Thanks Yeti! The other moms have some swollen seed pods too. The only one I couldn’t photograph was the Sour Bubba.
Here’s the Cookies n Chem
This ones the NL. She’s only got one big pod, but there are clearly a bunch more not far behind.
Here’s the Grandpa Glue. Unfortunately the grandpa glue had an accident and is totally flipped now... but Im about to give her a bit of a stake to stand her up. She’s got seed pods thoug
looks like I’ll be getting seeds of all kinds! The only question is will they be viable.

Grab 5 of each and send them to me. I'll test them for viability for you! 
Because you don't have a whole bunch of seeds on your plants take some advice from someone (me) who has made quite a lot of seeds. RESIST THE URGE to pluck any seeds off until they're at least 5-6 weeks old. And then just take one from the last plant you pollinated figuring it that one is fully mature the others most likely could be as well.

alright, I’ll wait til June 20 to check one. That’ll be 6 weeks from today which should be plenty, the seeds should be about a week old by now.
you can only test their viability if you also test their flowering cycle!

A purple Sour Bubba might be an interesting pheno.

Any of these crosses that turn out solid purple and less whiny than the Star Pupil would be great.
What's the latest update on your seed making project? You checking those girls for seeds and finding any new ones?

The cookies n chem is full of seeds. As is the Sour Bubba. I’m expecting the NL to show some seed pods soon here.
That's excellent news. Your very first attempt at reversing a plant appears to be a smashing success. Job well done!

Thanks Beez! Couldn’t have done it without ya! I’ll put some more pics up of the moms in a bit. But yeah, seems to be a big success. Now I’ve just gotta keep the moms happy til delivery day.
I also chopped the pollen branches off the star pupil yesterday

Yeah unless you just wanted to collect some pollen you did good getting rid of the treated branches.

I’ve got a little bit saved. I’ll give it a go a little later on, maybe I’ll try dusting a Terple branch
Consider putting a dozen or so grains of rice in that bag.

That’s mostly rice flour in there with a bit of pollen...
I've never wrapped my head around that flour mix idea. I don't want to pollinate a pistil with flour. I would guess that it would be possible to block the stigma with flour thus preventing the pollen from entering the pistil's tube.

I don’t much like the idea either.. but adding a small amount of rice flower made the task of grouping up the pollen easier. I move the flower around on the card and it picks up the pollen.
I think that the rice flower is much larger than the pollen. I guess we’ll find out when I try to use it.

Late to the party but I've certainly learned something.
Always an interesting read, Chef
In to see how this turns out now. Makes me want to cross some strains!! But I think I'm going to have to grow a few to figure which are right for me

Thanks for checkin it out burdok. This is my very first attempt at a reverse and pollination. I haven’t posted in a while, but we’re basically just waiting for the moms to show me mature seeds.. I’m expecting that to happen around the middle of JuneLate to the party but I've certainly learned something.

Well here we are at the middle of June, my moms have definitely got plenty of mature seeds.
i chopped my star pupil mom up tonight, I’ve picked out 80 or so s1s.There’s probably 4-5 that aren’t viable.
I’ll let all the shake dry out and go through it again in a few days. The other plants I’ll chop and hang tomorrow. I’m not planning to consume the SP material because of the CS applications. I’m sure it would still be fine, Im not going to use it regardless.

Great job on the seeds. Doing some quick math here you produced 80 (so far) Star Pupil seeds that sell for approximately $17.00 each. So this round of seed making for just the S1 Star Pupil seeds gives you a future savings of 80x17= $1,360.00
