branch isolation for breeding?

I have pollen from a vortex male and would like to dust a branch of a female with. I want to just do one or two lower branches and isolate them because I can't move the plant. I've tried covering with a plastic bag, but it just seems to kill the branch with condensation and excessive heat. How can I pollinate just one branch and keep it from spreading?

Also in the future I'd like to try making fem seeds and was wondering what ppm of collodial silver do I need? 40,50,250,500 etc.... Thanks for any info.

Anyone? I have two branches I trained outside of my screen to keep them as seperate as possible. But I need a different technique than covering with a bag...

I pollinate individual branches and buds with an artist paint brush, it works great with no unwanted pollination of other bud sites. All you need is to take your pollen, keeping it in glass is best and easiest to work with, put some pollen on the paintbrush and lightly rub over the pistils, whala, seeds in 4 to 6 weeks.

The paint brush is probably the most accurate way But I have always used either a paper lunch bag or the even smaller paper candy bag. I just slipped the bag around a low hanging female bud/branch, twisted it off and gave it a little thump or two.

I'll tell you what though it's really amazing how much of a plant you can fertilize with such small amounts of man seed so depending on how many seeds your looking for go easy. May your X's be all your hoping for.

I'm betting without really knowing that one little scrawny male plant could successfully polinate acres. :dunce:
