1248 Sundstrom Female.....that should about do it!! I like not having to close the flower to keep bugs out..the screen house is doing a great job keeping the bugs out. I use compressed air cans like for computor keys boards or blowing out electronics to give short little blasts to the flowers for getting the pollin in every nook and cranny. This works well if I pull a Tomato Bloom from one plant and cup it in my hands around a bloom I'm wanting to pollinate. Then I close my hand over the two, insert the tume from the air nozzle and give a few short plasts of air. I'll close a kin flower the same and insert the compressed air can tube and give a couple short blast with the male stamens inside like the pic here..works good. You can see how well the female is covered and don't close too tight on the flower with your hand..you'll blow the side out of it if your not careful,lol. Lecture over...
