Growing out males

Can anyone give me any advice on any techniques to go males that may differ from how I treat my females? I have been feeding my males less than I do my females, and they are in a room with less light and no CO2 injection, but other than that I am using the same food and water.

Any advice? thanks RIU!

i'm also wondering how to assure that the pollen never reaches the female chamber, and how to make sure a female pollinated doesn't pollinate the other females?

once the female has been pollinated it will not pollinate other females. the only way it would do so is if you didnt clean off pollen good enough when you pollinate in the first place. when i pollinate a female i do individual buds with a small paint brush in a separate room from my grow area. twist tie on the branch that gets pollinated and before moving them back to the flower room with unpollinated females i will turn a general fan on high and stick the branches directly in front of and behind the fan for a minute or two, shaking them around a lot. afterwards move them back to the flower room and never have problems with unwanted seeds.

man how many seeds or you trying to get? I give no food to my males I just let them go by the window seal or in the summer outside and I cover them with a garbage can for them to get 12/12 but once male start budding you dont really have to worry about light schedule they will shoot pollen. male as far as you can from your females.

Males can be given the same general care with the exception , you should keep your N levels about the same as your P. And in regards to pollen collection just collect it up in a jar and use a paint brush or you can dip branches or even blow it on doesnt really matter how it gets on just make sure tour far away from you sensimilla crop like in a bathroom then let it settle about 30 minutea and spray the female down with water ph balanced and room temperatur, and soak her!! This will make the pollen non viable then shake her off and put her in front of a fan for a while to dry off fully. And there you go the plant should be fine to go back into. Your sensimilla room.
