....when you saw that you had a male plant you just left it there with the females? Would the females still be as potent but just have seeds? Or when she was polenated would the buds stop growing? Or what.

Your yield would drop like a rock. When the female is isolated from the males it releases all of it's sticky resin glands in a last ditch attempt to find a mate. This what gives your plant fat buds. If on the other hand you allowed your male to release it's pollen onto the female plant she has no need to grow fat buds because reproduction is in process to make seeds. You'll still have some bud, but it will be full of seeds.
If you keep the male in a different place and grew it out. You could harvest the pollen and only pollinate one or two of the lower buds for seeds and the rest of the plant will not have seeds.
I didn't know that Zandor... When I get lowryder plants I'll definitly have to do that... I won't want to run out of lowryder seeds now would I?

Very true, I guess he would have come back and asked how to harvest and pollinate later but you are 100% correct.
That's a clever idea, you get the best of both worlds doing it that way.
