You should take them out as soon as you find out that theyt are males. But take them out now if you don't want pollinated females!

Why do you wanna save the male plants? The only thing you will get from them is a headache. I understand if you wanna save the pollen and you can store pollen in a plastic baggie.. but just get the pollen now and ditch the male plant, it's no use after that..

fuckin throw those bitches away dude - they're worthless unless you want the pollen. if you do, take them out of the room and far away from your females, open the sacs, save some pollen and keep it in the freezer.

otherwise, get them the fuck outta the grow room man.

yeah - chop em now, put the sacks with the pollen into a baggie and put it in a freezer. I heard (but can't say for sure) that this is the best way to store pollen.

You could just take clones off of female plants, but if you want seeds then immediately take the males out of the room, harvest the pollen, and then apply the pollen on some bud sights of your female plants. If you are careful then you should have no problem with buds that you don't want pollinated getting pollinated. It is a good idea to pollinate only a few bud sights because buds will be bigger on unpollinated sights as they use more energy on producing THC and bud than on seeds.

Don't you guys understand? He's trying to harvest the pollen.
Yes, we understand that but we are just wondering why he is risking keeping them with the females instead of taking the plant out of the room and then getting the pollen. You don't need to wait for the pollen sacks to burst on their own to get the pollen.

pollen is no good after a couple of weeks, the fertility is reduced significantly after about a month in perfect conditions. Small glass jar or film container with a couple pieces of dry rice, and throw it in the fridge in the dark, tape the outside, but I wouldnt suggest it
Ive heard of cutting a slit in the side of a plastic cup, with a hole in the bottom, to collect the pollen.

I would just shake the male over the female you want pollinated, away from any potential sensi's, or burst the sacs, and paint brush the bottom half.
Either way, its probably not worth it, unless they're lowryders, or cross pollinating

those sacs will burst anytime, all you need is one with a fan, and seed town

You can store the whole pollen sac. It will be fine, just put it in the freezer to store it.. (in a jar or plastic baggie) and you will be fine if you use the paintbrush method and only pollinate as many bud sights as you need because you don't wanna pollinate some that you won't take seeds from. Good luck..
