Pollen should be active when the sacs swell and begin to open up..then the pollen will drop.Ok thanks to all the input i didn’t get. I’ve rushed and isolated it. I can’t chance the whole 4x8. Showing more clearly in last 8 hrs. Hopefully someone will help me on what to do here. It is a strong plant and a ( dj short blueberry x spacedawg )= xbj16.
Other problem is my isolation area is stuck on 24 hr light until 30 days in on flower. It is sealed and exhausted directly outside.
Still no idea on when pollen will be active.
As said before hoping for experienced input.
Depends on the airflow in the house..intakes, vents, etc..That shit gets everywhere..!Ok so I can run a lower light level that’s good to know.opens other areas. Never thought of it but your right I don’t see a reason to blast a male with lighting. My isolation room is full of clones right now. Not flowering. I put him in there temporarily it has exhaust straight to outside. I’ll move today. He’s gonna get few extra hours light just because I’m at work n can’t move him yet.
If I keep a negative airflow in the males room and exhaust outside what’s the possibility of pollenating a tent on opposite side of house indoors ? Only inlet for air to room is the ac. Window ac. Otherwise sealed.
And don’t snip branches til it’s mature right? Or can I take branches like a clone to limit the amount of pollen available n toss the rest?
I would take males away as soon as the sacs show..Remember, you can keep males alive with bare minimum lights etc.how soon would I have to worry about pollen? The sacs only started showing couple days ago. N just flipped to 12/12 few days before that.
Is anything in jeopardy now is my main concern?
I’m having issues with isolating. I have clones in the sealed room that exhaust outside with the male right now. These are not flowering but I’m afraid pollen getting on leaves and being active when they do flower. (In about 25 days )
But isn’t pollen no good at first? Like not able to pollinate or shooting duds until the male is matured some.
I’m just worrying cause I don’t get a lot of time to fix stuff around work n family. Might be few days before I can come up with a solid spot. Sealed with filtered exhaust straight outside and a light.
Ok I now have plant in a tube. Yup I said a tube. I took 4x10 sheet of wall protection plastic. Made a cylinder about 4 ft around put in its own room by window for lighting. Just letting natural light schedule. And exhausted straight outside. Basically I built like a reflective tube and it’s inside it. And enough airflow going out that everything goes out. Nothing blowing on plant though. Still temporary til I get sealed room set. It was quick free way to get it off my clones.I would take males away as soon as the sacs show..Remember, you can keep males alive with bare minimum lights etc.
You will be amazed at how fast they get moving..!! They are gonna get ready faster than the females so as to be ready pollinate them when they ARE ready.
Take every precaution as you have females near..YES..pollen will get everywhere and those fans have just enough sticky to keep the pollen on them..I think that if the pollen is yellow..it is ripe and ready to go
Picture? That sound pretty COOL! :smoking:Ok I now have plant in a tube. Yup I said a tube. I took 4x10 sheet of wall protection plastic.

It’s not nothing fancy. Looks darker in pic. This from above tube and plant sitting on bucket. Just for couple days. The entire bedroom being exhausted outside. It’s just in unused bedroom but has lot of stuff in it so whole room can’t be converted. Other side of house too. I might need more light though. Or better reflection fan is right next to tube blowing out window. Just a double fan rig. But creates good negative air at bedroom door. Plant looks little pissed though probably from the 24 hr lighting with clones. I’ll move it n put a little bulb in there maybe. I can drop it another 15 inches just by removing empty bucket under it. Don’t want to spend time on temp spot though gotta get clones moved out the isolation spot.Picture? That sound pretty COOL! :smoking:

I’m in process of emptying the little 3.5x3.5 sealed room full of clones. I have that exhausted straight out and pretty much dialed in for growing things. I have actual hospital hepa filter sheets like 24x24 I’ll cut down n filter every intake and the exhaust too. We use mainly if working in operating rooms and the or area period. Should filter pretty good. I thought it be useful when a box was being thrown away on a job.I built an isolation chamber with pollen filters on intake and outtake and a 140mm PC fan for air circulation

Hell..I am too lazy (but that is a killer setup) to build anything like that..SOoooI bought a 4x6x6 to keep males and turned females in (a different room across the house with a forced air Dyson Hepa filter blowing back against the tent...Never needed vents as yet (let em suffer..LOL). So far, so good!:cool:
NOW..How do you water inside that thing? LOL
Yeah we’re they freebies ? I haven’t seen for sale. I got the xbj16 as freebies. Says it’s dj short blueberry f4 male and spacedawg female cross. That’s what I’m looking for is the fruity funk. I have 1 more popped I only popped 2 of the 5 freebies1 of my 5 xbj16s was a female and has around 4-5 weeks of flower left,she is a stacker and has a nice fruity aroma,hope your male helps produce some nice beans for you in the future.
