If I was to put pollen on a hybrid, does the branch location even matter? Are all seeds basically the same where ever the pollen lands? Is a seed from the bottom branch the same as a seed from the top branch of the plant?

My mistake friend, here you go
It's not like there are literally hundreds of my pictures all over this website or anything

I’ve made the mistake of pollinating lower branches and it’s okay if you only want a handful of seeds since obviously there’s less bulk down there. I got 30-40 seeds. I choose a sacrificial top bud now. Last time off just one top bud in a lickle experiment tent and 2L pots I got over 100.
I think outdoors where photon penetration isn’t as much of an issue I reckon it would t matter too much.

Those look like super plants from Mandala seeds.My mistake friend, here you go

Pollinate whole plant no half measures!

I always ask for consent before I put a picture of my plants online, they don't yet give me an answer.

Pollinating a whole plant makes way too many seeds unless you plan to start a breeding business or feed birds.
Indoors: Fans off.
I cut a hole in a paper bag and slide overtop bud, tie bottom of bag to stem, spray outside bottom of bag with water. From the top, brush pollen (or tap) to introduce pollen, close top. I open next day and spray everything inside bag so remaining pollen is useless.
I like to pollinate top cola as i always have too much to consume.

It depends on how old/ how large the plant is. It does seem that there are micro differences in DNA as time goes on. Probably copying errors as cells divide during growth. I don't remember the thread, but there are papers that show DNA differences between lower and upper parts of the plant, and between one branch and another. To get the best source of original DNA into the offspring, you should use the lowest buds on the plant. As with clones in theory. However, it may be wise to consider pollinating the part of the plant you like the most, thickest branch, largest bud etc. That's how I choose where to clone from.

The plants power is most focused in its apex
Main stem top bud quality seed, also the best smoke before its seeded
