no dont wait for the first set of balls to bust, set some foil to collect underneath and wait, when the top busts youll get a TON of pollen. pollen will still be viable at room tem for a few day(even up to a week or 2) pollen can be frozen but i dont recommend it(condensation will kill it when you unthaw) after you let it dry for 24 hours just wrap it up in foil and lable it and put it in the fridge. i have had pollen stay good for 6 months before.

youll need a fair amount of pollen to get a good amount of seeds. i have had weak males straight up bust in the flower room before and all i could find was a couple immature seeds at harvest.

dont try to collect pollen that is from an unopened flower it wont work.(at least not well if at all)

yea the only spot available is a small closet next to the grow room,i'll see wat i get and if one really sticks out i'll chk it out.if i plan on buyin future beans from may as well seed a branch, maybe get enuff pollen before many girls flower..wen i pollenate i'll remove it from the room ,put a trash bag over it with a hole for one branch to go through,i'll use a small paint brush and lightly dip and brush,remove the bag and put back in the room.sounds like a plan.

the main thing is not to count your chickens b4 they hatch, and by that i mean wait for real pollen burst, the early pollen isnt very fertile. when hes ready youll have a cloud of pollen while your working and this is when real mistakes are made. i had and acidental pollination recently (sneezed on the dish i was using to ditribute) luckily it all hit one plant and that it was the plant i wanted to make a seed bearer.

hell yeah im just happy your starting to breed. gets hard dealing with all the ways to get quality seeds, better to just make your own. plus if you spend a few years doing your own little thing you can stabilize a few of your own strains.
