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.
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.
