Best way to collect pollen ?

can someone please tell the best method to do this !

i have a male that i want to use so can get some seeds from my female

but i also dont want her just to be overloaded with seeds also

so what would be the best way to collect the pollen and concentrate it on just one area of my female ?

like one branch of my plant have seeds and the others dont ?

iv never done this before

iv always would just let my plants just get a shit load of seeds from the male

but id rather not do it that way this time

so any help is greatly appreciated !!

Think it was DST or Willie that said a good method was to cut a branch off, place the cut end in a jar of water, and let it hang over a piece of paper, and the sacks would release the polen onto the paper which can then be stored or used.

wow thats simple enough ! ( thanks )

after i put it in water do i keep a light on it or keep in the dark ?

so i would just take the excess pollen and put it just on the area that i would want seeds ?

duhhhh , stupid me lol

idk why i didnt think about that !!!!

it helped me. now i have kush-trainwreck crossed seeds for next years grow and i'm just getting ready to pollinate a clone i took off my big kush for more seeds for next year. who wants to pay $40-50 for 10 seeds when you can make 100's..........

i tried the cutting in the water method for a male, for me it didn't work
the pollen sacks just wouldn't mature and release pollen, maybe i screwed it up
my 2nd male got isolated and collected pollen onto some pieces of paper, which worked much better
