The seed store on here is supposed to be good there's also the attitude seed bank. They deliver almost every where and are a very reputable company. I've had them replace beans for me that didn't pop before.
 
Here's a trick. Cut off all of the male parts of the plant except for one branch. Cover that branch with a bag and tape it at the bottom so its tightly shut and let the plant develop. The bag will catch the pollen released so you can collect it later and apply it to a single bud on your female plant. Ideally you should separate them if you can.
Nice idea. But would this suffocate the plant?
 
It's only the remaining pollen sack you're covering the rest of the plant is exposed fine.

I tried that once, and it screwed the branch that I had the bag over up. It also allowed the humidity to spike, and caused mold on the branch.

Ideally you'd open the bag once a day to let the trapped moisture out. That'd also be important because you don't want to taint the pollen.
 
Seems easier, to remove the plant, and collect the pollen elsewhere. The male plant does not need as much light to finish, and it would be a shame to make a mistake.
I finish my males under 40 watts of T12 fluorescent, and collect the pollen on a mirror under the plant. It is real easy, and there is less chance of mold, or accidental pollination of the room.

Here is a male I collected pollen from, when I just started, breeding cannabis 6 years ago. IMAG0093 (Custom).jpg
I had a friend checking out the plant, and hunting for bugs.
