This is a B-52 plant and is male after 10 days of Flowering stage....I see many many ball sacks (acorn shaped nuts)...I need to know following:

1. Can I re-use the old soil in its 5 gallon container for my next planting?
--what must be done to purge the soild of any traces or reminants of its former resident brother before they pop and pollinate the air space?
--this is organic soil with lots of nutes, bat guano, fish emulsion etc...so I want to obviously recylce it.

2. Did the heat stress turn it into a male or hermie?

--I see no traces of white female hairs, so i doubt its a Hermie...ball sacks everywhere...I count 18-24 budding nodes loaded with ball sacks in adbundance...no wonder its called B-52.

--during its early veg. phase it suffered from high temps 90-95 (or 32-34 celcius) for a few weeks back in October because of that 400 watt HPS being too close..switch to 20,000 lumen CFL long bulbs and got temps down to 80-85..and its much better (70-75 Fahrenheit) at night...its a small utlity hot water heater closet with minimal ventilation..can not ventilate more due to obvious security reasons...but one benefit is it keep humidity higher which is good and wamer as winter now sets in on WEST COAST of US (north SD county)

[B]3. How far EXACTLY must this MALE B-52 plant be kept to prevent it from pollinatiung the next planting in the hot water heater growth closet?[/B]

--I must obviously move it inside the condo.

--I may want to gather some seeds form this plant since its extremely healthy, bushy and massive in size (3 feet vertically). Should I?

4. Can I take it inside apartment and let it sit in a corner and just let ambient natural light take its time and finish its flowering at its own pace?
--remember NORTH San Diego county (WEST COAST US) has ample sun light year round--most probbaly in NORTH AMERICA--and its dry and its 10/14 on/off natually at this winter time of year..at least for the next 3 months..which should be enough to finish the FLOWERING stage

I ordered from seed bank new FEMINZED NIRVANA-MAYA seeds which are suppose to be better able to handle heat stress and easier for novice indoor growers like myself...I wont talke a chance on a male again since I lost 3 months to this disaster and I plan to grow ONLY one plant anyway for my personal recreational use and NOT distribution..so ONE is enough in every sense of the word for me.

I have to grow indoors inside this hot water heater closet for obvious security reasons in a condo complex despite having probably the best growing conditions in the world just outside on my rear patio...1 mile from the beach BTW..so air flow is amazing.
