Guy's say I had 4 male plants in the same tent, would the pollen be cross contaminated by the other male plants? so if you used them for seeding would the male pollen sacks be the intended strain? :unsure:

The sacs that hadn't opened will still contain their desiganted pollen. The stray pollen won't alter the genetic footprint of other plants or anything but if they were all dumping all over each other you could have stray pollen here and there.

As long as you separated each plants ballsacks before the majority opened up, they should be right. The sepal leaves do a decent job of keeping it all in its place until they open up, show their nanners and blow/dump everywhere.

I've grown a few males in one tent. Always just pulled them before they opened up voluntarily and dried then out for an easy collection.

I've had one male open up before the others and spew all over the other two, but a dunk in water will neutralise the stray pollen, and the pollen in the closed sacs will be undamaged after you hang it to dry for a bit to collect.

Sounds like a plan, thanks mate :cool: (y)
