I think I understand how it works
1.Pollinate the flower by rubbing a thin paintbrush on the females fluff in the middle of the seed with pollen from the males yellow buds
2.Wait for magic and nature to make seeds
3.Plant the seeds and get a ____x____
Is that right?

In the name. The plant the seeds came from comes first and the plant used to pollinate the mother plant comes second

Be polite
Be efficient

I often will just clip the anther off completely when its ready and pollinate directly. If the anther was from a B52 and the stigma (female part) was in the flower of a typical the cross would be Typical x B52. You can also self pollinate if you only have one flower.

I have young vfts sprouting from a few different crosses this year, but unfortunately I just tossed the seeds into peat and didn't label which seeds were which.
