currently have male that is opening and releasing pollen, is it ok to just cut of pods and store it inside film container until females are ready, have not even started females on 12/12 yet, just not sure if taking whole pod and storing this way is ok
that is fine, as long as the pollen stays viable. whats the gap btwn pollen collection/beginning of flower? you should be ok. get the pods, let them dry out, collect the pollen, do work.
