Thanks for your help. The cutting is in my window, I've already removed the rest of the plant. I've been looking around and I found a guy that dos the same thing for his pollen. It seems that if the male plant is far enough into flowering the sacks will open in a last ditch effort to spread pollen. He doesn't even keep the cutting on 12/12, though I'll continue to. It's not rooting, but the sacs appear about to open. He just cuts a hole in a plastic cup to fit the stem through(to catch the pollen), then puts the stem in a glass of water and voila. Says he's been doing it for years and it takes up less space than keeping a whole plant separated from the pack.
the86thcreator Reviewed by the86thcreator on . Clone Question... I want to save pollen from a male to paint on some pistils later so I don't have my whole crop seeded. My question is if I take a cutting from a flowering male without open flowers and keep it under 12/12 indoors will it continue to flower though it's a cutting? I know cloning during flowering is a no-no, but I have no interest in it rooting or living long term, just long enough to give me some pollen. Will it work? I already have the cutting, it's doing fine in plan water that I will change Rating: 5
