Not Growing Commercially - is pollination an issue?

[Farmer Rich]

once pollinated the plant will concentrate on seed production over anything else. if extracts are your goal then you want that plant to form buds and cover them in trichomes as heavily as possible ....so no males.... yank em.
if you really want to keep them then find another place to put them but you might want to get a tyvek suit or 2. just going in and out of the room can transfer pollen on your clothes, hair etc.

This is definitely right.. I do think the weed is still good, maybe in a Mexican from the 70's way, so a BUNCH of seeds. I had a hermaphrodite Amnesia Haze pollinate the entire room once and it was bad, pretty much like a mentioned. If you're doing extractions from your bud, I'd definitely get rid of the male/hermi.

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
