have you ever bought a sack of weed that has seeds in it? a lot of times thats hermie bud ur smoking. last time I found some balls I took a razor blade and very gently cut them off..
however I also agree with a lot of growers who say leave them on and collect their pollen, when they drop it, then pollinate the lower buds...
seeds are gonna get more and more scarce as the war on drugs continue, so it'll be nice to have your own stash of weed and of seeds.

How to take and use pollen
This is a simple method of collecting and administering pollen to your female plants in a shared environment.
Collection
As the picture shows, this male plant is raring to go. (My totally simple pollen collection technique in action.) I recommend doing this only after you have closed the ladies up for the night. Shut off any fans in the vicinity, as pollen is an airborne 'agent' and will travel for quite some distance if allowed.
Also be considerate of household members that are sensitive to pollen
1) Place a dry, sterile, open bag/container under the opening male flowers.
2) Gently tap the stem with a finger. The pollen will slowly settle into the container. (If you are careful, only a few flowers will fall into the mix.
3) Remove any flower/plant parts that land in your container with the pollen. Tap them off gently before removing, to recover the pollen. (Moisture = BAD)
4) Dilute pollen with sterilized flour at a four-to-one ratio. This will allow more coverage if required (Optional)
5) Refrigerate until use. (Viable for around 3-5 days)
6) Immediately change your clothing and clean up before going near your female plants.
[Also, it is a good idea to isolate your pets during this time. I had a cat run in once when I was collecting pollen and after I chased it out, it promptly ran downstairs and into my Flowering room. A month later I had some very unusually crossed beans]
This is a real easy and practical method for harvesting a small amount.

This is all the male pods from one plant. very few for a plant of that size.
The seeds were bought as fem seeds so i am very suprized that all four plants are hemaprodite and have these balls on them. The other three plants had less than this. I have cut them all off with a sharp blade. i would say these pods were 8th " inch across.
