Cut the top off the male with the pollen sacks. Place it in a cup of water. Tilt the cup at an angle so the pollen will be released on a plate when its ready to drop it. It shouldn't take more than 2-3 days.
I wouldn't go about slicing anything open. When its ready it will open.
Are you planning on using the pollen to cross the strain back into itself? Just curious because you are asking how long its good for. IDK the shelf life, but you should keep it in a sealed bag/container. I put silica pks in with my seeds and pollen. Keep it cool, dry, and in a dark location.
