Not sure on strain so timing is unknown I do have two males growing like crazy in a seperate room from my ladies of course...one has bursted so much polloen it almost looks like its covered in snow and the other has maybe 2-3 sacs busted...I see what looks like seeds but do they turn brown and marble on the plant or is it the same drying curing process as the females? really need to harvest these seeds and afraid I am screwing it up...any help would be great... have tried to research google just says tell the difference between male female I am past all that...there seems to be 0 info on getting males grown and seeded...thanks kindly in advance for any help

yes, thats exactly what you do. do some lower branches so you dont compromise the cola. the plant shouldnt hermi from pollination.

thanks dam...when I do this should I keep that female in the tent with the others? I can do some lower branches and keep them towards the back away from the strongest breeze of my fan...or take the one out and go from there? I am gonna research immensely before I get a swab going lol

Guys dont carry babies... women do... so there isn't a way I know of that allows you to "seed" a male.... What you can do is touch the pollen on the male plants, then touch the female buds... viola, you just impregnated a plant.. If you use the same strain male as well as female, you are just having a strain one generation old, so some properties may be more pronounced then in the mother and/or father. If you use two different strains, then you just made your own strain.. but back to the original question, I dont believe males will produce a seed that will grow another male plant naturally that is........ Females either actually, female plant growing a female only seeds that is. To get a feminized seed they spray something (Colloidal Silver or Rodelization) on the female plant which induces pregnancy, but since no males were used at all, the plant only knows female genetics, therefore can only produce females... and this is not common naturally..

it doesnt make sense to pollinate your female and keep it in the same flowering room as other females if you have somewhere else to put her. you run the risk of pollinating more plants than you wanted. just remove and pollinate. keep her separate since you have the room. and play it safe. goodluck
