Collecting my Pollen

SO My space bomb males showed preflowers about 3-4 weeks ago so I stuck em outside. Some of the pollen sacks look like there popping, not really sure though as this is my first time collecting pollen. I heard to look for the flowers coming out of the sacks (bananas?). Anyway here's some pics, if you think they're ready to be plucked let me know, please.

Thanks fellow RIU members.

if you see yellow dust after you tap one, that's the pollen you want if you want to store it, the trick is to get it dry i tap it on some absorbant paper(cheap tablet paper),and put inside a selaed container with dry rice let sit a room temp for a day, into the fridge for another day, and then the freezer

Not seeing much pollen, if any. The plants are turning yellowish white, definately is rootbound, not feeling up to transplanting today. Soil is provably runnin out of nutes.

nale plants have very few needs
do they grow outside in your state
males outside ca reak havock
can produce pollen even cut off in a glass
on top of a sheet of glass or a mirror and just let fall

collecting is a time eater must collect balls before the flowers open and release
and the pollen takes to the wind to knock up the neighbors plants
to do dis much watch for a while miss a few to learn the process of whut they do
stem on pod grows hangs down then pod swells and turns striped then walla
you want to pluck B4 it opens collect in a pill container or sumtine let dry i shakem up with a coin or nuts and bolts or sumtine
seperate vegatation from pollen shake through a sift and walla got poll wit a little pieces of green in it green must dry before store
green wont hurt

other way just drop all yellow no green plant matter
