Hello I'm not that new to growing flowers but I am new to trying to flower males with females to try and get more seeds out of my flowers. Because I only had 4 and 2 where males and 2 where females so I left only 1 male and now it has popped and there is white powder on both females. But my question is how long do I leave the male with the females to get seeds out of them

you should collect the pollen that falls in a little cup or something... swab the pollen with a q-tip and gently rub it on the feme parts...just helps insure polenation

I have never TRIED to get seeds, but from past experience I'd say you've got a very good start. Another thing you could try is placing a fan under the males facing up. The air flow will blow pollen all over the place once the pollen sacs open. If you decide later to grow flowers without seed (sinsemilla) the area will need to be sterilized before hand. G'luck.

If there is white powder from the males on the females, the females have already been pollinated and yoo don't need the males any longer.
