Does the danger of being pollinated pass?

I had a plant that turned out male.
I whacked him off about 6” from the ground… he didn’t die. He has pollen sacks again.

I have 1 female that bloomed on June 26, right after the equinox. Is she still in danger of being ruined by the male next to her?

I know I can eliminate him again… but I’d like to let him grow and I don’t really care if I get a few seeds, I just don’t want to ruin my girl.

If there are while pistils then it can still be pollinated, now whether you have enough time to get viable seeds if a factor of how long the it takes for the buds to mature, you need about 30-40 days for viable seeds to form. Really depends on how many seeds you want, if the male flowers opened and dropped pollen, you'll get a few seeds. if you want more, leave the male there, if you don't, give him the habeus yankus!

When I wanted a "few" seeds I would grow a small male plant outside my greenhouse and in my case the plants would throw a few pistils at the nodes in early to mid May. I'd take the flowering male to the open door of the greenhouse tap it twice, and shut the door and throw male away. I'd normally get almost no seeds in the buds, but I'd get a handfull at the nodes, they were normally all fat and dark before the buds even matured.

Thanks, I think I’ll leave them be!

Maybe your ok with a few seeds in your bud but chances are your nieghbors are not. At least not all of them. Males belong inside and isolated. Collect your pollen and brush it where wanted. Dont let him go raping the fruits of others labor

I don’t know the origin of this, but this year marks the 7th generation being grown in my county, rural Virginia, about 900’ elevation.
I call it Where’s Waldo!
It blooms super early, I noticed it blooming just days after the equinox on June 26 and she’s about finished up! In the ground they grow about 8’ x 8’ with stomas the size of a large forearm!
