    Default Creating my own strain

    I live in Brazil where I only have 12 hours of daylight. Getting indoor grow equipment is hard here which makes growing outdoors ideal. I want to produce my own seeds and breed for goo quality. My plan is to order a few feminized Autoflower seeds from a reputable company then get some local seeds looking for a male plant. I will cross breed with the local males with the chronic females I get in hopes of getting some good seeds. My question is can I save male pollen in a container and brush lightly on some branches so that I can get some seeds without ruining my own head stash? I want to do select breeding and try to improve quality over time. I will label each seed I produce and keep mating with the original male to have consistency, or if I keep using the same male I risk of passing on the lower quality wild cannabis traits? Should I try to use various male seeds from each generation in trying to attempt to make my own strong yielding plants? Thank you for the help

    Welcome bud.
    Yes you can store the male pollen in a container and pollinate individual branches,outside it is a bit more difficult as pollen is very light and travels easily with a slight breeze.
    I pollinated a branch on an auto with another auto that I had forced to grow pollen sacks,got over 50 seeds from those few buds.
