Collecting Pollen and making seeds

so I got my first male plant and I wanna make some seeds. how old should the male be before I pop those sacks and collect the pollen? right now its inside my box with other flowering females so I dont want it to pollinate all of the flowering plants. how long should it take until its ripe enough to collect pollen but young enough so it wont pollinate the females on its own?

after I collect the pollen, how old should the flowering females be before I start applying the pollen on the flowers?

thanks guys.

you had best separate that male from the hens, male flowers can ripen on very short notice and begin spewing pollen
you should see a tinge of yellow on the roosters when they're ready to pop, at that point just tap them with your finger and pollen should fall out

thanks for the answer. unfortunately I dont have another grow space for the male, but luckily this isnt my main growing space, I have a bigger grow, so if there are any casualties its only 4-5 small plants in 1 liter bottles including the two I was planning to pollinate.

anyway, how long in 12/12 should the flowering plant be when I apply the pollen?

a male doesn't really need much light, i've 'finished' males just by having them next to a window
i've even seen posts where some have finished them in a dark room
from memory, should be at least 2 weeks of flower, probably 3 would be better

male when balls about to seperate i collect them
pluck them seperatly one at a time watching closly
twice a day during that time
once rien all to follow sumtimes one at a time

i find i easyer this way
then i put in a pill container to finsh dry - opened
at dry flowers open an i dump into a sft and shake em up -da dada - shakem up

females
watch pistils grow once stop growin
then get a little fatter
once bud is say tip of yo thum like 3 weeks in
wit mature pistils can hit em up
dust the gals nose for them

dont brush against pistils very delicat
you dont want to harm or kill thm befor they do their job
they carry the sperm to the overy wher the seed begins to grow
then they start to die off

but if you knock the girl up- then kill her before she has child no seed to be born

so walk wit dis - be carful -hold over tap shake down -got it
