Timing is everything. Usually when the plant smells its strongest it is ready for pollen. I sometimes put the pollen on before it smells by opening the flower early. You can also save pollen I would store it dry in a refrigerator for about 3 months and a freezer for maybe a year. I keep the pollen in test tubes. Here is a pic of us using refrigerated pollen.
