    Try placing a paper bag over the male flowers and gently shaking the pollen off into the bag.
    For storing you want the pollen to be as dry as possible. Remove any plant matter by passing the pollen through a fine mesh screen.
    Try mixing the pollen with some dry wheat flower to help dry it more.
    This can be stored in a small test tube or jar in the fridge for later use. You can keep it for several years.
    When applying try using a soft paint or make up brush.
    Hope this helps.

      I've never saved it myself either. I had read about this before and also had a pal who kept his pollen. Personally I prefer to use feminized seeds. I would like to get into some breeding but will wait until we've moved from this house and I can get a dedicated grow room with lots of space. I'm a bit cramped in my grow area here.
