Questions Male Lemon Tree

Good afternoon folks.
I have a fem lemon tree that is among my other females showing preflowers that is starting to grow some hairy balls. It must be removed and I'm like like 11 days into flip.

Options I have are to compost it or try and move this to a temporary location to havest pollen.

My temporary location is a wooden box that only has about 28" of height for pot and plant. My LT is 38" tall with plastic container included. Can i just chop all the tall stuff and leave the lowers to try and let it go until the pollen can be harvested? Would the stress lower the quality of the pollen and make bad crosses in the future? The temporary environment is also not as controllable as where the tent is located now. Itll be like going from a newly paved road to a bumpy ass dirt road. Oh and still got like 10-14 days of stretch I'm guessing.

Disappointed the LT appears to be completely male, no preflowers anywhere, but I want to make the most of it. I was thinking this morning maybe best to grab a clone and put it in the auto tent until i can get those completed, probably 15-40 days left. I gotta stop having everything I pop be a different strain.

I appreciate all the information provided to the community by Percy's, always consuming the information in some way.

Enjoy your day.

@mmmbacon Are you 100% sure its male mate? Can we see some pics?

Im 100% sure, just checked again and there are no preflowers forming. Im a little paranoid about taking pictures on my phone and the camera is not great. Is there a secure way to do it?

I have plucked the little jokers off for all of flower when i ran some bag seed that was hermaphrodite a couple of runs ago before i switched to buying seeds. After that strain and two runs I took the leap and bought good genetics and did mostly all fems to save myself the trouble of males. I have 5 others flipped on the same day that are all fems,blue dream, strawberry cough, critical kush, and two sour diesels  they all have pistils and looking good.

So the plant was not male, a day ago i spotted pistils. She hermed on me, it was in the corner where a nonoscillating fan was at and i believe that is what provoked it, stretch grew tops of the thing right in front of the fan and that's where the majority of the balls were located. To the compost it goes.

All I can say is if you keep him just be prepared have your flowers pollinated. Without a proper sterile environment  It is so easy to forget to wash up and change your clothes . Also Companion pets can carry it to your plants.

@philmebowls Thank you for the heads up, if it is in a different building altogether and no pets go into either space would that still be an issue?

It would be good to see a pik so we can be sure mate, the balls you're seeing might just be calyxes

@macky it's too late, i have already chopped. I did verify with a loupe and bright ass light to make sure my eyes were seeing right. I thank you though.
