Well duh...how simple is that . smh
Hahahahaha....

I was worried you were gonna say that
Yeah,if I was trying to seed a whole plant,I'd just shake the male plant in the seed room...
This way is just much more clean for me,plus I don't care to take the male full term,as I'm going to grow out the seeds anyway..collect enough pollen in them lil vials,and have backup.

I'm glad you asked cus I was gonna do the same. @genuity do you have a small cab or tent or some place you grow the males? Do you freeze pollen too???
Smaller seed tent..after pollen is collected, and dry..it get color coded. ..and in to the fridge

Every now and then...I'll tap the pollen case,to shake up the pollen,to try and avoid clumps. ..

That's sweet...what's the self life of pollen stored as such ?

I grow males in the bathroom upstairs by the window 9 months of the year and 3 months of the year I grow them outside. no need for a separate tent, if I want more pollen I might put a light over the plant and move the plant to a closet upstairs with no fan and no air movement, but usually just a little natural light is enough to produce pollen.
