Collecting pollen

If I have a male clone that has shown sex, can I put him in a veg cycle and get pollen from it still, or does it have to stay in flowering. And will any of the balls bust early (before a female should be ready) When do they normally bust?

you can definitely keep him in veg, but just like a female, he will grow preflowers that will open and release pollen. the amount of pollen produced would be much much greater in flowering, with potentially thousands of the little guys opening and dusting everything.

they will generally swell up in size quite a bit, but it seems that the only way to tell that the majority is about to open is that a few of them pop just a bit earlier. the males will flower continuously as well, so even if the pollen starts dropping earlier than you'd like, you will still have more than enough a few more weeks down the line.
