Seeds energy and potency

[ncnavguy]

Real basic question here, I know that seperating the males from the fems is a good thing so you don't end up with a seedy crop. What I'm wondering is will a pollinated crop be less potent than a sensimillia harvest of the same genetics. IE: would the plant be less potent because it has to use more energy to create the seeds, or is sex separation simply for the convienance of not having to pick the seeds out of the bud?


Thanx

The resin production will be almost identical, but you will have plant energy redirected to seed mass rather than bud mass.
So kill your males as soon as they show.

cool thanks for the reply stinky, murdered my males a while back as that seemed to be accepted practice but you've helped me to know why.
