Yes I ran a science project Thanksgiving time, had sprayed a feminized photo to flip her to create pollen sacs u then placed 4 girls in with him so he could do what needed to be done. Dried and collected the pollen sacs mixed with corn starch.

Thanks for the tag @TheAbu95
Yep, I do grow out males long enough to collect pollen. I usually do grow the females at the same time but will isolate the male.plant once it starts showing sex. Males will usually mature faster than females. Pollen collection for future use is best as @Bunger64 had remarked, keep it dry and store with something like cornstarch to help maintain and extend use. Once pollen gets wet it is inert and useless. Make sure you store it dry and in a cool place. Good luck!

Do you have a journal where you have talked about this too? Just looking to read what i can but im unsure when my plant will actually produce the pollen. Is collecting the pollen simple? Id like to assume i could snipe the pollen sack and store the whole thing?
And thank you for the help as well!

After finding purple stipes on the nanners, I was shocked to find this.

Cheat coded for visually challanged.
Actually, found two different plants with same single popped nanners.
I did collect pollen.
Fisrt batch dried well, stored and worked.
Second batch molded.
Female Auto only from now on.
Done had my fun.
