Cut down a male today...

Growing two plants in the same pot, the big one recently turned out to be female :D whereas the smaller one is male. I cut the male one out at soil level, but there is obviously still an extensive root system and stem still below the soil, do i need to do anything about this? is there anything i can do to help my surviving plant take advantage of the increased space?

Also, if i dry then freeze the leaves of the male plant will this make hash??

Iv hung it up to dry cos i didnt know what else to do with it...

the photo is slightly out of date...

hi misty,

i dont know about the roots, they will rot and become compost, but they might stop the roots of ya female growing freely, maybe sum1 else can help

regarding the hash, ur meant to freeze it to help the extraction of the trichomes, but it aint as simple as just freezing it, although it aint hard to make. God bless copy n paste

The blender method for making hash

Put water in a blender. Add a large handful of leaves, stems, seeds and weak weed. Put it in 3 or 4 ice cubes and blend it for 3-4 minutes or so. Just make sure everything is chopped very finely. Second, you will need a gold reusable coffee filter (or 90-line silk screen). Get a large mouth quart mason jar, and strain your Slurpee mixture through it. Once you have strained all the liquid through, run some more water through the leaf material to wash any extra trichomes through.

After a few minutes you will notice a white collection at the bottom of the jar, this is the trichomes. Let the trichomes settle at the bottom for about 20-30 minutes. Next, pour off the top 2/3's of the filtered green water, leaving the settled trichomes at the bottom. Add more ice water to get the green stuff out, and let the trichomes settle at the bottom for about 20 minutes again. Repeat this step one more time. Pour off as much water as you can without pouring off trichomes, filter the resulting trichome/water mix through a paper coffee filter. The trichomes will not go through the paper, but the water will. When all the water has gone through, slightly wet, cold, mass of trichomes will be left. They will be easy to handle and to press.

Throw in the trash or fireplace or oven and let him return to the ashes from which he came and which we all shall return to :)
