no, buds are the female reproductive organs (in nature, they are designed to serve as vessels to house the seeds once pollinated). Since the male reproductive organs are pollen sacks and not buds, they cannot produce smokable product. Think of it as when u smoke weed, you are smoking the "womb" or "placentia" or "pussy". Furthermore, male plants naturally produce very low thc levels. That is, any trichomes which might be on the plant.
yeah...What he said...
So I should just kill these bastards and start again. It just seems pointless to grow unless you have feminized seeds or you are growing hydro. with clones.
...why would it be pointless to grow....kill the male plants keep the female plants.....
are you saying its pointless to grow unless its hydro? hahaQuote:

What I meant was it pointless to use these certain seeds since I am not sure of the sex, cause I have been out good seeds and cant afford any due my work injury. It sure is pretty interesting growing indoor. I think the thing I meant about hydro is I think thats the way I want to grow when I move and get back on my feet(literally). I have 2 400w hps lights and a couple videos on setting up hydro, I have seen a couple diff. ways. I just need to get a hold of some good female seeds.
My boys looked so good.

The idea is love them all, and when you sex, keep the females and finsish them....
Pointless???
You don't need good seeds if you are just starting out! You can get decent bud from decent bagseed if you treat it right. I'm pretty sure that is how the majority of people start.Quote:

Once you get your method down then sell someone an ounce of your bagseed buds and invest that money in in some real genetics! Problem solved!
I wish you kids would read a book.
Growing MJ is time consuming and many people realize (after their first grow) that is is not worth the time and effort to grow shwag...
That being said... many people have great SEEDS that still end up being male..
cheers
If you can not provide the right environment for your plants.
Don't bother.
Okay. I am just pissy because of the males. I am starting to germinate two diff. bag seeds that I have. They are nice and big seeds. Supposed to have sum goods seeds in the mail. Hopefully they don't get gaffled.
I guess I shouldn't have used pointless. No one really liked that word I used.Hahaha. I think the only thing for me to do is to keep trying and trying till I get a few indoor grows under my belt and hope for sum females sometime, sell the bud and buy sum good ass buds and hope for sum seeds. Pot out here is so damn expensive. $100 for a quarter of KB(kindBud).
How much do you think it will cost me to set up hydro if I already have 2 400w hps lights? I have a video, but I dont know if it is that informative on the details. I also have 4 100w cfls I can use for my clones when I get around to it.
If anyone has any helpful links or videos that are downloadable(free) that can help me out for my hydro project let me know.
u can get lucky and get a fem. from bagseed. And it would be very worth it once you take the clones and keep em goin, thus producing excellent quality personal buds. NOT POINTLESS, but it is a burn if all you get is a male/s.
If u get males, you get pissed when u fnd out they are nothing but a waste. If u get a fem, keep it going with clones and dont lose it. You will get the point then.
Thats what I am thinking ToknoIsToGro. I am going to try one more time to grow with out cloning because I cannot afford the little amount of supplies to start my cloning spree. ZI have been reading and watching stuff that explains it. These forums and ICMAG's forums help me understand alot! Really. Has anyone tried water curing before? They say it clears the chlorophyll out and it isn't as harsh for personal smoking.
you can build a diy bubble cloner. Total cost, approx $11
Potential Payoff, many times more. Do as many as you can, thus increasing your chances of scoring with a fem.
Your always going to end up with a chance of a male
plant when growing from seeds its nature pure and
simple. If you are doing this indoors make sure to
sterilize you grow room if the males sexed and created
pollen sacs you will have a chance of pollinating any females
grown in that room. Its best to have a separate room for
sexing to keep from contaminating your grow room with
male pollen.
I recommend getting a light and set up a room for pollination. If you get more than one female and you get a male or a few males take the male plant in the room and take a female in the room and get your self some seeds. I plan on doing this also, it's way useful instead of wasting a good plant and the money you spent on bringing the shit up. You should especially try to benefit from what you get if you paid for the seeds.Quote:
