Is it possible to make only one part of the plants make seeds?

I have a few seeds from awesome strains , but they're just random seeds not feminized. Like I have one bubba kush seed If I can get it to grow it may be a male. But I like the genetics of it's mother so I would be interested in breeding it with another strong strain. But I can only grow like 2 or 3 plants so I don't want to have a crop full of seeds. Is it possible to only pollinate one small bud for seeds ? Then I could have bubba gdp seeds or something good like that for a good female .

Sure!
We do it all the time.
Just shake some pollen into a small paper bag.
Let it settle.
While you wait, spray the female with tap water, everywhere that you don't want seeds.
Leave a lower limb dry.
Then, very slowly, slip the bag over that lower limb, seal it around the stem and "snap" the bag with your finger.
Wait a few hours for the magic to happen.

Then, spray the paper bag with tap water and shake the limb.
That will trap and deactivate stray pollen grains.
Carefully cut, and remove the bag and spray the limb with tap water.
(Don't want seeds poppin' up everywhere, yah).

Then, wait.

Aloha,

Dang Weezard! Thats a great idea. :thumbsup: I usually just kill the fans, and start painting. Water would be some pretty effective "masking tape".
