Male plant question

[wablestomp]

I have been growing this plant for a little over 2 1/2 months and it turned out to be male. I have a few more babies behind it so i pulled it so not to pollinate the others i was wondering if i dry the plant out can you smoke the leaves? or is the plant completly worthless?

However small, there is still THC produced by male plants. Whether its enough to get you high depends on the strain and THC producing genetics of the male that you have. Its still possible to get a buzz from a male palnt but it wont be anything like a female bud will produce. Ive heard of people making hash out of some male leaves but very low potency.

Males are good candidates for Canna-Butter.

Hash too

 

[Ronnie]

worthless. if you flowered it til the sacs were swollen with powder, you could dry that and smoke some of it along with the smaller leaves, but it's shit. don't waste your time on male plants. sorry dude.

Hash too

Hash requires thrichomes. Males produce very little to no trichs so they are a very lowsy candidate for hash making. They do make great butter though. The best butter I ever made came from a male duckfoot plant.

Duckfoot? hehe whats that? First I have heard of it

WallyDuck on Ducksfoot Strain.

(Ducksfoot is basically a strain that looks alot like many other plants not really the classic marijuana shaped leaves, alot of poeple say its very easy to disguise in the outdoors and it blends right in. "WallyDuck" is the Breeder who created the strain.)

Breeders report on Ducksfoot.

Plant structure:
Up to 8 ft in height and can be as wide, average around 6 ft. Very large, bushy webbed leaved plant . . . tends to like to spread with training to produce masses of large tight and very heavy, smelly buds. Buds have been as large as my leg... The Ducksfoot seems to be a very hardy plant. It begins to show its webbed traits on the second set of leaves, that come out quite wedged shaped and usually single bladed. The following leaf is the typical 3 fingered Ducksfoot leaf. Successive leaves will continue up to seven apparent points, and can be very large, dinner plate size. The leaves progressively lessen in points as the plant ripens as with other varieties.

Yield:
I have yielded huge amounts from my ducks, up to and over 2 pounds, due to its quick growth it is able to support hundreds of fat buds.

Maturing times:
I am still working on what sort of time it matures in climates different to mine; in my climate it is planted anywhere between October and December, and is harvested late March to mid April.
I have seen a few plants grown in the U.K. that veged well, but I don't believe the ripening time was long enough to produce the same thing I get here, he said it was still going into November. Climates similar to Australia have had no problems at all, as far down as Perth in western oz...

Indoors:
I have grown duck indoors a few times, they veged very well, but the buds were wispy and airy and didn't seem worth the trouble. We had 2 plants that were successful out of 20 tested, the successful ones were very good, but I haven't seen another suited one since and would recommend that it is not grown indoors, after all why hide a plant that has its own camouflage specially suited for the outdoors?..

Bud size and form:
Some of the fattest and weightiest buds I've come across, green in colour... Bud formation can vary a little . . . have had them up to 4 inches in diameter and very solid, sometimes causing problems here with mould due to that fact...

Uniformity:
All plants are webbed, but some variations can occur in bud formation, i.e. , some more looser Sativa type buds, and others will resemble the tighter Indica formation... All plants have a similar smell and taste, a little stronger in some than others. It has not bothered me to have some variation in the plants, but will breed out the Sativa-looking ones and stick to the tighter fatter buds in the near future. It is nice to see all the characteristics though and all plants have performed very well in my location.

Smell and taste:
The duck has a very strong smell, even when quite young and a mature bush can be smelled from many meters away, kind of lingers in the air... Fresh buds smell very strong and will stink your house out, when dry and cured it has a very pleasant, to strong odors; a sweet hashy, spicy smell. The taste is the same as the smell, lingers on the palate for a long time afterwards and is very sweet and refreshing.

Stone:
Nice smooth stone, very steady up and relaxing and happy, very little couch lock, but still quite the powerful smoke, happy weed would describe it perfectly...

My opinion:
I really love growing the duck, it's a really fun plant to grow and I always have some growing. The taste is just amazing and the stone brightens my day, even if it starts a little glum. I have bred many generations of this wonderful plant, and am really taken by its unique structure, growth pattern and fantastic smell...

Potential:
The duck has shown a huge potential in the area of hybridization, its vigor is added to the cross very well, as well as the smell. The hybrids have been of good size, up to average of 1 pound, with huge heads, some up to 5 inches in diameter and tight; some buds were so robust they looked as though they were growing inside out... The recent addition of a webbed Indica to my seed collection may realize some fantastic potential with webbed plants... Spare a thought for the many Ducksfoot plants that gave their lives to bring you this report.

The duckfoot strain was developed by a breeder named Wallyduck and it's a very unusual strain. Moose knows who the wallyduck is as well. lol He's another great Australian breeder who is a great guy as well. Anyway..More about the duckfoot. The leaves are webbed throught the entire vegetive process and it looks more like a rasberry plant than a cannabis plant. Once it starts to flower the buds and odor are unmistakeable though. I'd show you a picture but all the ones I could find are located at other grow site forums. Do some searching boss and you will find some great pics to explain what I'm talking about. I first grew the duck about 4 years ago. Wally sent me several of his strains to grow and try out. I was very impressed with them. The duckfoot was very potent as well. Superior smoke.

Sounds great man Thanks.

Yeah But
I tend to have more stalks in my trash and they soak up butter.
So ya' gota press the hell out of it to get it out.

Where as, say with cold water extract,
it's easier to get what littl' there is.
I hear there's a new bag maker
that has designed them
to be thrown in the washing machine.(smrk)

Yeah,you can get high off of parsly flakes depends on what strain,you say ??? Nope you don't wanna smoke male plant's and really the only good thing about male plants is pollen. And that's only important if your going to let them breed with the females,for seed... so...pull them suckers up and throw them on the compost pile..
