well if its 10 days into flower I might bump it up to 2% chance it could be female (from.way less than 1, haha) A lot of my vigorous males have already formed a second or 3rd ball on the bunch of grapes if they are 10 days in. Most have shown more than yours, but Im talking about a cpl specific strains I've started from seed alot, and they were fast finishing indicas. I would never tell someone what to do with their plans or at least I will try not to unless I'm really stoned and forget, But I will say that I don't think they are physically capable of releasing pollen until the size where you can definitely identify them as male, they haven't gone through puberty yet haha. That being said what I do in that spot is to check every node of the suspect plants every day because they can mature in different areas of the same plant at different speeds of course. Also the little tiny thing I found that works is to backlight them (the nodes) with a flashlight or something it seems like I'm able to see the hair better or notice it sooner.

There is almost no such thing as far enough away.
When those pollen sacs pop you will have enough pollen floating in the air to wreck 100 acres of plants.
A light breeze can carry pollen up to 50 miles.

If you really want the pollen, then you need to take a bunch of steps.
I know a breeder but he's not on this forum.
It takes a lot to do breeding without wasting your smoke crop.

At minimum you will need a male room with door seals. (Tents are too porus)
I think he uses flour or talcum powder to mix with the pollen (it dies within a couple of days unless you preserve it somehow)
It's a complicated setup, and even he has lost a harvest to stray pollen.

Plants less then a month old about 24 days. Plants are xtremely healthy imo. This is less then a quarter of whole root system. Just cause note very root is a half inch thick doesn't mean it is week. Same plant 1 hour ago. It's in happy frog and clay stones
