are you going to remove the males before the pollen sacks open and fertilize the fems? or do you want to cross them and grow the seeds produced from the fem?
Yeah, i already pulled shorty up and i put Droopy in my room for one more day. The roots on Droopy were real nice so i'm excited for Sweetness!! I'm afraid i may have to transplant again though. I don't know. we'll see. But shorty and droopy are going to give me smoke/cookies to last me for awhile so thats straight!looking good ISOLATE the male
Males do not produce buds - but some (not all) males do produce trichomes which contain THC - so you can gather this and make kief or hash and smoke it.i thought you couldn't smoke the males?
Well i pulled some leaves off the plants about 1 1/2 weeks ago they are now dry and if you smoke 2 bowls or so you get a light mellow high.Males do not produce buds - but some (not all) males do produce trichomes which contain THC - so you can gather this and make kief or hash and smoke it.
I could also easily be wrong (i often am) but according to a few books I've read like Understanding Marijuana and Marihuana: The Forbidden Medicine - THC is only found in trichomes - so if it gets you high - they have to be there (even if the buds aren't frosty). Like the crappy weed around here doesn't have any trichs (that are visible) but it still gets you high.Well i pulled some leaves off the plants about 1 1/2 weeks ago they are now dry and if you smoke 2 bowls or so you get a light mellow high.
And i thought....let me know if i'm wrong....that they will produce resin until they start to move energy to making the pollen? B/C none of these leaves had trichomes on them and they do get me high....just takes more matter.
For sure! Makes total sense........now what about CBD and that?I could also easily be wrong (i often am) but according to a few books I've read like Understanding Marijuana and Marihuana: The Forbidden Medicine - THC is only found in trichomes - so if it gets you high - they have to be there (even if the buds aren't frosty).

So either the books are wrong or there are trichomes on the leaves - just not noticeable?
so yes - you can smoke the leaves from a male (that is producing trichomes w/THC - according to the books) and you'll get high - much like you can get high from smoking the leaves from a female plant. But since leaves normally taste like crap - most folks make hash/oil/butter out of the trimmings (like leaves) instead of smoking them.
make sense?
The marihuana plant contains more than 400 known compounds of which more than 60 have the 21-carbon structure typical of cannabinoids. The only cannabinoid that is both highly psychoactive and present in large amounts, usually 1-5 percent by weight, is (-)3,4-trans-delta-1-tetrahydrocannabinol, also known as delta-1-THC, delta-9-THC, or simply THC. A few other tetrahydrocannabinols are about as potent as delta-9-THC but are present in only a few varieties of cannabis and in much smaller quantities. A number of synthetic congeners (chemical relatives) of THC have been developed under such names as synhexyl, nabilone, and levonatradol. The other two major types of cannabinoid are the cannabidiols and the cannabinols. It appears that the plant first produces the mildly active cannabidiols, which are converted to tetrahydrocannabinols and then broken down to relatively inactive cannabinols as the plant matures.
Did it fall over because of weight, or did it just kinda droop and fall over... if it drooped and looked real saggy I would say ya need water!. really though it is hard to say without pics.One of my plants is falling over, so I reinforced it. Is that due to lack of nutrient absorption or is that normal. It's Super Silver Haze skunk, sativa if that information helps any.
Here ya go!! Enjoy!I got my popcorn, whens the movie start ??
Looking good! little yummy bud development!
