Crash course in pollination needed ASAP!

I am in need of understanding of the marijuana reproductive process.
As it stands I have a small patch of plants from bagseed which yeilded 1 female and 5 males That females fate is to be gangbanged. Now the thing is 40 yards from there I have 4 females that I would like to get a few seeds from in order to ensure futurity, but I dont want them to be seedbags. another 50 yards away are plants I do not want seeded at all.
I see that several hairs are curled up and brown on the females in the second patch, the plants are no where near finishing, does this mean they are pollinated? Oh btw only like 3 flowers have opened on the males at this time, so things have not gone crazy yet, but they will have by the end of the week.
I remember how pistols and stamens work and all but I have not practiced controlled reproduction of marijuana yet.
Pictures, diagrams and DETAILED information on how to actively observe the degree of pollination before it's too late would be greatly appreciated.

BTW the only other person near here I know that grows outside is an asshole and he can suck it. So don't bitch me out for pollinating the neighbors weed.
Thx,

well first you have to at least take out all but ONE male, and i personally would try n pick off all the sacks i read somethin bout puttin em in a jar to open and then use the pollen on a q tip or somethin to pollinate only the buds u want seeds from.....something along those lines but someone else with more practice can tell you more......maybe even just collect a few sacks and throw all males away.....

and throw away, actually you might have to burry the males cause they will still open after pulled

Hey thanks for mentioning that I guess I kind of dee-tee-dee'd when I pulled a male and threw it in the bushes today..... oops, good point!

allright so each little pollen dust particle is like a little spermy and the pistil is a big slimy toungue that wants to catch one little spermy and drag back into the calyxe where it will impregnate the "egg" and form a seed,

basically you should select one male that looks like you want to cross breed, put plastic bags over the flowers and seal em off with a rubber band wait till the flowers start popping then chop the whole flower in the bag, let the pollen collect, then use a paint brush or q tip to pollinate the flowers you want seed from, probably the popcorn buds towards the bottom,

NOW FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT PART!,

PUT ASIDE A LITTLE BAGGY OF POLLEN, AND PUT IT ASIDE SO I CAN ACQUIRE IT FROM YOU NEXT TIME I ROLL THROUGH THE WEST SIDE, DUDE.

oh and i dont think there is any way to really control the pollination other than collect and brush, cause the spermies be floatin in the air, your nostrils, all over your shirt, and only one is all it takes to make each seed, think millions off each male, oh and sorry bout your luck with neighbors, I to have had a had go of meeting quality mmj folk
