Questions about pollinating my females????

Hey,

So, I have 9 plants. I have eight females and one male. The eight females are in a group/patch, and I have the male about one hundred yards from them because it just started dropping pollen, luckily my females really haven't started to bud yet. The thing is that I have two three outstanding females that I would like to breed. But I only want them to have seeds on maybe three buds each, instead of ruining the whole crop. How do I do this safely and effectively? Do I collect pollen and store it? How long will pollen stay viable if I store it at room temperature? Please be as detailed and accurate as possible, I don't wanna ruin this crop as it could yield easily a lb and 1/2. I know there are other threads about this but they are not as in depth as I would like. Thanks Guys.:leaf::-P

Collect and as soon as you see females budding start, use a atop or brush to paint it where you want the seeds. As for how long pollen is viable, I can't say for sure. I'm doing the same right now on a LA Confidentail. Painted the pollen on a couple buds to keep from the whole thing being seeded.
