Is it possible for a male bp to produce sperm plugs within 6 months?

I mean if he has reach 600-700 grams. And is it safe for a snake that young to be breeding? Just curious.

Yes. I had a pastel male successfully breed at six months and around 550g. Fertility was low, but it was productive. No pastels however.

...last year my 8 month old 720 gm pastel bred one female...3 of 6 eggs were good...2 female pastels and 1 normal...although one of the pastels was a runt from a partially-slugged egg and did not survive...hopefully my male mojave will do at least as well this year!!
