Hey, I have an idea I wanna know if anyone has tried. I recently collected pollen from a male I had isolated. After finishing, I shoved him into a white 5 gallon bucket and shut the lid before taking it outside. I went to shower and then forgot about it, for 2 weeks. I saw the bucket today, and went to add it to the compost pile. The male was fine. Temps had gotten down to the high 30‘s*F and low 40’s at night. He had continued to flower inside his lidded home and didn’t look bad, just cramped and bent. The root mass was still wet because the lid kept the moisture inside. There were tons of flowers that had fallen, and some pollen inside.
So, where am I going with this? Would it be theoretically possible to keep a male in the grow room, and let it go for a few days under 12/12 where it’s flowering but no sacs have opened yet. Then stick it in a bucket with a lid to let it continue to flower for a few days and safely drop some pollen, without pollinating your other plants. You can then remove the bucket and go outside to collect the pollen and dispose of the plant. If this worked, you would not needing a separate tent to collect pollen and breed.
