So, (I think) I found another male; what not to do...

The last one I found I immediately trashed before I thought about harvesting seeds. I could save $50 next year by having my own. So now that I have another male, I haven't a clue what to do to safely keep it and not affect my girls. The plant is only about 2-3 weeks old, but I swear it looks like I have balls on it. You tell me. Any advice is appreciated!

Depending on where you live and the weather you can put it outdoors away from your garden of ladies.
Just water it and keep it alive in another part of the yard and it'll be okay? Are 50 yards far enough away? I am growing outside anyway. Do I treat him like the girls with nutes or anything or just water?

The wind can easily pollinate your ladies at 50 yards away.

Not if your ladies are outside. The wind will fuck her and next thing you know they are all pregnant by the same dude. lol
 
Can you put him inside someplace? One plant won't take up that much space. Just make sure you clean up between looking in on him and going near your other plants.
 
I've put mine into an open top box in the bathroom and it's getting 12/12 anyway by natural light, just waiting for the pollen to drop and try to collect and store or use

Thanks! Good thing I checked here first because I was just clearing a space at the back of the garden to plant it so that I wouldn't have to check on him so often. Kinda let him grow wild. I have some mounds that I prepped for next year's vegetable crop by digging down and layering compost and good soil and covering with mulch. I was gonna cover it all again with newspaper, then hay to "cook" the ground for the winter. Hell, our winters are so mild here in south Texas that I could prolly grow another crop of weed. Anyway, I guess I can bring him in.
