Hi all, first post, so apologies if I'm breaking any rules, crossing any boundaries or committing any sins.
I'm an older guy, 59, and just getting into weed (who said old dogs etc etc). I was gifted a plant last year that I grew to maturity and then harvested, which, let's be honest, was pretty fucking edgy of me (given how square I am and given how illegal it is where I am).
I felt like some kind of low key Walter White. Say my name.
Anyway, my wife and I smoked it, using a vaporiser and, wow! I guess I'm super late to this party, but I got here, so that's got to be worth something? Right?
Anyway, that supply is getting a little low and my first benefactor isn't on the scene anymore so I thought I might try to grow my own. My annual needs are modest at best, so I reckon a plant or two will just about see us old folks out.
Now this is the shocking part, so batten the hatches.
When I harvested the original plant, there were a lot of seeds, so clearly the plant had been fertilised at some point. Now, I've done a bit of reading since and it's become clear to me that a fertilised plant is some kind of 911/Covid19 scale disaster. Thankfully I didn't know that because I had a bag of dope with a whole shitload of seeds. I was able to shake 'em out pretty easily and smoke what was left.
I didn't know it was supposed to be bad, I swear! I wouldn't have enjoyed it so much if I knew!
Just recently I've followed a bunch of online advice and managed to germinate some of those same seeds with the paper towel method and transplanted five of them into soil under some CFC globes (indoor). The first of them has grown an inch or two in a couple of days, which is embarrassingly exciting.
So, my heretical question is this. Given that my wife and I loved the product of a fertilised plant and given that I may be my only source of seeds and given that I only have a very small stealth grow site, should I still cull any male plants?
Don't forget, I'm likely to need a source of seeds and I'm also a very low standards kind of guy. Bear that in mind fellow members.
And also, be kind to Grandpa.

I’m 53 btw
I'm in Australia where everything is still deeply illegal, as a result I'm a bit gun shy about buying seeds online, I expect they'd get delivered by the Federal Police.
