I have 2 confirmed males. 1 is very healthy and is my second best looking plant (1st is my female Xd). 2 is crappy, stretched, yellowing for the past 2 weeks and is not so good.

Would you guys/gals agree that I should kill the ugly yellow (browning on tips a bit) male and leave the good male for pollen?

Just want to make sure...

The question is do you want seeds or not? If not then kill, if so then let it live. The only purpose a male has is to pollinate so that is up to you.

Me I would keep the healthy strong one That way you will pass along those traits. Or you could keep the weak ugly sick looking one and pass along his traits.:rastasmoke: :rasta:

Sounds good man. That way you keep the strong plants good genes.

You have any pics of these plants? I'll look at your grow log.

Here are some pictures of the boys. You can tell the healthy from the weird one. I set aside the bad one as 2 pollen sacks burst already :wtf: and I don't want my little cute plant getting all pregnant style on me.

Mr Retardarded Plant is now enrolled in a science experiment! A sideways grow! I'm going to grow it sideways under CFLs and glass.

ive heard that with plants its not always the best to keep the first flowereing male (unless you are trying to get an earlier strain) if left alone in the wild to do what they do, eventually some good weed can get less potent by breeding for survival instead of helping it out and picking the best parents. you did right im sure.
