Hmong, I often bring a male indoors just before it starts to drop pollen. I sit it in my bathtub near a window until the outdoor girls are ready. After a couple of weeks they often start doing the same as your male. In my case it seems to be related to the fact that the boys are not getting enough light.
This hit a bit too close to home. My PCK#9 has been doing almost the same thing. I usually bring a small branch inside and put it in a glass to safely collect pollen. Yeah. That didn't exactly work with PCK. He kept dropping all his sacks, dry to the bone. Outside, he managed to open them, but without success.

#5 is doing great, though! Looks like she's going to yield quite good, too.

Pollinated by Helvetia Haze (Erdpurt x Green Haze)

@squatty that's a nice technique! If you got too little light, ever thought about installing a desk lamp with a small horticulture LED bulb? (like 20W fullsprectrum)
I also ripe & harvest my pollen at the window, just cutting the tops, wrapping em in tinfoil and freshing em in water.
A few hrs of direct sunlight in the morning turned out to be plenty enough for mine to finish.
I assume this one is just a dud, as there was plenty of light in the growtent and it's the only one doing this.

My mutant phenos are looking much more like real plants. They have been quite trouble free once they began to put on size. Here at 45 North, they began flowering on Aug. 25 at 13:42 hours of sunlight.

PCK may nowadays be a bite slow, but she definitely makes up in the trichome department. I can't wait to see how the runts turn out. I'll be here eating my heart out incase they perform better than the more elegant siblings
PCK #5 is starting to build some strong fundaments. Classic berry-citrusy PCK aromas going on. The Helvetia Haze x PCK seeds are definitely going to be bonkers!

PCK #9 is very ornamental, but I've some doubts on his virility. I'll try collecting as many pollen sacks as possible and concentrate the few grains they seem to release sporadically.

Blimey, I'd pay a fortune for that pollen.
At least i've got this young, citrusy PCK, ready to rock

... medium and small plants could also be so much fun, it's easier to pet them too.

The last couple of years I've been keeping my plants below my fence height by using smaller pots. It takes a bit more diligence during the hot summer days but it has been working out so far. The smallest PCK has gotten some incredible purple colors even since these last pictures. I'll keep updating.
PCK #5. It's been raining non-stop for weeks and there is no single botrytis or mould spot. Sweet, vanillish, berryish aromas

This is the final week for PCK. Vanilla and sourness increasing each day!

Great looking female @Theorganicguy Classic purple PCK look and traits! Glad she is finishing without a hint of mold despite being ripening with rains. Very few hashplant indica lines have such mold resistance like PCK does, that's one of the reasons (effects too) we prefer to cross sativas with PCK rather than with Afghanis. So the male open its flowers but didn't throw pollen ?
@Hmong Great to know you did a PCK repro of your own selection and that you managed to collect pollen from several males to make an open pollination from the male side. Hope you also produced some interesting hybrids as well.
@squatty i'm very sorry to hear your PCK batch have had such stunt growth
I send you a pm to offer you a replacement. Glad some are finally catching up and flowering, the small female looks promising and good yielding for its size despite its delayed growth.
@afghan thanks for joining the PCK party! Will be interesting to learn how PCK performs at your northern climate and latitude.

Yes Sir, this time I've made the following:
Baglung Nepal x PCK f1
G13 x PCK f1
G13-Haze/Shoreline x PCK f1
Unknown Bagseed x PCK
we will see how good the stored pollen still is, in a month or so.
had cuts of all the stable males, but the extra pollen during reveg was too annoying, so I killed em all.
Still have cuts of the females, one green pheno has great sour apple candy smell and good yield.
gonna make mothers and play with those a little more.
overall nice PCK, still 50% green phenos in the line.
Panama clones next, soon to be flowered, just need to transplant and send!
being only 2 hands is tricky at times, too many plants for a one man show, but rows are thinning out fast now, with males separated. Many more heirlooms currently in reproduction.
