Pollination question

On my current grow, I have 5 LRD2 Fems and 1 LRD2 male.
22 days from seed in the pics below.
GH liquid nut's and hygrozyme currently at 750 ppm, will go up to 1000 ppm in a few days. The tallest 3 are at 12" and the other 3 at 9 to 10". Total growth will be between 18 and 24".
400w MH, just switched it over to the 400w HPS yesterday mainly to lower the heat, the HPS puts out lots less heat than the MH.
Have a 20" box fan and a Vick's humidifier, keeping the humidity at 40 to 50%. Res temps vary from 68 to 80 depending on how often I use frozen gel packs. PH stays steady at 5.8.
The male showed it's sex yesterday and the females have yet to show sex but will in a day or 2.
Yes, I intend to make seeds so I don't have to buy them expensive devils.

Accepting any comments and or ideas on how to proceed with the insemination of the females. I could just leave the male in with the females and let nature take it's course. But I don't want a million seeds just 50 or so.
I wonder how many I'd get if I just left the male in there the whole or partial grow. I don't have any other place to put it. Any ideas?
The lone male is the 1st pic the rest are the 5 fems.

you can always just pollinate them yourself..so the male in a seperate room..take the pollin on a qtip and put it on the hairs when you ready that way your not getting a shit laod of shits..but just in one area where you it..and im pretty sure hps run hotter than MH ..

Not mine, the hps keeps the room about 5○ cooler than the MH.

Thanks for the advice, I guess I'll have to do that. Just have to find a place to put it, can't let that many seeds form.

get rid of it 1 male will pollinate a big room n stunt all the females

i would tell you to take lots of clones from the male and a few from the female. Killl the male and keep only the healthiest male and female. Flower it early so it takes less time to get the seeds. Also, you wont get 1000 seeds! It would be easy to care for them and you put them anywhere with a couple cfls close to the small plants

HPS runs hotter, you're only running it for 12 hours which will keep average a little lower

You can just leave 1 stem from the male,cut off the rest.....

No they are low ryder dwarfs, autoflower, lights are at 20\4 thru the whole grow.

Now I like that answer, yes that would be better. Cut it down to one bud, not so much pollen then.

And to the other guy who suggested cloning, these are low ryder dwarf and supposedly can't be cloned.

hey dude after the male have shown its balls, cut the whole tree before the balls pop open and put it in a zip lock bag then put it in your freezer, this will keep your pods safe until your ready for them. you can keep it there for as long as you want, i have a male pollen in my freezer for about 3 months now and its still green. if want, put a small part of the plant in there first and see for your self.
