Ive collected a bunch of seeds from various dealers here in my little suburb and am ready to start growing in my closet. however these seeds are all i have and were just plain luck i found them in the bud. So my question is, assuming that at least one seed goes male and one female is there a way to get just one or two of the flowers on the female to grow seeds? how many flowers would u suggest pollinating. buying seeds over the mail is just not an option where i live so i gotta go with this. thanks in advance.

Welcome OrionTheHunter
We always encourage those new to growing to read our Grow Guide as linked in my signature. It was written especially for people like you who have a million questions and don't know where to turn.

After having spent time with that, you can try out our search
feature, using the blue button at the top of this page in the row
of seven. By entering a phrase like "pollinating preflowers" you can read many threads and opinions on your topic. And once you find someone whose opinion you respect, you can specify the search to return only answers from them.

And lastly, our Posting Guidelines are linked in my sig as well.
We have very few rules, but the ones we do have are enforced
pretty well... we want a happy, well organized site where folks
actually enjoy helping each other with our favorite plants.
Posting in proper forums is required, and no flaming or trolling
is allowed.
Please review the Posting Guidelines in their entirety.

It is a fascinating hobby, and one that anyone can learn how to
do with a bit of reading and patience.
Lets' get started!

You could selectively pollinate or take the easy road and just take clones (cuttings) of any females you get.
Taking clones speeds up the process and you don't have the added pollen problems that come with keeping mature males.

Hey You! welcome

Good question Most dont go near the pollen it seems that most dont want seed cuz they is afraid it might take away potentcy

Look up. at the top of the page is what we quaintly call a search button. We have a 'grow guide' too. Infact, there are many ways to learn the details of cannabis.

I like to do random searches useing either words, like pollen, and names, like oh maybe Brindy. If you were to use either word, you would come up with a thread something like this...http://www.hempcultivation.com/420/s...ht=pollination
Now go play and dont come back untill you have learned something new.
