Stupid Male Plant...

[pipeman]

males have been known to pollinate females from different cupboards in different rooms of a house.

 

put a pollen filter on the exhaust of your cupboard with a male. and maybe even a pollen filter on intake of your flowering females. Never visit your females after being in same room with males. Or if you do, have a shower and change your clothes first.

is it a good looking plant? the male that is... if so take some pollen im not sure if it can be stored but nothing like having a nice filled out male plant and u come across an awesome female down the track than u can pollenate one or two branches on the female and have your own strain

Either cull the male or move it literally miles away. Once they start to shed pollen it moves on the wind and can pollinate a lot of individual females...

 

My advice is cull it.

 

Pollen can be stored in deep freeze I think, like nitrogen deep freeze, and it will remain viable, (I think) but past a few months or even less if the conditions aren't amenable it will not be fertile anymore.

 

Don't bother saving the male, it's more trouble than it's worth. Good luck zell, don't give up, think of it this way, you've flowered your first cannabis plant.

Make sure when you do move it to put a large bag over it to stop the pollen from blowing off,and don't go near your other plant again untill you are changed and showered just in case it is a girl.

I just measured the male plants its 42 cm high

Im pretty sure my other plant is female which is great :: still not sure what to do with the male plant tho. How do you know when its giving off pollen?

Kill it now. As soon as a single flower opens the pollen is released and will attach to anything near it. It's so fine it's like dust.

 

Refer to previous post.

Get rid of the thing asap, if you don't want to waste it then you can use it to make butter or oil or if you are really desperate you could smoke it. ::
