No mature males, need to breed!

So I have one older plant that is on week 3-4 of flowering. It was a bagseed from schwag so idk what it is. But, it has very good traits, fast grower, early budder, hardy and the bud is fucking purple. All of my other plants are vegging, and are all less than a foot tall, so they are not going to preflower for a while. Is there a deadline to pollinate bud? I would say the buds have at least 6 weeks before harvest, i will prob have male flowers in the next month. If I cant get pollen in time, is there anywhere or anyone that could sell me pollen? I really have never had a plant like this, I want to preserve it! thanks.

sounds like a pretty good strain. if you ever get pollen id be interested in trying it out. if you live in ohio i could give you pollen

You should be able to get your own pollen due in the next few weeks, on some preflowers, I like to hang/lean a male on a mirror, and scrap up the pollen in the morning ...will work here, keep an eye on your night time temps ...too cold is purple buds too

Right now the night temps are staying above 72 degrees. The day temps are around 85. When the temps drop a lil in September or October will the buds turn even more purple? Or will it have been harvested before temps are cool enough?

GA huh...? when temps drop ...if they get more purple I'm right, if not, then it is a genetic trait and you are right, ..just stay sharp with some Neem Oil close by ..ready for that mold and bud rot, after a heavy rain..?

You're getting purple flowers in GA already?

have you thought about cloning it and revegging ?

This right here OP. If you can't manage to get pollen anyways. Just leave the first node and reveg it.
How old is the plant? Shouldn't be flowering outdoors yet unless you threw it outside after vegging indoors or something with many more light hours than there is outside.

Started it outdoors in April. I would clone it and reveg, but I dont have an indoor setup, would it not just continue to flower after cloning? Also, I have tried on 3 occasions to clone via rooting powder and all where failures.

Well you said you didn't have an indoor setup. But you'd just have to up the light hours inside so it'll kick back into veg. 18 - 24 hours usually gets a fast result. I've had em flower early putting them outside and they revegged with just the natural increasing sunlight hours.
But you can reveg with a Cfl as long as they had enough hours.
There's always the tried and true method of putting it in a cup of water.
Or build a cheao DIY bubble cloner. There was a tutorial posted here a few days ago that ran 20$ after everything was said and done.

Just chop it and submerge the stem in water. Change the water out every few days. You'll need to get a light on it to veg hours. Water method is grandma cloning. It's been done with MJ and I've seen my grandma do it 100 times and my mom still does it to this day with her roses and stuff. Takes a bit longer but it works.
Go to Taco Bell and grab a plastic drink cup (the cardboard cups will get funky eventually) Slide the stem through the straw hole and then have at it.

I did what you guys suggested, only I added a little rooting powder to the water and put a bag with a few holes in it over the top to keep it humid. I don't want any shit in my house so I put it under a bush outside.
