Iām okay with some natural pollination as long as the plants arenāt ridiculously seedy. Moving the tent or the plant away from the room isnāt an option unfortunately.
This is an end grow, my last for the next year at least.. likely for the next few years. I want seeds for the future to preserve some genetics. I only grow for myself and family, so even super seedy bud isnāt the end of the world.
I have been taking branches off the male already and hoping to minimize pollen as much as I can. Itās lollipopped and trained as if it were a female and has five main stems at the moment. I plan on trimming one branch every few days until thereās only 1-2 branches left. Hopefully Iām able to do this before any pollen sacs open.
A little about the ventilation; both tents form a vacuum inside them due to the inline fans in them. The air pulled out of the tents is pushed into a separate room from the grow room. The vents that are open on the tents are covered with a mesh screen(pollen can most certainly get in through the mesh) and are approximately 8 ft away from each other. The vents are located at the bottom of the tent and are about 5āx 8ā or so in size. I donāt know exact measurements.
I plan on chopping the male as soon as possible. I donāt mind seedy bud that much if it canāt be helped, I just want both hud and seeds. Hereās to hoping for good results. š¤·āāļøš¼
