Males/Hermies? When is pollen released - and smoking the male pollen sacks? (PHOTOS)

[Rusty Trichome]

SWIM got some plants he is unsure if are hermies or males. He is posting photos here. His main question is, at what stage into flowering do the males/hermies release their pollen? They are now somewhere over 2 weeks into flowering and the sacks have just started appearing.

Takes two or 3 weeks for the pollen sacks to form and mature. (yes, you have an acute case of hermaphrodism)

ALSO, a friend of SWIM told him that he cuts off the pollen sacks of males and hermies, dries them, and smokes them on their own and say that this is a very potent smoke.

Anything to that?

The THC (the active ingredient that provides cannabis' effects) is in the trichomes, not the pollen. So no, there's nothing to it.

I'd start looking for another seed vendor, or somehow find a better bagseed. The plants you have now will never fill-in, and the little bit of filling-in it does, will be mostly unusable seeds.
