I pollinate but idk

I wouldn't do that.
Just get a small paint brush like that comes in kids kits. Get pollen on tip of brush and softly brush pistils where you want to pollinate. Wait a day or two, then apply again. Wait a couple days then wet down plant. Done

I'm sure @J.James or @Heisenbeans are more qualified to answer these questions I'm just trying to help.
Be careful. I kept a male in its own tent, on the other side of the room, and I still wound up pollinating my whole tent of females. When you access the male you will get pollen on your skin, hair, and clothes that you can bring over to your females. If you want to be extra safe then collect the pollen in a container and then do the paintbrush pollination on another day just to make sure the pollen isn’t still in the air of the room or on you.

Have you considered taking cuttings and pollinating those?

Definitely opens possibilities.

When I was going to mess with this another plan was to find the male then put it back in veg as soon as it showed. Let it get bigger under a gentle light while growing out the females and getting their clones rooted.
Main reason for this was to get the smoke from the moms before messing with pollen, the flip the female clones and male (or clones from it) to make the beans.
Never made a bean on purpose though so take that weith a grain of salt.

Yeah I have considered it but I’m not the greatest cloner in the world.(I need to work on it). And also they are about three weeks in flower already.

Yeah I removed all my males at first sign of sex. They went straight the fuck outside lol. Culled them all but two really resilient funky smellin males. Surprisingly they made it through the low temps last night so I may collect a bit more pollen before I give em the chop tonight. I was real careful collecting the pollen the first time and did it upstairs away from my tent. Hell I even turned my furnace off in an attempt not to circulate it. Also collected on a day I didn’t need to be anywhere near my tent
. I pulled the ripe sacks outside and placed them in a closed container to bring in and collect at my table

Glad you asked. I’m going to F2 some Cherry Wines I got going. My plan is to collect the pollen in a long skinny white bag and put it over the branch I want to pollinate and tie it on for a few days, leaving it out side of the flower tent. Then I’ll take the bag off, spray the plant, let it dry and back into the flower tent.

Sounds like a logical plan. Everyone seems to be saying pretty close to the same thing. Thanks man
