Alright I'm sorry if this has been asked and answered before but both the internal search and Google got me nothing and as much as I love messing around with plants and science I don't have time to read 65 plus pages of posts so if I may

I have 3 blue amnesia seeds from dinafem

I also have 3 emerald triangle lemon haze seeds left as well

both of these strains are nice and I'd like to grow a couple now and again but don't always have access to new seeds to purchase so one thing I'm really wanting to do is make more seeds I'm also looking at a couple of new strains to add to the collection and am thinking about just buying singles or the smallest packs available.

Here are my questions

1 can you reverse sections of a plant and pollinate the rest? For example spray cs on the lower branches and then allowed the upper branches to pollinate and get seeds?

2 What's the best and easiest way to do this I have seen a few posts saying that cs is questionable at best so what's the number one way to do it then?

3 I have my grow tent set up for growing but also have a small tent that I want to use for breeding in my closet if I can do one plant and get seeds from it. Would a fan in there be enough to spread the pollen around? To do it all off one plant?

4 about how many seeds can I expect off of a plant if the single plant method is doable?

For example I know I could let 3 corn plants go to seed and that'd give me enough seed for next year or harvest beans until so and so date and then let the pods go for seed

If I had 2 strains I wanted to cross would you spray one plants and then set the other plant next to it or would you spray parts of both plants and let pollen Form each plant get on each other (if that makes sense)

Thanks Chuck

Yes. Just make sure you don't get any of the spray on the rest of the plant, and it should be fine. It's definitely possible to reverse one branch (or a few). Make sure you start lst'ing the branches you intend to spray early and horizontally, so they extend away from the rest of the plant, that you don't want to get CS on.

2 What's the best and easiest way to do this I have seen a few posts saying that cs is questionable at best so what's the number one way to do it then?
CS is not questionable. It is probably the best reversal method right now, for Cannabis. If you are using auto's start spraying as soon as you see all female preflowers (make sure the plant isn't a hermie or a male before spraying, or you won't be able to tell the difference between reversed pollen sacs and hermie/male ones). If you are using photo's grow out a clone to make sure it's not a hermie, and then start spraying a plant a few days before switching to 12/12.

A fan would be more than enough, but you'll probably spread the pollen elsewhere also. Your best bet is to take the plant that you reversed into another room, collect pollen, and then pollinate it/any other pant (while still in another room). Leave them overnight after being pollinated, and then thoroughly mist them with water to kill any left over pollen, before intreoducing them back into the growing area.

I would just reverse one and then heavily pollinate the other plant, that way all the seeds have the same parent for the mother/father. Also, there is no need to reverse both plants.

You can easily get 100's or thousands of seeds if you reverse one plant and pollinate (including self pollination using only one plant).
