Different ideas came to mind when figuring this out .
Thought about unions. But it sure seems dumb having to unhook every time I want to move the table . I’ve worked with high pressure 4” lines and we had swivels , but unsure if they make something like that in pvc , and could only imagine the cost if they did.

So . Let cut the bottom out of the basket .

I hope not to have to do that. Thats why Im encoraged on the unintended preflower polination, definitely gonna try it again, intentionally tho. It looks like a 3-4 week headstart for the boy worked well, probably 50 or so seeds in a plant that will probably hit close to 2 oz.
That's crossed my mind in the past. If you just want a handful to play with dusting the pre flowers is probably a good choice.

The way I did it was cut a branch off your male with loads of nutsacks on it. Put it in a different room with low air flow in a cup of water with a piece of printer paper ontop with a hole cut just big enough for the stem to go through and wait for the flowers to open. Collect that pollen.

Get a paint brush and paint the pollen onto the bud sites you'd like to pollinate. Cover with ziplock baggie for a few hours (6-12) , you should see the pistils change, foliar the entire plant to make sure all excess pollen that has fallen on leaves and what have you is soaked and inert before you put it back in the flowering space near other plants.

It's been a really long time since I did this, but I don't recall having seeds in the buds I did not intend to have seeds in.

That's how I selectively pollinate.
