How long until male flowers open after 12/12 flip?

RIU,

Help me out. If growing in hydro after the 12/12 flip I understand it takes about 6-12 days to determine sex. But how long does it take for male flowers to develop and drop pollen? The reason I ask is the I'm not sure if a female plant is trying to grow male flowers. I know this is rare if grown in proper conditions but I don't wanna risk getting my ladies prego. If anyone has any legit advice please reply.

A picture is worth a thousand words. If you're not going to show us some decent pictures you've got a lot more writing to do.

I appreciate the response but I'm still new to RIU and trying to figure it out. Honestly you can barely see anything with the naked eye. I had to use a scope 60X to see them. The tops have nice white pistils coming from the upside down teardrops but the lower nodes just look funny to me. I guess I was just wondering because I can't post decent pics yet in general how long can a male stay in the female flower room. I swear using trusted clones is much easier but everybody's gotta start somewhere right.

3-4 weeks will get you in the ball park. The male takes as long to flower as the female takes to pre-flower. so about 3,4,5 weeks.

On average about 3 weeks or so.

Thx topfuel and krypto. If I could give you rep I would but I don't see the little star on the screen. Maybe I'm still too new to do so.
