Need info on male plants and pollen

[VegasWinner]

The pollen sacks open at different times.

Right before it is ready to release pollen it will look like a bunch of bananas.

The pollen can easily travel a few miles.

If growing indoors or green house they make pollen filters.

If needing a male I recommend isolating them if possible and let them flower just like a female. Use smell, structure, flower time, etc help you decode which one to use.

You can freeze pollen and keep it for a while also.

I have a male with flowers opening. I touched an open flower and saw pollen fall twice. I got a plastic zip lock and tapped it again and it dropped more pollen in the bag. I put baggie in freezer. Plan on collecting and using it on his sister next week a prolific yielder BOG Sour Boggle. Can I do this daily for five or seven days and then strap the baggie to his sisters branch/branches with a twist tie and wait for results after a few days?

What I have done in the past with males who are a safe distance from female plants is to cut all the shoots off and collect the pollen from them. The plant will grow new shoots and you can do it again.

When you use the pollen, just dust the limbs or buds you want to be seeded. Don't leave the bag over the branch.

damn i thought they were like the flowers all done at one time

That isn't always the case. More times than not in my experience, the flowers mature in succession.

Multiple sets of pollan to fertilize the individual flowers produced over the 2 month or so, if not longer, flowering period.

Here is some pollen I froze about a month ago. I just used some yesterday.
I use the paintbrush to rub pollen on selected bud
