How to seperate roots?

[Bangabong]

Hi all! First time poster here at 420. I am in my first full blown DWC hydro grow, and I have a question about removing males from my grow. I recently switched to 12/12 lighting and one of my plants is a male and needs to be removed. The plants have very large healthy roots, but they have become so intertwined that I am unable to remove the male plant. I have cut out all of the branches on the male plant just leaving a short stalk that is attached to a large root ball. How do I remove the root ball without damaging the other plants roots?

Bummer 227 views and not one suggestion or recommendation. I am a little surprised to say the least. Think I will just leave the stalks with a few leaves so they will not die and make the roots rot, and contaminate the other roots.....unless someone has a better suggestion B>}

You can't without causing severe stress to your ladies. That's why no one wanted to answer.
I like your idea, I seriously doubt anyone has a better solution than that. Keep an eye out for male flowers though.
Don't want to let your dro turn into shwag. Lol.
Keep 'em green!

Thanks for your reply LordofDanknis, it is appreciated. I did this grow with some seeds that I found stashed in an old medicine bottle. Evidently I saved them about 8 to 10 years ago. Since I was waiting on some seeds to arrive and I was impatient to begin my new adventures with DWC hydro growing, I germinated them and walla I have 4 huge ladies over taking my grow closet. I have bent and tied the tops so many times it looks like modern sculpture. Thanks!
