I do the bottom buds with a paintbrush and a ziplock full of pollen that way I know where the seeds are and findem. My purple #1 threw out some hermie pollen but the seeds are still few and far between except where you wantem. People are way to paranoid of pollen and seeds. I might not want to many of my seeds to get in the hands of the public but if they where serious growers they wouldnt be buyin it from me anyways. It'd be dumb not to polinate my f2 early pearls, they get earlier every year. I'm using my Blue Thunder X Big bad john super auto for a male this year except for my sativas, still waitin on my sativa pollen but they aclimize over time as long as you have time to finish the seed out, a light frost dont hurt either, I usually stick my seeds in the freezer before i germ carefully not to burn them.
