Advice on my breeding program..

[wman44]

so i sprouted some seeds and have obtained a clone so here's my plan for the season..
i have 2 afghanixpurple kush
3 sweet tooth
i white widow clone
i hoping to get a male out of the afghanixpurplekush to cross with the white widow and a sweet tooth
my question lies in the pollenating
im gonna do the watercolor brush method but i dunno when to introduce the pollen to the female flowers?
any ideas?

if you started all the plants at the same time you can pollinate itwhen ever your male plant opens up and pollen starts dropping out, as it will be the same age as the female plants it will be a 'natural' like process.

Ya, as soon as they both are in full bloom.

Another way you can do it to get more seeds is to let the female grow a little longer than the male so it develops more receptive pollen sites. When the female gets pollinated for the first time, it stops/slows down the growth of new receptor sites.

I've never actually done this before, but i've heard this is a good idea from friends and from a few books and magazines i've read.
