Ok, I diceded to keep my males, but when is it harvesting-time for males ???

a) If I keep them with the females?

b) If I don't put them togheter?

Separate your males from your females because if they pollenate your females then it'll lower the THC content when they females switch to producing seeds instead of nice juicy buds.

You'll want to harvest your males shortly before the pollen sac bursts in order to get them with enough THC to get high off from. Other wise all you'll end up with is a bag full of headache.

Toke it easy, Pan.

I have to disagree with you. Please post a source for this information. Seeded buds are sometimes stronger smoke than non seeded. There is more smokeable material with sinse but in my garden the seeded buds are stronger.

Well, the first source would have to be my 7th grade science teacher, Mr Hall. Every horticulture book I've read since supports my previous statement.

I have to agree with you too, Pan. But the problem is that I don't have enough space to separate the males from the females. I think I have 3 males a hermie and only one female, so I would realy like to keep my male plants, to smoke the flowers just before they open.

I would recomend you do some reading by G. Cervantes. He might change your view. Cervantes is the king of indoor growing and his opinion is seeded Sativa bud packs more punch. M. Emery has also written on seeded vrs non seeded. You might email him and post his response.

From my experience, seeded bud and non-seeded bud are the exact same. The only difference is growing them, in that you get more weed when you seperate the males and the females. Otherwise, it just depends on how much weed you want and whether or not you want seeds for a second generation or not. Peace.
