I’ve never done this, just been reading a lot lol.
But for traits like color at maturity, you’ll have to keep the males around till they are done blooming too. As those colors prob won’t show till mid-late flower. Also gives you a better idea on what that male has to offer in the flower structure and development, or bloom time. I’ve seen pics of male plants that had fat looking colas, but were all ball sacs 
. Won’t see that if you ditched after collecting the first pollen drop.

Right on. Yes I agree, I don’t intend to ditch them when pollen drops…we will see, really appreciate the insight on this

Granted, if you have a female of the color you want, continuing it as a fem line will be the easiest if you don’t have a red male too. Self a Red female, find at least two red S1 (which I see as technically F2), then reverse one and have it pollenate others to make F3.

Sounds like the plan now, if the situation presents itself. Thank you for the knowledge @Seamonkey84

@TricomaGoldGenetics , is there a way to tell females from males based on structure, for say the large cabbage leaves are males and skinny leaves indicate females?
Here they are,… they are getting some cal mag. But other than that just water… growing good getting good structure in these plants.
