Flowering a male w/out regulation???

[NOKUY]

Ok ...I have a cabinet that I use just for real young clones, and young seed plants, and keeping males (not all at the same time) (70 watt hps and floros).

I have a cpl boys in there now @ 10 days flower

well I need to use the cab for some other projects, and was thinking I could just keep the male out in the living room until I can collect pollen. (away from the girls, as I'm being selective w/ polination)

would it do any harm at this stage of the game to do that...he would not get any kind of regulated temp. or light. schedule. (temps in the 60's and lights off about 6 - 8 hrs a day...no sunlight)...or i could put him in a box and close it up 12 hrs...and leave it open by a window for 12 hrs.

I dont have room for another cab, and there is no room in the flower cab. (i wouldent put him in there anyway)

so...what do you guys think?

If the male is already flowering it will carry on if you just put it on a windowledge(if its discreet obviously) Ive collected pollen like this several times., what ive done is to let the male start to flower, then once the pods are about to open and"Rear up" as they do, i take a couple of nice branches with planty of balls o and cut it, and put that in a glass of water on the windowsill in the same way as if i took a cutting to sex a plant. Just put aluminium foil under it to catch the pollen. What you said about moving it to box for 12 hours a day would work too.

Actually you can flower a male and then after he starts forming pollen sacs you can put him back in a veg room. He will continue to flower but slower, but slow is good because your just collecting pollen. This is the way I do it so you don't have to worry about any accidental pollination leaving them in the flower room too long.
