I think that would be an awesome idea! I might make a new cabinet for some breeding. About the males, Im seeing finite balls, but I wouldnt think of killing them until Im positive.
How long do I have before the pollen is mature enough to spread and fertilize? Roughly, I know it depends on a few factors.
The white pistils are now poking through on 2!!!!!

you will see the balls start to open up, once that happens generally the pollen is mature enough (at least that's my understanding)

you may be better off collecting pollen and doing a artificial style breeding rather than letting the males go full open, a baggie and Q tip or small paint brush is all you need to have more control and the pollen is so small you would be surprised how far it reaches.

if the sack is open pollen has already been released ...........
the sacks swell and burst and when they do that shit goes and gets everywhere ........

they don't really burst they just open and allow the pollen to float into the air. All they are is little flowers filled with Stamen. they are dry inside and when the flower opens the airflow (even if you don't have a fan going there is still airflow that will carry the pollen) takes the pollen into the air..hopefully it lands on a pistil. when it does WHALLLA plan porno without protection.

Short: Pollen doesn't spread all that much Long: I've got 1-5 males, growing in a refrigerator box, a foot off the ground; and it's 4 feet away from a flower chamber. I Rarely get any stray seeds. There's no fan in the male/refrige box since they are only there for a few weeks (to mature pollen). But the pollen simply falls onto the lower leaves and I take them upstairs to pollinate other plants in another bedroom. No biggie.

Also, I agree w/ everything RetiredMatthebrute said, esp. about isolated pollination using Q-tips.

I killed off all the definite males except 1. I put him in his own box under 55w. I got 2 feminized Sour Turbo Diesel and 5 powerplants. Im gonna start them this week, and breed a few branches later on
