OK so BG:
Year in grower and I decided to give myself another task - sort my own seeds out!
Acquired some colloidal silver and treated a single cola of Godberry to it following usual prescribed details.

About 15 days into flower my cola starts producing pollen sacs, small for sure but they're baws for sure.

Now, here is where I done fuked up.

Because I wanted to keep the rest of my Godberry for bud and since, my understanding is 5-6 weeks are needed for seeds to mature, time meant this is not going to be my seed mother, so I needed to separate the male parts: I also have 6 other girls at varying stages in my perp grow.
So I clipped the cola after 7 days of growth (my ass was making buttons whilebit was in there!) and have moved it out of the space (& into coco).

And here is where I am struggling...

I have immature pollen sacks in what is in essense a 'monster cropped' clone...
How best to ensure I can reap viable pollen?

Should I treat it like a plant (for feed/light cycles) or clone.

My thinking is if I reveg like a clone, it will revert to female (no history of hermie and I could be wrong in which case I'm sorted!?!?) or should I continue to keep it in 12/12 and hope feeding coco daily with bloom feed will keep it 'growing'...?

I don't mind losing it as I have enough cs for 3 more tries which I have clones currently baking for the express purpose (whole small plants from now on!) But given that it's sat in my window sill (see pic) hanging on after a couple of rough days for 'him', I want to keep if possible, even if it means revegging.

But don't want to be wasting time on pollen sacs if they will never likely mature.

Thanks for any insights, pointers or advice...

You'd be better off sticking it in water and hoping the sacs mature and produce viable pollen. I always use 2 small plants/clones. Reverse one and pollinate the other.

Hey X' yeah I got that covered for next attempt but hoping someone else jumped before they looked, even a cautionary tale.
Cheers
