Does anyone out there know of an easy way to cross breed? I'm looking to cross breed to good seeds.

well I could be wrong but I think you just put a male of one strain with a female of the other strain. Then the whole birds and bees thing happens

If You want to avoid getting sh!t loads of seed all over the plant ruining your sinsemilla crop then keep the male/s away from the females. Not so much 'far' away as the pollen can travel miles quite literally, but more separate, like behind several closed doors in some kind of well enclosed space (Or ideally across town in someone else's house). Remember that the pollen can cling to your clothes and travel to the females that way too !
Go to the male with a brown paper bag and shake a load of pollen into it, closing it slowly and gently so that the pollen doesn't fly out -- Floof -- in some kind of cloud.
Then take the bag to the female plant and put the bag, slowly and gently, over the branch where you want to grow the seed. Close the bag slowly and gently, again so you don't get a - Floof -cloud of pollen in the growroom over all the females, pollenating all of them.
Secure the end of the bag around the branch with an elastic band (not too tight but tight enough).
Leave the bag in place for a few days, occasionally tapping/shaking it so as to shake the pollen from the bag onto the branch.
Before removing the bag spray it thoroughly with water and shake it (Baby) some more which should get any remaining pollen to cling to the bag rather than Floofing everywhere. Also if you spray the branches/plants surrounding the bag with water this should discourage any stray pollen from creating more seed than you want, and spraying the branch after the bag is removed should also stop pollen wandering from where you want it to where you don't.
This should fully pollenate the area covered by the bag producing seed along that branch but not all over the whole plant. The process can of course be repeated as much as required with as many different plants as are available, as long as the pistils have not turned brown and are still receptive to pollen. What I have read is that once a pistil has changed from white to red/brown whatever it will no longer accept pollen or make seed.
If you want to cross more than one father and/or mother then write on the bag which plant/strain the pollen was from and attach a paper to the branch with a note indicating both father and mother (E.G. - NLXBB)so you'll know what the seed is when it comes out of the dried bud (which, yes , you can still smoke after curing in the usual way). Otherwise, being a pothead an' all ther's no way you'll remember which was which, unless there's only one male of course.
Hope that helps.

Green Man

PS
Apart from all that, Fudog is of course right, all that is really needed is for the male pollen to be able to reach and land on the female flowers and the miraculous mystery of reproduction is under way. However over 50% of the TOTAL weight of a fully seeded Marijuana plant is likely to be seed so unless you want LOTS of seed and little else.........................
