So i just spoted 5 males out of 8-my luck, anyway i been wanting to cross something for a while so i gues nows my chance i have perpetual grows so keeping these guys is going to be hard,1st off how long should i let them ball up to get pollen? And i have both outdoor and indoor running ,could i leave it in my garage or leave it on the otherside of my house ?

Would leaving my males on the side of the house be bad if i have some on the otherside(to close to my females)?

I am also attempting to dabble in seed making so this thread is perfect, my thanks to the OP.
I have 1 male Green Lotus in 12/12 for 15 days now. He had/has a extremely strong smell from about week two of veg. His overall growth was in middle the 4 other males i got out of 11 seeds. His stretch into flower was shorter than I anticipated, clusters seem decent size ..all in all I am enjoying the other side of the plant.

STL: I wait until a couple pollen pods break, and then I harvest the plant; tapping each cola lightly against a glass sheet. Once I see that some pollen has dropped onto the lower leaves, I start thinking about harvesting. It's probably 5 weeks after 12/12 is initiated but I haven't been timing, I've just been looking and trying to time when the pollen sacs are mature and ready to open. GL

STL: Just do your best with not getting unwanted pollen on your other ladies. I've got my males in the same area as my females, my males have no fans in their cab and their is plenty of air movement in my flower cab. So far, I haven't seen any unwanted cross-pollination; even in those tight quarters. So.. I think it's all in how you handle your pollen and females; just be careful

Got a nice Sensi Jack male also. Think I might cross with Cotton Candy to make Cotton Cookies or THC Bomb. Both great females showing awesome traits.

pollen can travel for miles so i wouldnt risk putting males outdoors.. lol. males outdoors can contaminate all the sensi around.
Yea thats what ive heard, i just wasnt to sure, never been thru/exp this stage of growing, A buddy of mine a few years ago was upset about his harvest and blamed it on his (ranch over)neighbors(guess they had males)-i always thought that wasnt true lol, guess it was. I wouldve cried. Atleast he got some fire ogXpurple kush crosses haha

I was going to cross my male Green Lotus(Bodhi) to a OG Critical from (Emerald Triangle Seeds). The female leans towards Critical and the male leans towards Green Crack.
