Indoor HeavyWeight's Fast & Vast - Ponytailing

Being a virgin at this, I'm not sure how I want to proceed with the sprayed plant. As a kid I worked in a nursery for a seed company where we cross pollinated plants using plastic bags and brown paper bags. The plastic bags covered the flowers before they opened and after so they wouldn't get open air pollinated. The brown paper bags were stapled over the flowers from the plants that we wanted to collect pollen from. Once we had pollen in the bags we'd pull the plastic bags and quickly slip over the brown paper bag and staple it to the plant, shaking the bag a bit.

I want to try and make seed but not the whole plant. What would you guys do? Any guesses as to covering the flowers with bags would do to cannabis flowers?

When I've wanted to only pollinate one bud I've used a light fluffy lady's make up brush and just tickled the bud lightly after dipping it in the pollen.
 
Good tip! I have some fine art brushes, that should do the trick. There are a lot of male flowers on that stem, 3 sets of flowers with male flowers.

They'll make a lot pollen, er should... None have opened yet but a few look close. I'm going to try and store some since there should be plenty. I read up last night about storing it, its seems best to put it in a glass jar and store in the freezer. Some say it can last years... A test because I can :)
 
Day 47
I had a little yellowing on some fan leaves on a couple plants the other day so I juiced these girls up. They liked it and apparently need more than my first auto's I grew, Fastbuds LSD-25 and Dinafem Critical +.
5 of them with the Nirvana and Flash girls lurking in the shadows, #6 is currently segregated making polen. I think I'm going to put the Nirvana girls outside next weekend. May just transplant in the ground as carefully I can and see what happens.

The knuckle I guess you call it from super cropping the top, it's stiff now and a bit bigger.

This top has some potential. My old grow buddy stopped by today and she's the first one he pointed out. I like to grow indica dominant plants and he prefers Sativa so we trade nugs to switch it up, I think he wants this one!

Day 51
Buds are swelling up very nicely, decent trichome production. They have been drinking heavily and wanting more nitrogen from the signs of the yellowing lower fan leaves. I've been giving them nutes the last three waterings, 2tsp/10ml of the Trio and 5ml of Cal/Mag. The stretchy one appears to be sativa dominant with the slower developing buds, the other 5 are pretty much identical, indica dominant.

I collected some pollen today with a pair of tweezers I pulled the pollen sacks just starting to open. I then used a brush to pollinate a couple flowers.
