I have 3 female plants, and am interested in trying to use one of my males to pollinate just one of the females. How big does the male need to be to pollinate. And once the female is pollinated do I need to grow it separately from the remaining 2 females

The male plant is very strong, and has grown with very little effort, I dont use any plant foods at all just water.

My last male shot it wad two weeks after flipping light.
It was about a 16". Two days after pollination you can spray water to kill unused pollen. All the girls can stay together. Seeds will be ripe in about five weeks.

Keep it away from girls or you get too many seeds. Collect pollen in another room. Use tiny paint brush to pollinate select buds. Tie a string to the branch so you can easily find the seeds.

You can freeze the pollen to use when you are ready.

Usually after the first one pops, their will be alot open in just a few days. You can cut off a branch and put it in a vase with something under to collect pollen. Store in envelope inside a jar of rice and freeze it. I promise it works. Not sure how long it will last. My last batch the pollen had been frozen 4months.
