Please know that I am here to help and not annoy you, lol---If you have any females in any state and/or any males in any state, even if off by a day, make it happen. I've opened males on nights where I was just out there checking for ANYthing to use for ANything and regardless, even if it ain't happenin' in sync, tappity-tap on a male, I did, and pollen was VERY abundant via my spotlight.

I'll bet that 'after the fact' works, too. Hope this helps.

PS---If yer after controlled crosses, no, don't use cups or paper bags.
Remove the unopened males and keep them in the house overnight.
Nylon mesh baggies for females from not-yet-open to poll time
and Zip tie them shut until the flower falls off, or at least re-mesh-baggie them.
In your case, I'd do all/either/that for unopened males/females/unsures, lol, a day before.
Please forgive the preaching, here in Pumpkin Church, lol.
