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.

I do something similar. I will start them in the same room as my flowering females, and move them upstairs before they start to open. This way they get a good start, and i have an idea of how they are structure wise. Once upstairs there is just a little natural light, so growth slows down, but its still enough to keep them going and collect pollen. Definitely risky starting them with the girls, you have to be on top of them checking frequently, but it works for me.

thats what I do, should have mentioned, I have a set of weak lights in the flower room that I use to sex my plants, by the time I move the male upstairs it already has tiny balls, so only have to wait 10-20 days for pollen. Any female gets topped and goes back in the veg room.

Depending on size and yield of the genetics and pheno them males can drops loads of pollen I'm sure gen collects plenty in a sitting. I know I did lol. I'm glad he spoke about the storage life of it too in the fridge always heard it was good for only a few weeks in fridge and have to freeze to get the 6 months at least

when do you dust up your girls gen? approx 3wks into bloom? ive found that if the girls are dusted up before the buds are a decent size with only a few pistils showing they will not reap such a large amount of beans than if they are left to flower for about 3wks - 4wks before being 'introduced'?
