As a plant fertilizes another, sperms released from the male plant flow through the air and land on a female. The sperm cells then travel through the female’s pollen sacs, which are released by the female plant’s pollen release mechanism. When a female hemp plant grows seeds, they contain the genes of both male and female plants. But often, these plants grow more than just seeds. Hemp pollen is shown to drift for miles, which can contaminate marijuana crops.
What is Pollen?
Pollen is the male cannabis plant’s reproductive organ. It will release the pollen when it reaches maturity and the sacs open up. Then this pollen will travel through the air and get on a female cannabis plant. The genes from both the female and the male are then combined to make new seeds.
Cannabis consumers are looking for a more pure product. As such, males have been discarded as they will pollinate the female plants and create seeds. This means that males are often grown separately from the females to avoid this. Female cannabis plants only grow buds, so without males they will produce seedless buds, or sinsemilla. It is important that female plants are pollinated by a male plant to make the plant produce seeds. The pollen of one male can pollinate ten females.

You’re running low on pollen, but you don’t want to transfer it to the fridge because you have a lot of plants that need it. What do you do? There are many places people can store their pollen, but the ideal place is in a freezer. This way, the product stays uncontaminated and unspoiled for a year.
This article discusses the tricky topic of pollinating plants. Pollinating is a crucial part of plant reproduction, and in order to pollinate, pollen must be used. This can be done by applying it to the buds of the plant you want to pollinate. Seeds should form within one week, and development should be complete within three to five weeks.
Let the seeded buds dry for up to two weeks before collecting the seeds, and dry the seeds an additional 3-4 weeks in a cool, dark, dry place. You can now store them for up to six months in a cool, dry, dark place with a temperature between 60-70°F.
