I have the standard mesh kitchen strainers, which basically allowed most of the dried flower bits to pass through, as well, but there was definitely pollen in there.
When I started this, I ordered a really fine-mesh strainer - not sure if it's supposed to be for getting fat off of broth, or for tea, but it arrived.
I took all my stored "pollen" for my semi-successful first try and put it through the new strainer. Really, really big difference. Just the dust-fine stuff passed through, so now I have about two .5 ml vials of what is mostly pollen. Looking forward to trying it out next time I grow "grapefruit" plants.
Here's the item listing on eBay is anyone else wants to grab one. It's cheap, but since it ships from China, it takes about a month, so if you have any urgency, look for similar items from a domestic supplier.

Also - C99 is going very well. Still did about a total of four or five sprays, but stopped as soon as flowers were showing sex, and just the very bottom of the plant looks definitely male, all the rest female. I did this one early enough that I might be able to pollinate the same plant. If not, I have two C99s that are about 25 days behind this one that just went into flowering light cycle.
