If I want to make hash oil out of my male plants, can I do so as soon as I find out they're male, or do I have to wait and let them flourish a bit???

thanks

stecki,
If you have a female, keeping a male around to pollinate her is not the best, unless you want seeds.
If you don't have a female then growing the male some might increase the THC levels some.
Bottom line if you have a female - chop the male right away.
Best of luck GB

If you can risk the off chance of missing it by a few hours, you can often let a male grow with the girls for a week or more after definitely determining its sex. Those who insist on pure sensi need not worry so long. I quickly eradicate any plant that shows male flowers. But that's just me. On the other hand I often grow a set of seeds, specificlly looking for a male. Mostly it depends on the ultimate aim of the garden.

Smiles,
