I have three girls in late flower at the moment.. but I have an Ata Tundra male that I want the pollen from. So i cut all his top foliage off, and closed him up in a baggy (just the top part). I change the baggy once a day, OUTSIDE of the box of course.. plausible? I change it in the morning because when the light comes on the temp change causes tons of condensation on the inside.. fresh baggy and all is well again for another day

Been 5 days hes been in his baggy, still growing.. few sacks getting close to popping open i think.. only need a few

Well now i read a post of uncle ben's and i think hes saying that parts of the plant OTHER than the little balls give off some pollen too.. if thats the case thats BAD news.. hope im not already pollinating :(

Anyone able to clarify that?
 
I'd be vary careful, pollen is a real tricky bastard sometimes. You'll more than likely end up with some on the pot, on your clothes/hands. Good news if you are that far into flower, it shouldn't matter. I have an LA Woman I want to try and cross with a skunk. LA Skunky woman...

Only the pollen sacks shed pollen.
 
I'm predicting that if you leave that male in there you are going to get seeds.

Pollen is a clever little fellow isn't he?

someone should try a sealed mini greenhouse with a couple small fans and some hepa filters.

this is what I will be building when I'm ready.. A small plexy glass enclosure with a fan pulling the air outside the room and a hole at the top with a filter. He can still flower but he is in solitary confinement...

That or I will just make a small CFL cab that can hold one or 2 males.. we'll see what kinda room I have and where it is..

No thats why i had this idea.. my veg chamber (pc case) is way to small for him.. I'm 100% stealth and maxed out in space :(

Ive been watching my girls and him very carefully, no signs of pollination.. the only spot that pollen could escape is where the two clips are, and even then its a very small space. I have high hopes!
 
why dont you just take him outta the room snip his balls and put the pollen in the fridge till your ready to shoot it on the girls face !?!!

LMAO...Thats great!
I have a plant that is a little slow to mature so I am holding off to see. I do have a question tho...how far along before the male "releases" the pollen? That and I have a small cab that I think that I would be able to use to keep a male in. Is there a major benefit to keeping the males besides the pollen?
 
Nope!! thats all we are good for !! pump n dump!! LOL actually if you grow a few males and selct the one with short internodes and good growing characteristics...i.e; resistant to diseases/healthy you can breed him with a strong woman and get strong kids as well!!
