male plants

[sam44]

ok so let me get this straight. are male plants totally usless? or do they still contain thc? the difference is that males dont flower and females do right? if i grow a male will i be able to at least get a little bit out of it?

Do a search on the net on makeing hash from male plants. Not sure how potent it is but everyone i know says you can do it.

cheers all

male plants flower like female plants they just have staminate flowers which do not contain much thc at all. imo it is a waste of time to grow males unles you are a breeder. the thc content is so low that you might as well save your time and buy some schwagg. if you grow out male plants you better real clean your growroom afterward so as not to seed future grows with any leftover pollen.

i had males 2 weeks ago i cut them down and smoked them it got me pretty high, if you do get them flower them if it's worth your while for 2 weeks longer if possible there thc content increases as it flowers reaching it's peak at about 5 to 7 weeks flowering.

No they dont. Males grow small clusters of balls which contain pollen inside them. The female plant will preflower and get loads and loads of small white hairs called pistilles. They will try and find the pollen [The idea is not to get the males in the first place, but if you do you dont want them to be any where near the females.]

The female will then grow false seed pods, and normally, if the male pollen and touched the pistilles seeds would grow in these. But because you havnt pollenated the female, it'll concentrate on THc production as well as bud or flase seed pod production. When the plant is pollenated it still produces THC, but not as much because it's focusing on the seeds. Also, if you do seed a plant and want viable seeds you'd harvest much later than if you was going to smoke. They need to mature.

All in all, unless you want a seed harvest, you dont want males. You can make minute amounts of hash form them, but it's a hard drawn out process and i dont think it's worth it at all.

JUst kill them and get rid of them, and concentrate on your females, they're the plants that'll give you something smokeable.

All I know is that the males I have smoked got me high. Not as good as their sisters, but OK. Maybe I just have good genetics growing, but the males will indeed get me high! Been toking for 40 years. - Granny

i know that is how males flower. but they do flower and the flowers are called staminate flowers(notice i duidn't say buds) the clusters of balls you speak of are called staminate flowers.

But you said males flower the same as females. They dont. Unless you mean they both flower.

THEY DO FLOWER if they didn't then they would just veg and never produce any pollen so the cannabis plant would become extinct after 1 generation unless mother nature found her own method of cloning. so as i said before males flower like females but the flowers are different (staminate not pisillate) which are pretty much useless except for collecting pollen. it's that simple.
