Not Growing Commercially - is pollination an issue?

Well, I see your point, but yesterday I pan-fried a handful of leaves and got no upset stomach, and nice slow buzz. Still waiting on today's activity. Yesterday's were a mix of male and female, that's why I asked.

But since I'm not planning to sell any of this crop, and am planning to juice most of it (for medicinal reasons)- need I be overly concerned with some of the techniques discussed here, such as males pollinating the females? I know that sensemilla females are the most potent, since the plant doesn't put energy into seed creation. But I'm also not looking for top bang for my buck. My 8 plants are Rating: 5

as long as you cook it well the cystolith hairs will soften. but yeah not much there to work with buzz wise.

I'm going to prune later this week, and eat some female leaves again. Want to make sure I didn't imagine the buzz. (But I know i didn't. I wasn't even expecting one, and 2 hours later.... wow.) :smokin:

Btw, today's male plant leaves did zilch, if anyone besides me is keeping score.

Pseudo-Scientific Leave Eating Study Part 1 concluded: the male leaves have NO psychoactive effect, not even the small tops.

Next up, the female leaves that - I SWEAR on my parent's graves - gave me a buzz. Stay tuned.

Can you imagine me getting hit by a truck, and the autopsy shows all these MJ leaves in my gut? They conclude that I must have had a "marijuana acid trip" and walked out in front of a truck. :stoned: Which is ridiculous. I walk out in front of trucks all the time, and I'm not always stoned.

Wow.... tough room.

I did read once, I think in an Ed Rosenthall book, that the male flowers are quite potent before they open. Never tried them myself but if you still have the males and have some young sacs give em a try.

Damn, NOW you tell me.

Have saved special males in separate location, saved pollen for breeding program, froze the pollen, stayed viable.
