Harvesting pollen.

Currently growing 4 plants. All are in veg. My question is this. If one becomes male, which I do hope for, how soon can I harvest pollen from it? I don't want to pollinate all my buds. Just a few so I can get some decent seeds for future grows. I currently don't have the money or space to start cloning so that is pretty much out of the question.

Just seperate the male from the others.
put it on a 12x12 scedule. It will flower , making balls. Once the male plant is mature the balls will open up and spew a powder out them. That is the pollen. I take a ball that is about to open up and tap in some tin foil and then take a q-tip and apply pollen on the buds you want to breed. Keep in mind that a 3 inch long bud can have 50 seeds in it so ya dnt need much.
