"GENIU",as u put it,thinks your an ass.didnt your maA ever tell u if you dont have anythin nice to say dont open your trap.besides in one sentance you confirm the existance of thc in the "other" trichs(HOWEVER NOMINAL) then proceed to say NO trichs=headache.

Read back over the convo, I said he couldn't process his plants because they're vegging and have no trics. Genius above said not only one type of tric produce THC, I then said the other trics produce so little that it's considered mathematically nominal like the amount produced naturally by the body.

In short:
Male flowering plants=bulbous Trics=worth making hash from
Male vegging plants=no trics=headache if you smoke it.
Ok that makes sense. I've got them in quaranteen in my closet away from the females and in 11/13 photoperiod. Ill wait until I have some pollen to harvest from them, and then into the compost heap. That kinda sucks... they smell so nice

How do I decide which male to use the pollen from (going to pollinate just a few dozen pistils) biggest stongest one? or maybe the one with the most flowers on it

This is the fun part of breeding in the sense that you choose which make you like based on what exactly you want. I'd choose the one with the densest flower clusters, best internode space, strongest root system (basically the positive "basic aspects" of MJ plants) but also the ones who have the smell, etc I like (the aspects you desire).

If you're gonna flower them out to collect pollen you may have trics tho (depending on strain they can start appearing from week 2-4 of flower), so a hash run is possible then, I thought you were just gonna veg them that's why I said making hash was pointless.

If you do grow out the resulting seeds from the pollen, clone everything before you flower it because you could find a "super female" (from hybrid vigour) that's worth keeping.
