Would this work to flower males in the girls room
my filters on hvac So got a vent in the wall i could get 2 corrugated sheets and make a greenhouse in front of the filter and a gap at the bottom to allow air to pass in

in theory this will stop pollen in the flower rooom ?

how els can I flower a male with no room lol D49C5E6A-82F0-41DA-B68E-62C30D8F59B6.jpeg

When you have very little space and still need pollen from a male, the best solution I've seen is a filtered grow box with a clear front. Though you'll get none of the UV you would want you'll still get pollen. :)

Take a tub as large as the space you're willing to use. Cut a huge rectangle in the lid and epoxy/silicone a glass or clear plastic panel across it. Cut holes for filtered intakes and filtered exhaust fans. Take it outside the room for watering and such. Open and water the plant, then mist the outside completely before returning it to the flower room. ;)

If you don't want to pollinate, why flower a male?
Because he needs the light to flower the male!? ;) I'm doing the same right now, i just want to pollinate 1 or 2 plants of 4 respectively only a few branches... So i need the light for the male too but he should not spread his pollen across the grow room with the ladies.

Need the pollen and they too need 12/12
Didn’t say I don’t wanna pollinate I just want 100seeds and weed not 10,0000 and no weed I have a big grow room I only need a small batch of seed
Get your male a flop house, which was intended for the garage. It goes without saying that you would need extra gear. That is what I was doing before the fire. As I wanted to cross Harle Tsu with AC/DC to make Ringo's gift (extremely hard to find beans).

Post #6 is supported as that is what I intended to do.

You can also leave the male in the same room, you have to be alert, and when you see that it has started to bloom, cut some branches and take them to a bathroom, they will finish blooming and the pollen will be very little. You can prune all the male, leaving only the parts that you want to flower, so you control it more easily.

Flower the male 2 weeks before the females. You'll only pollinate preflowers, job done?
Except for pollen clean up before the main flowers begin forming. Pollen control blows... (pun intended). lol

@kaboom777 That's the method I use with both indoor and outdoor pollen collection. I pick off the 'ready to pop' balls for almost a week until the full branch is covered with striped footballs ready to pop. :)

Don’t they need the same flower time like 9 week ?

Take the male to another room like the bathroom. I filter the air going into my tents, so some pollen in the house air isn’t gonna hurt. All you need from that male is pollen, so they can have less than perfect conditions. 10.5 hours on will speed the process.
