High Everyone,

I got a batch of male plants that have been flowering for a week now. I want to make cannabutter out of them and I was wondering when is the best time to harvest male plants to get the most out of them?

Thank You All for your comments!

You live in the Netherlands and you're spending your time on male plants???? I've heard that even the cannabutter from them blows dude. Males are useless, comparatively speaking...

x2 ^^ useless

Well, I googled it and seems like a lot of people are very satisfied with the results. Some are even saying its crazy to throw them out. I always did, but I guess its worth a try. I just want to know when it is best to harvest, because they do contain cannabanoids, some strains more than others.

males do have trichs, but is it worth the electricity, nutes, and time?

i dont think so.

Well, when you grow from seed you have them anyway, so is it worth throwing them out after the electricity, time ect...? No, My question is, when do they peak for potency? I don't grow males on purpose, it just happens.

Update for you guys, I chopped my males yesterday. My fingers were really sticky, which means trichs. I confirmed that there was trich under the microscope. I also want to mentioned that I grow afghan, its a real resinous strain, so for the skeptical people, you can make good cannabutter out of males from a resinous strain. I don't even have to make the butter to know its going to be good because of the stickyness of my fingers.

Good thread guys, peace.

Males have no THC. Or well VERY LITTLE. they only give off pollen. butter of pollen. now thats gross

from what I have heard male plants have the most thc in them when they are just about to go into flower, make some pollen sacks. thats when most people i know cut them all down and dry them out and smoke them as shake. Sometimes we mix a small bit of hash with the shake and then it gets you high as regular bud.
So you say you are already into flowering, So i would chop them babies down, their already past their prime. hope that helps, peace

Thanks man, people who say male plants have no THC are people who don't grow good, dank, sticky weed, period. Get some good seeds.
