Last year I got about 10 to 20 seeds on all non-target branches combined. So a couple of seeds per branch on non-targets. Some non-targets had zero seeds. Based on the number of seeds I got on target branches, that’s less than 1% cross-contamination.
This year, I took more care in the preparation procedure, and I made a better way to fold over the open end of the bag and wrap it around the branch with a much better seal. I expect even less cross-contamination in the current garden.
I’ll report my findings after harvest.

Fingers crossed that the majority of pollen applications take. Between prep, mail transit conditions, and storage, the pollen is vulnerable to failure. The stars must align just right for success.

Interesting aroma coming out of Big Girl this evening. I was back inside the plant cleaning up some stuff. All the movement was causing her to get very aromatic. There’s a clear grape aroma with sweet berries and OG gas.

It was 12’ when it stopped stretching, but the tops are leaning over now, resting their weight on the trellis.

Basically-- any seed produced on a branch in a bag will be what you put in there-- any seeds you find outside the bag are that females ‘Mystery Mix’… still decent seeds- just won’t know who the Daddy is …but at least you have the list of candidates!!

This is the way. I haven’t shared out any mystery mix except to one member who specifically requested mystery male on known female. They’re in my stash if anyone wants.

Friend’s garden looking spectacular. Dream6 is entering the harvest window. He’s got good weather in the forecast for the next 2 weeks and no signs of rot/mold, so it will go to full ripeness on the vine.
