there is a way but your messing with the DNA of the plants. I heard if you give them 14/10 it increases the female %

What is the best way to pollinate one single female but with many different male pollens? How do you contain the pollen of one strain to just one branch without it contaminating the other branches that will be pollinated with different strains?

You can use the paper bag method but I would go with the paint brush method

but if I use a paint brush pollen will still fall onto other parts of the plant, what is a good way to prevent that?

Get yourself one of those bulb syringes like you use for kids with an ear infection. Bag up the branch and pour in a little pollen. Then take your syringe to blow air into the bag and swirl the pollen about.

if you use the plastic bag (not the cheep kind) and have pollen in it make sure there is air in it and have it taped to the branch with masking take and shake it a few times and let it settle each time before removing next I would take a non used one and do the same but just once to make sure you got the left over off. Lable the branch and there ya go

Ok so I let it settle for a while after I shake the pollen bag over the branch. does pollen still float out of the bag when removing after the "settle period"?

your putting the branch into the bag and you use masking tape to close the open end. If you use the paper bag method you still use the masking tape at the open end to close it but before you take it off you mist the paper bag and the pollen gets stuck to it.

I don't know if you can re-use the pollen but I'm thinking you can't re-use it after that

So wait, you can grow the pollinated female alongside the other, non-pollinated plants? She won't interfere or spread anything as long as I avoid keeping the fans directly at her? thnx :)

Hey all I have a Purple jem autoflower growing at the moment and she just started to flower a couple days ago at 23 days she is know 28 days I would like to know when should i pollinate her for the seeds to be finished by the time she is finished. I would say she has maybe 10 or so flowers now and she is short and compact hard to get in to pollinate.if any1 can help me with this. also if anyone else has grown it to tell me how many days she took to finish etc.
