Preserving a male for breeding

I have a white widow that has proven to be male after a few days in flower. I have removed him from the group but would like to preserve him for later breeding stock. If I put him back to 24 hrs/600W will he regress to veg until I am ready to put him into flower again to pollinate my choice of female?

he will go back to veg but consider that the stress you have put him under to flower and hten more stress going back to veg, well that might give you a male with lesser qualities you desire.

yeah he will go back into veg and be ready when u need him

just let him flower and collect the pollen for later use.

feva is correct just make sure the bananas dont pop on your ladies

Collecting the pollen is the way to go for sure, but if you do want to keep him around then he'll have no problem reverting back to veg. This is what you have to do if you get some seeds that aren't feminized, a lot of growers will prematurely throw everyone into flower to determine sex them remove the boys from the garden and revert back to veg

i sex all my plants when they're young, then reveg them to get them to the size i want. ive never had a problem, they go back into veg real nice. the male may open a few sacs though and drop some pollen, so you may want to pull the pollen sacs off.

Collect the pollen, store it in the fridge and brush it on the mother with a paint brush when needed
