Hey all, relatively new to this. Need your expertise in identifying one of my plants. Is this considered a male or a hermaphidite?
That’s a Male plant. Pollen sacks no PistilsHey all, relatively new to this. Need your expertise in identifying one of my plants. Is this considered a male or a hermaphidite? View attachment 2101294
Good question.......Thankyou all. Would this plant be suitable for making a CBD oil ?
Thanks for the helpGood question.......
If I'm not mistaken, males don't have thc, nor do they have cbd......I can and will verify in a few minutes....
I was going to ask earlier what your plans with it was......
I stand very much corrected........but in all fairness, I haven't dove down that 🕳 yet....till now...real quickly though.....Thanks for the help
This is a outdoor greenhouse setup. I have removed the male plant from my others, and started the drying process in a different location. The male plant that was removed is a very large plant (well over 3 metres).Hey there Pippa. If you grow this out, be cautious with where this plant will live in relation to your females. If you haven't researched how much pollen a male plant can produce, you may want to. You run the chance of cross pollinating you garden via fans and airflow for indoor grows, and pollinators on outdoor grows. Not bad if your looking to breed. Once the female is pollinated, the plant will put its enegery into making seeds for the next generation. You'll still get your thc and cbd according to the strain, but they may not be the quality your looking for. Are you growing indoors, outdoors, greenhouse???
What do you use the pollen for ?100% male… wish I was there to collect some pollen though!
Pollinating females selectively to make seeds/ custom crosses etc, just did it earlier this year to make some seeds of a 2012 strain of cement shoes someone gave me their last 2 seeds of managed to pull 280 seeds out of her,What do you use the pollen for ?
Seems to look like you know what you're doing. This is my first proper go at it and will take any advice I can get. From what I can tell I probably have 5 or more different types of plants/strains as they all vary in different sizes, types of leaves, stages, and colour. So I'm finding it a little hard to get information as they aren't all the same plants.Pollinating females selectively to make seeds/ custom crosses etc, just did it earlier this year to make some seeds of a 2012 strain of cement shoes someone gave me their last 2 seeds of managed to pull 280 seeds out of her,
Pollination can be done in multiple ways, full plant pollination (leaving the male in a tent or greenhouse with females) and letting the fans spread the pollen, or using an fine tip paintbrush and painting pollen into a specific branch I just harvested one plant that I single cola pollinated one branch on my last grow, a single cola got me about 20-25 seeds total still pulling a few more
Few pics of a pollinated / seeded bud near harvest and the seeds I pulled from them
When the pollen sacs are near bursting you can bring f the plant to a safe spot away from your females and carefully start extracting the pollen from the sacs and save it for breeding purposes (these will be regular seeds)
All the seeds shown above were made by using polled from a plant I revered with collidal silver forming male parts in a female branch, when the sacs looked ready I cut the brach off, removed the pollen, jarred it then painted it onto the stigmas (white hairs) early in flower (week 2-3 of flower) these should be Feminized seeds
Breeding goes extremly far beyond my knowledge, never read about it or studied it before, there’s some pros here on the farm that have it down to a non-thought, I’m just learning and trying what I read gotta start somewhere lol
That’s quite common with new growers, so many strains you wanna try,Seems to look like you know what you're doing. This is my first proper go at it and will take any advice I can get.

I made seeds in tent and outdoors. Pretty well controlled I guess. About 30 ea. Malawi pollen x blueberry og and malawi pollen x my super lemon dawg. Not to many seeds from the outdoor yet but have barely touched it. Malawi x super lemon haze, and malawi x critical locktite. Haven't had a chance to pop them yet. Can't wait. Gotta finish the house.IMO the only thing males are good for making is seeds! How many people have you ever seen Use them for anything else?
