Light poisoning

Oooh, well that might be hard and might be easy.

You need seeds from a non fem plant that you know are of the same strain, you said you have seeds but are they from the same strain. probally.

they will be all sorts of different phenotypes.

Grow em out select the best mom you like and the best dad.

Put em in the same room when flower time comes, and viola.
or you can grow the males seperatly collect pollen and pollinate the females either fully or you can try to do just one branch which is difficult.

then you will make seeds with male DNA passed down as well.

well once my seeds are old enough to take clones off of all the plants I start from seeds are gonna be parents till I find out what parent is the best, I know that the seeds are from the same strain because I ordered the seeds from a awsome seed bank does the male or female mature faster? and how could I collect polin in the same area that I'm gonna be getting buds from? (the 2 diffrent areas are on the other side of the room)

Males tend to be more spindly and grow bigger.

And you cannot, repeat CANNOT collect pollen in the same room as a female.

In fact a good rule to follow is pollen is like a virus that kills females being within a 100 mile radius.

Pollen from a male that was outside my house once got on my clothes when I didnt even come near it, and pollinated a whole bunch of ladies.

Pollen is black death and should be collected, the clothes disposed of like a murder scene, and stored with sterile lab like conditions.

well the area I'm gonna be using is gonna be pretty much air tight except for the air filter and all fans will be turned off juring the collecting

thats not gonna matter, if a male is in the same room as a female during flowering, ie the time when males develop pollen sacks and the female develop buds.

I can gurantee every single one of your plants are gonna seed up.

many just put the male in a different room next to a window or something, and collect a substantial amount of pollen then kill the male plant and save your pollen.

this is a one time thing and the male should not be kept alive.

Literally no matter how airtight you think you have it, it will not matter. Dont say I didnt warn you.

I just want the male for the polin and as soon as its done I'm cleaning the area

Dont say I didnt warn you!

just put it in another room near a window seal if possible for its light, I will feel much safer. You dont need a monster male just a little one with a few pollen sacks.
PRETTY PLEASE?

I'm gonna collect enough polin from every male plant I have and save it and do a seed harvest, I'll never have a flowering male at the same time as a flowering female if I want her for buds, if anything I'll invest into some plexy glass and do a sealed box, I can't quite take the male to a diffrent room though so I know what the risks are and I'm willing to take them since I do what a few seed harvests but its gonna be a while till I can do it

the pollen will drift and stick in everything including carpet, walls, so when you switch to a flowering female session the pollen will still be there an innoc you fems, in fact it could become a constant thing and make growing in that room almost impossible.

Even in a plexi box, you would need fans to bring in air to the plant and air out in which the pollen would would just go righ out, an same problem.

Unless you got a room like will smith in I am Legend with the closeable glass doors an shit with seperate ventable air system, good luck.

so wut would the seeds be if left to flower too long?

still feminized? ive been trying to figure out how to grow my own hashberry seeds. but i only have females.

i dont wanna use the spray on chemicals. ive been leaning towards light poisoning. but i still get nervous about pollinating females somewhere else in the house.

Ive never heard the term light poisoning but what itll yield is a hermaphrodite (which does have some male parts - what it seems you need right now).

Clones' genetic material do degrade over time but not significantly enough to warrant always starting from seed.
