[sparkiemark82]

Hello to all I'm currently in early flower on my first ever grow(using the BCBloombox) and have identified three obvious males is there any uses for these other than compost IE:canabutter or tinctures or do they contain too little THC to make the processes worth while. I want to thank all involved in this site for there knowlage and assistance it has proven priceless. Because of the open sharing of info and eagerness with which its given to the meticulous journals my grow is a blooming success(lol) I couldent immagine not joining in and being a part of the 420 comunity (sorry for any typing errors but this is also my first comp.)

hello

 

[sparkiemark82]

still there Bee23?
got any info on my male issue?

 

[Bee23]

Hey McBudz what do you say?

 

[McBudz]

males are good for pollinating females and making seeds if you are wanting to do that. Some make cannabutter but there is little THC in the males. No resin glands. I just throw mine away.

 

[Bee23]

How and what would one collect the 'goods' in?

 

[McBudz]

in a bloombox setup its really not easy to let the males go and collect the pollen without pollinating the females in there too. If you had plants in separate pots you could move the males somewhere else let them do their thing and collect the pollen in zip lock bags. Or shake the whole plant real good inside a trash bag or something. Then use a paint brush to apply to lower bud sites of a female. I would tie a ribbon around the bud site you pollinated so you know where to collect the seeds later.
