Is a 2x4 big enough to hold a few males? Does light intensity affect the quality or amount of pollen sacs?
2x4 big enough?

I would guess but it doesn't matter. They usually make enough to pollinate 1000+ females, it seems.

I guess my concern is them rubbing together and cross contaminating. I guess if you are taking it straight from the sac it wouldn't matter much. Trying to talk myself into another tent. LOL

Definitely need a new tent. By the way, I think I need a new one too, same size lol.

No!! Do not get a new tent!
You're going to want to put on an addition.
Somewheres in the 6K sq ft range.

Yeah, it's big enough for 3 decent sized males in my experience. I don't give them a fan for obvious reasons. Only an exhaust one with its own hepa filter system so as not to spread pollen everywhere.
Could do way more small ones at a time though, just keep them from mingling.
Pull out of the tent to collect pollen, not taking any from elsewhere except straight from the branches. I snip off all the good branches to remove elsewhere for collection.
I do that separately for each male, making sure to water spray after the collection of what I want/need then remove said male for a hose down and disposal.
Or use individual totes in the tent to keep them even more isolated, see in @Schwaggy P 's thread.
The light intensity will affect the amount of pollen sacs, but not their quality. A little goes a long ways IME, so unless you want a shit ton of pollen and a huge plant, lower light is plenty. Lol.
