breeding question

[c0ryp1]

hi guys just got a quick question regarding pollinating a female plant.
do i start the male at 12/12 the same time as the female?or do I start the male wait for its sacks to pop then move the female to the tent?
will i ever beable to grow females in this tent again without them being pollinated?

You can start them both flowering at the same time but you will be contaminating the inside of the tent and the outside of the tent with pollen whenever you open it. You can clean it and mist it with a bleach solution to kill or remove almost all of the pollen. If you could isolate the male and collect the pollen you can use it for many crosses in a more controlled manner.

i think youd be better off starting the female a couple of weeks before the male, you want a lot of pistils to get pollinated and a female pollinated too early could yield very little seeds. also remember to remove the male and then wait 40 days for the seeds to fully mature, if you dont remove the male youll end up with immature seeds you have to separate from the viable ones
