males will not produce pollen until their sacs are full which happens early in the females' flowering time and continues for 2-3 weeks (assuming they're the same strain of course). growing side x side during veg will not hurt anything other than limit the space your f's have but be aware males need to be gone BEFORE they produce pollen but they give plenty of sign before that happens.

4 males out of 80 is unheard of so expect to find a lot more...
m.g. Reviewed by m.g. on . Males in my patch! Hey guys. I just checked up on my clones and i noticed some males in the bunch. they are only about 7 weeks old from clone, and had only 4 males in the bunch of 80 or so. My question is, i spotted them while they were young....do they cause a problem due to pollenating?, and do they pollenate the same time as the females flower? I heard that having them mixed in your crop can screw things up ( i kind of figured that). I moved two about 100 ft away from one patch, and have them tucked behind Rating: 5
