I agree with everything in the below approach....
"Best time to pollinate is the 2nd and repeat on the 3rd week after flowers are formed.
IMO-- best time to pollinate is when the female has a dime-sized "puff" of hairs at a bunch of nodes, and the male has a LOT of opening/open flowers.
If you have other plants, take the "breeders" elsewhere for 3-4 days (all they need is a 100w CFL to keep em going) and shake the male onto the female every day as he releases more pollen. Before you return the female to the 12/12 room with other plants, spray her down well with water in the shower 1st to remove any stray pollen.
Every calyx has the potential to become a seed-- so the more hairs/calyx she has, the more seeds you'll get. BUT: If you wait too long to pollinate, the seeds may not be mature at time of harvest..."
