Male?

I have 4 outdoor plants in 15-20 gallon pots. They are beginning to flower and I’m pretty sure one is a male. I moved it inside and I’m going to destroy it but I want to keep pollen so I can pollinate a piece of one of the other plants. So I cut this piece and put it in a zip lock bag. I’m going to get rid of the rest of the plant. This is the most developed pollen sacks on the plant. The rest are tiny. Would I be able to tell if it opened and let pollen out? They all started flowering about 8 days ago. I’m concerned that the other plants could be pollinated. Also can I get pollen out of the piece I cut and stored in the zip lock? I’m new to this so any feedback would be great. First time I’ve actually grown and I’m hooked. The rest of the pics below are other branches on the male plant.

You got a while to go before any pollen will come out of that plant. That branch won’t produce any if you cut it off.

Thank you. I feel much better now lol. I’m thinking that I should just destroy it and not try to get any pollen since this is my first grow. I need to walk before I run. I just wanted to mix 3 King’s with purple passion.

Yeah I understand. First grow I recommend just trying to get a nice product! Breeding requires a separate space to contain pollen. There is always going to be plenty of nice new crosses and strains to get excited about mixing.
