Is it safe to place a male back into your grow once it has begun to flower out and is in the process of forming seed pockets? Wondering if it has any way to damage my girls once in flower itself? Want to share the fatter light with it is why I even consider moving it while it finishes producing me a bag full of seed.

Might seem dumb but I can't find anything on the subject at a glance.

Thank you to all who read and help.

I'm not sure I understand you exactly but-

The seeds form on the female plant after pollination by the male plant.

If you want to make seeds best to pollinate fairly early during flowering. Seeds produced as a result of later pollination may not have time to mature enough to be viable.
However repollinating later won't harm the first lot of seeds.

Hope that helps .

I am feeling very dumb right now. Wondering what we got going on. Now Herm crosses my mind. Am I right in my assumption that if there are seeds forming among slow developing flowers that it is a herm? If so then I still wonder if it is safe once in flower to put a plant that has seeds forming on it in with my girls to benefit from the stronger light or is there a chance that even in flower it can hurt the females. Forgive my dumbness - a guy like me reads a book by Jorge and thinks himself a grower. Right about now I am thinking myself dumb! Any help is welcome.

Depends where the pollen came from. Do you only have female plants?
I was thinking you had deliberately pollinated a plant to make seeds?

More info would help (especially pictures).

I havn't read Cervantes' book but I have watched his videos- they're very informative.

so from what i read your trying to get seeds for the next couple grows, FG was right where you would generally bring a male into the room once the girls are flowering, then ive seen in videos the people shake the male plant over their girls, then the male is removed and the girls produce seeds. hermi's are involuntary, mostly brought on by stress. light leaks can also cause hermis.

so out of the seeds your germ. you got a male.... usually unless your going to pollinate, you toss the males or keep em PG style and make hash lil shout out for pham girl.

If a plant has both the little white hairs and balls hanging down it is indeed a herm.
If it has balls that don't hang down it's probably a seed pod.

you usually need a minimum of 30-35 days for seeds to develop properly.
