I use a air brush. Took the next logical step from "get an artist brush..". Use as fine cone nozzle, 15-20 psi. Go to every flower site puff-puff.

Uusally I put a plastic bag over the main cola, pollenate all the other flower sites.
Grow plant and pick main cola at peak ripness for "quality control purposes". Then continue plant at least two more weeks, depending on strain, to get to mature seeds. Seeds take longer then buds!

I store pollen in 3"x5" glassine envelopes (like stamp collectors use) in a plastic recipe box in frig. (w/ my seeds). Have found pollen viable at least 5 years. Not sure after that.

I was reading this thread: http://boards.cannabis.com/indoor-growing/154374-i-think-something-bad-happened.html , but I didn't want to step on it so I thought I'd create another one. I'm growing in a really small space, 1 rubbermaid tub with 92w of CFL. I've done it once before, finished two plants, tied them over to the side and got a decent yield for my needs. The last time I started three, got one male and threw him out. But this time I started two and might consider keeping the Rating: 5
