Has anyone done this? I have some sensi grows under my belt now and now I'm experimenting with seed breeding. I have a bunch of different bag seeds I veged for only 2 weeks, then flipped it to flower. It's 2 weeks into flower and now showing sex. I have 3 males, a herm and 2 females. I'm trying to see if I can get some seeds. Is there anything different I need to do vs. growing for sensi buds? I'm just going to keep the males in the box, use my 5-30-5 food, let the fans blow the pollen around, and keep it in flower for 8-9 weeks. Sound good? Any advice would be great. This is just a practice round, in case I want to do more serious breeding. Thanks!
 
Yes you can, does just fine. I would not leave the males in the box the whole time, especially if pollen bothers you like it does me in the early spring. You will have pollen everywhere, everything will be covered with a yellow layer of dust. I suggest to grow the male until he starts popping open and then you help him along some and get rid of it. Or you can selectively pollinate a section of the plant and still get a good yield, if your careful enough. Just depends on how many seeds you want.
 
i think you should look into pollinating sections of a plant rather than leaving 3 males in there spreading pollen all over the show! u will be shocked at how many seeds there will be...
