Quick question on males and females on an indoor grow

Listen close please, I am a few weeks into flowering on an indoor grow , I know your not supposed to have more than one plant in a pot but I do and can't do much about it now, heres the question one is a female pistils all over, and the other in the same pot is a male with pollen sacks, will it hurt the female for me to pull the male out? they are in the same pot so their roots may be tangled together, could I just cut the male at the stalk and would that be alright? what should I do in this situation? hope to get an answer soon because I do not want my sacks to burst impregnating my female of the species, lol.
thanks

Cut a soil level, handle the male carefully.

cutting could lead to root rot, and if they are in fact tangled, which they are more or less actually intertwined, then yea root rot could b a problem, i was wondering this myself as i just tossed a couple seeds into one pot because i have no room for two more, already have two 46" plants in seperate pots in my closet with a 600watt hps, but only room for one more pot. im interested in a good answer for this, because the only thing i can think of doing is clipping all male reproductive growth (all the pollen sacs) as it first arives, and keep doing so up until the harvest of a female (hopefully they r both female tho lol, they are only about a week or two old, but are under a 150watt hps for now(lookin great so far))

so unless my answer is the only outcome, which i doubt it is, i guess just consider this a bump lol

I agree that it could cause problems to leave the roots in. It did work for me. I had 3 plants in 1 pot and 2 ended up as males, I cut them at the soil and the last one finished just fine. Good luck!!

so would clipping the male sacks off instead of the whole plant be a better solution? this is the only male its in a pot with a female but I also have 5 other females in pots right next to it, so if the pollen busts it can pollinate all those juicy womens, should I cut out the seed pot stems, or chop at the stalk? I am wary to chop at the stalk because of possible root rot in the remaining female in the pot. I'd almost rather let it get seeds than lose it cause its a big one with tons and tons of pistils and the calyxes are starting to swell

Could I get a few more suggestions before this thread dies out please?

Cut the male @ ground level - I've done it lots of times & never experienced any problems.
I routinely grow two plants per 4 gallon bucket & if one shows balls he gets the ax !
If you start trying to clip male flowers & miss just one you could be in for seeds.

ok thanks, thats the answer I'm looking for then, I just got my nutes in the mail today, from jr peters some flowering nutes blossom booster 10-30-20. I dosed the plants with about 1/4 teaspoon and they are on thier dark cycle for 12 hours, so in the morning I chop down a tree.
appreciate it!
