i have returned to this thread fully intending to finish my reply.....but Rusty has already covered everything i would say so i bide thee a fair ado ....until the next OWT...

ok so here is an OWT that has not been mentioned " if your plant only has 5 fingered leaves on it than its going to be male"
is this true?

and that males produce enough thc to get you high or make hash with?

Nope. Not true at all.

Yes, but you risk pollinating your ladies, which will cost you dearly in yield. The only time you'll want a male to mature, is when you're going to collect his pollen for making seeds.

Would a male plant be worth growing all the way out if it's all you got at the time?
I Couldn't recognize preflowers-so I just let them grow.
Started 12/12 2weeks ago...damn sure know what I got now.
So far they're the prettiest and hardyist plants I've ever grown and I am real reluctant to just yank them...BOO HOO!
I might shoulda posted this in a new thread but all the great heads are here on this one...If it's bad manners,please pardon my dumbness.

Why? Unless you're going to grind the leaves to make hash or hash oil a male plants serves no purpose other then to fertilize the females, hopefully none of your neighbors are growing.

No worry it's in the appropriate place, Skihigh.:thumbsup:

(Allows the killing of another OWT.)
Male plants have been given a bad rap by them Old Wives.

Here's the real skinny from actual research and from personal experience.

Males have very few visible stralked/capitate trichomes.
So they yield very little bubble hash.

But, good strains do contain >1% THC. and can be used for canni-butter.

Male leaf can also be smoked, if it's all you have.

It's every bit as harsh tasting as female fan leaf though.
If you carefully dry and cure the smaller and tops leaf, it will help, but it's still never gonna be a, "wonderful, may I have some more please", kine sing.:)

I'd cut off the nuts as fast as they form. That might keep him growing while you smoke his eyebrows. (the growing tips have a higher concentration).

As always, there will be naysayers, (because they heard somewhere . . .). :D

So, I'd appreciate it if you would get back to us with the results of your bio-assay.:cool:

Aloha and enjoy,
Weezard

ah yes another OWT is if your plant it producing 9 finger leaves than it will be a hermie? im leaning towards no same as the one about the 5 finger ones haha

oh and another one that has not been mentioned

my buds are done when the white hairs turn brown?
