OOOOOOO..K... I see a lot of people on here misunderstand the male pollen sack/seed concept. Go get a joint or pack a bowl. Here's pretty much how it goes:


Females grow buds..., which are made up of a bunch of little sacks or "eggs". These sacks are actually called calyxes and have 2 little hairs (pistils) coming out of each. That's why the plants continue to increase in hairiness as they grow more calyxes, therefore more hairs. These hairs catch pollen....

Males grow pollen sacks..., which contain pollen or "sperm." This pollen is like dust that spreads across the crop when the pollen sack opens. After the male spreads it's pollen, it is left with a bunch of open pollen sacks and leaves. No buds. Now pay attention. The little hairs (pistils) on the female "catch" the pollen and bring it inside the sack...and form a seed.

This is why the seeds are in the buds. The buds (groups of calyxes) are the only smokeable part, but if they are pollinated by the males, they form seeds.

If it is a good strain, the male will have some THC crystals (trichomes) on the leaves, which you could potentially use to make hash, even though the hash made from males is less potent then that made from females.

Males are virtually useless. Kick them in the nuts and chop them down. It took a long time for me to embrace this concept, but it must be done. If you just cant bring yourself to do that, grow them SOMEWHERE ELSE...and harvest the crystally leaves for hash or cooking. That is all.



Hope this helps clear up the whole "males growing seeds" controversy!! :thumbsup:


Whew, I need to go smoke a seedless female group of calyxes after that long rant. :rasta: :rasta: :rasta:


Be light....like a feather.
