Pollination is an essential part of growing marijuana plants. It helps to increase the yield of the harvest and makes it easier to select the best indoor strain for higher yields. There are two main methods used for pollinating marijuana plants; hand pollination and wind pollination. Hand-pollination involves the use of forceps or tweezers to collect pollen

How do pollination marijuana plants work
Weed sexing basically implies deciding the orientation of your Marijuana. While pot at times might be bisexual (having the two pistils and stamens), for the most part, plants are entirely male or female. Following four or five weeks you will begin to get an opportunity at sexing the plants. Albeit by and large viewed as one of the trickiest pieces of developing your own cannabis. Marijuana sexing is very direct and will become simpler as you acquire insight. The justification behind sexing your plants is with the goal that you can eliminate male plants before they get an opportunity to fertilise the females. Assuming this happens the females will begin to foster seeds and this will redirect their energy from THC creation. On the off chance that course isn't cool. Let's run wild if plants will create pre-blossoms after around 4 - a month and a half. This is the ideal opportunity to eliminate the guys and start the blooming stage.
Marijuana is a dioecious plant which just implies that the guys will create dust and the females will deliver seeds. In spite of the fact that, as in different types of life, bisexuals do happen. Except if you are a raiser or generally developing for seed stock, it is special to have all female plants as it is the unfertilized calyx or buds which are the most psychoactive and intense piece of the plant, the THC, CBN and CBD. So your seedless buds (sinsemilla) are the most favoured reap for smoking as no energy or weight has gone into making seeds. In this manner, to utilise energy, reality on male plants is inefficient of restricted assets; subsequently they ought to be distinguished as soon as could be expected and either isolated (for rearing) or annihilated before they discharge their dust. Periodically weed will show pre-blossoms (youthful marks of the sex of the plant) while still in the vegetative state, yet by and large require the shift to the blooming stage (shortening the light routine to 12/12 - 12 hours of light and 12 hours of complete dull).
Blossoming is the main genuine method for sexing your plants
In spite of the fact that you might get it together from their development designs prior to blooming. Male marijuana plants will generally be leggier than female plants with a more extended internodal length. Female plants are vagrant with additional leaves and a bushier viewpoint. Male pre-blossoms ought to be plainly noticeable to the eye, albeit an amplifying glass will make your occupation more straightforward. Male blossoms structure at the intersections of the branches and stem and the dust sacs structure little balls.
Female pre-blossoms will likewise frame at the intersection of branches and stem however will typically begin to shape at the fourth or fifth branches up from the base. They are effectively recognized by the presence of sets of little white hairs, known as pistils.
A few producers force blooming by changing the light cycle before the presence of pre-blossoms. They then watch their plants intently for the presence of blossoms and eliminate the guys. In any case, others accept that this can pressure the plants and is definitely not a demonstrated approach to accelerating the cycle as plants constrained in this manner might spend longer in the blooming stage, offsetting the benefit.
Recognizing orientation
An amplifying glass is useful however excessive. Look close to the top branches right where they fork from the tail. The male sex organ will seem to be a little playing card-type club. The female sex organ will show a calyx with two little white hairs distending from the top. In the event that you are uncertain or unfit to deciding the sex, basically stand by a couple of additional days until the organs are more developed and simpler to recognize. The guys are still excessively youthful to make dust so there is no risk in pausing.
Early sexing
There are two methods for telling the sex of a plant sooner than the plant would typically uncover its orientation.
Force blossoming by putting the plant under a 12/12 light cycle. The downsides of this are that two separate rooms or develop spaces are required. Yet again more critically the plant gets hormonally befuddled being exchanged between vegging to blossoming, then back to vegging lastly blooming. This technique permits you to separate your guys early, yet doubtlessly will defer your collection for half a month.
Cover a lower branch with dark plastic cut from a trash container. Try not to utilise a slim pack that permits light to go through. This should be placed on at regular intervals and eliminated like clockwork simultaneously. The branch will show its sex some time before the remainder of the plant while as yet permitting it to 'veg' in any case ordinarily.
Bisexuals
Every so often a plant will display the two genders. This typically happens when a female plant is late into blossom and remains unpollinated. In a final desperate attempt to make seeds, pot plants have a crisis fall back: they some of the time make few male blossoms trying to fertilize themselves. A few cultivators squeeze off the couple of apparent 'bananas'; others might eliminate as well as obliterate the planet so as not to pollinate an entire yield. Marijuana sexing isn't troublesome once you dive more deeply into some essential plant physiology.
Cloning
Cloning weed is an incredible technique to use as all shoots are hereditarily indistinguishable from the parent. In this way assuming that you find a benefactor parent plant that you like (one with beneficial hereditary qualities) and is huge and solid enough to eliminate branches for cuttings, you might skirt the entire sexing custom as they are 100 percent a similar sex as the parent.
Feminized pot seeds
These are a generally new peculiarity on the marijuana culture scene, and keeping in mind that peered downward on by a few old folks, perfectionists and enormous scope producers, are an extraordinary aid to the little cultivator with restricted reality. It is right now impractical to tell the sex of a pot seed by looking at it (however numerous untested legends proliferate), yet the blend of guys and females is generally cream. The bigger how much seed bought and additionally planted, the nearer the proportion will be to half. In any case, on the off chance that you buy a little amount, for example, five seeds, it is possible to get all guys, all females or any in the middle between. Feminized weed seeds are not secure nor 100 percent ensured, however proportions of 90%+ female are very normal.
Why is it so Vital to Perceive the Early Indications of male plants?
As referenced, male marijuana establishments just produce dust sacks and no bud by any means. Female pot plants are the sole makers of the blossoms that we use to smoke, accordingly in a perfect world we just need females in our yield.
You might be asking yourself, what the concern is of developing male and female pot plants?
Set forth plainly when male pot plants come into development the little sacks that foster on the plant are filled to the edge with dust and prepared to burst all of a sudden. When these sacks burst, the dust held inside them will shower out toward each path drifting through the air with the sole reason for tracking down a female bloom to fertilise.
When a female bloom is pollinated, the plant will redirect a large portion of its energy into making seeds to go against creating more buds. The subsequent harvest will be loaded up with heaps of pot seeds, the bud will be practically unusable and it will miss the mark on intensity, taste and smell that you need from your weed.
To stay away from this event, quite possibly the main ability that any new cultivator can learn is sexing weed plants and detecting the early indications of male plants prior to blooming.
Compound Leaf Tests Can Decide Sex and Strength for plants as youthful as 1-3 weeks
Synthetic leaf testing is getting more affordable consistently and can be utilized on marijuana seedlings with only a couple of sets of passes on to test for sex and future intensity.
These tests just require a minuscule measure of plant tissue (for instance a little finish off from a leaf, or a solitary cotyledon leaf), so it won't do any harm or dial back your seedlings to step through an examination test!
By and large, the tests are accessible for seedlings as youthful as 1-3 weeks. Sex testing utilizes a continuous polymerase chain response (qPCR) test, and intensity tests use Gas Chromatography with a Fire Ionization Finder (GC/FID) or High-Tension Fluid Chromatography with a Diode Exhibit Indicator (HPLC) for testing.
In spite of the fact that testing should be possible as soon as week 1 from germination, holding on until week 3 to lead testing on seedlings can expand exactness, and a few organisations won't direct testing until week 3.
There are many reasons producers might want to realize plant sex as soon as could be expected, as well as have the option to appraise the general THC/CBD proportions of future buds!
