What if I left a male with a female? What would I get? Would the female still bud but also have seeds?
Thanks

ye sthat is right... she will have seeds in her buds...aprox. 50-60% of ur weight and energy will go ta the seeds.. along with most ur thc..BUT yes u can.
Thats what I thought. I may do this in one area with two plants, just to be able to harvest some seeds.Quote:

Make sure to keep them away from the rest of your girls! You could just harvest some pollen from the male(and then kill it) :eek: and pollinate some of the buds, that way you have some seeds and still save most of the buds. :D Just get a small paint brush and paint some pollen on some buds, usually best to do the lower buds so you don't get as much drift or drop. ;) Just my .02Quote:

IMHO, I'd wait until you're 3 or 4 weeks into flowering cycle.
And you need to let the seeds sit for a few weeks after harvesting them before you germ them. I'd like to hear some other opinions, since I've only done it a few times and always the same way.
when the pollen appears, put a piece of newspaper or similar under the plant to gather as it falls. take a paint brush and 'paint' the areas you want to have seeds and it'll cut the saturation a bit. some will still float around, especially with fans running but you can minimize the amount by separating and painting. it only takes a very small amount for a shitload of seeds...
they're ready for pollinating as soon as you have both pollen and flowers.
Thanks guys.
