A GREAT QUESTION AND A TOPIC I BELIEVE DESERVES IT'S OWN FORUM SECTION.....IT GETS REAL COMPLICATED WITH GENETICS ETC.....I NEED MANY ANSWERS AS WELL AS A CROSS I WOULD LIKE TO TRY......

All I CAN SAY IS I HAVE HEARD OF THE PAINT BRUSH METHOD......BUT WHAT I USED TO DO WAS COLLECT MALE POLLEN AND PLACE IT IN A SANDWICH BAG....THEN WRAP (PLACE) THE BAG OF POLLEN AROUND A COLA/BRANCH YOU WANT SEEDED...SHAKE THE BAG/BRANCH ETC........OBVIOUSLY YOU GET TO HARVEST A "MAINLY" FEMALE PLANT WITH ONLY SOME SEEDS ON ONE BRANCH.....GRANTED THE POLLEN CAN BLOW AROUND BUT THAT IS MINIMAL (one time I did get seeds in strange sections though?)...I MISTED MY COLAS WITH WATER SO THE POLLEN REMAINED MORE STATONARY AND NOT POWDERY TO BLOW AROUND....A LITTLE POLLEN GOES A LONG WAY I DISCOVERED...........

BUT THE DECISION OF WHICH SEX TO CROSS WITH WHICH SEX....A DILEMNA AND SCIENCE MANY HAVE...I NEVER TRIED SERIOUSLY BUT ALWAYS USED THE MALE PLANT AS THE PARENT I HOPED WOULD BE MORE DOMINANT...IN OTHER WORDS IF I WANTED MORE NORTHERN LIGHTS IN A PLANT I USED A MALE NORTHERN LIGHT POLLEN.....BUT I AM NO SCIENTIST...JUST A HOBBYIST

AND YES ALL...I KNOW I WRITE IN CAPS...IT'S A TRADEMARK.....LOL
