Male marijuana plants

its not easy going through the stress of raising a plant and it turns out to be a male :( that's why its always good to plant multiple seed so you have a better chance of getting a female in the group,male plants can be identified by the small bells or balls hanging from plant as you can see in the picture above and if you don't get rid of them all your crops are gonna get seeds. If you have any questions ask

I wish I kept more of the males I tossed.

Now, even though it costs yield, I run seeded plants to
provide breeding material. I grow micro and gift seeds
to other growers to test.

So far, so good.

Are you gonna' keep the male plant?

I don't keep male plants I just keep a few of the bells in the freezer and if I need them I use them only from a selective breed,I respect what you're doing though need more seed breeders in my area,keep it up...try breeding blue mystic and pineapple express you'll get a big suprise :)

I don't normally grow male plants, but when I do, I prefer to let them blow their load and save it in the freezer. "stay thirsty my friends"

i do the samething but i only keep the sacs(pollen)of rare breeds then i clone a female mother plant i want to mix (cross breed) and pollinate it :woohoo:

I like to try to save some pollen for projects. When is the earliest pollen can be collected?
I have tried as soon as sacs appear but liquid forms and I think yellow liquid too.
Is that good to pollinate?
Nice pics though.

How old is the the plant you got the pollen sacs from ? It depends because the pollen is located inside the sacs and it has to be mature enough to pollinate a female plant,you could wait until it reaches the stage you see in my pic just plzz make sure he's nowhere close to the girls or he's gonna rape them and you'll end up with a seedy crop
